Pip’s Kinetic Space in Great Expectations

Abstract

Dickens’ Great Expectations was a delicately structured novel, with memorable characters and profound thoughts. Pip’s kinetic space was made through his life in his sister’s family, visits to Miss Havisham’s and life in London. Pip’s movement was not static, changing from one state to another, which demonstrates that Pip was a docile body, disciplined by the social conventions of British society
