"The freshness of her beauty was indeed gone, but its indescribable charm remained.
Those attractions in it I had seen before; what I had never seen before was the saddened softened light of the once proud eyes; what I had never felt before was the friendly touch of the once sensible hand... "
Just bought this novel as a mini birthday present for thyself. It is my all time favorite classic.
The plot is interesting, and one thing leads to another.. and i love the way Charles Dickens describes things.. I am always intrigued by what happened to Ms Havisham, the eccentric woman who went beserk when her groom left her, as she tried to froze time, still wearing the wedding dress after years and the wedding cake covered with cobwebs.
And she vowed vengeance, she adopted a daughter and taught her how to break a man's heart..
And the story is about.. well, great expectations. (duh.)
We are all humans, and each individual has a different level of expecting what an outcome of something should be like. That is why we have conflict, riots and break ups... but it is also our Great Expectations that ignites desire.. like an invisible force motivating you to do what you ought to do to make life interesting.
Ciaos.
