Great Expectations
Authored by Charles Dicken
Charles Dicken's explores the theme of insanity versus sanity with the character Orlick who displays aggressive and erratic behavior in the novel Great Expectations.
Charles Dickens explores the concept of insanity through various pieces of literature. However, specifically with Great Expectations the difference between being insane and being eccentric is explored. Ms. Havisham's greatest indications of insanity is her lack of regard for time. She remains stuck in a moment, which while comical, also shows a lack of regard for reality. Ms. Havisham manipulates those around her to get revenge on men. She grooms Estella to emotionally disrupt in a backwards attempt of revenge. Her own trauma is transformed in to an unhealthy coping mechanism that is is insidious and lacks rationality.
