“Why did you who read this, commit that not dissimilar inconsistency of your own, last year, last month, last week?” (361). Great Expectations is entirely narrated by the main character Pip--who often gives insight to (and becomes personal with) the reader. This creative style of writing has also been explored by Shelley in much of her novel Frankenstein, and by Bronte in Jane Eyre. These authors, including Dickens, are able to add new ideas to their novels, and give their readers more opportunities to connect the book to their own lives.
