Though this novel moves at quite a glacial pace up until the beginning of the second half, once the main story is introduced, the plot becomes a complicated, deceitful maze of unexpected twists and malicious villains. Our hero, Pip, strives to achieve the status of a "real gentleman" throughout, but becoming a gentleman, in Dickens' eyes, requires a lot more than breeding, wealth, and fine clothing.
