Great Expectations
Lesson Outline
We first reviewed a vocabulary exercise drawn from words used in the novel. I then provided additional instruction on Dickens' satire of different social classes in the Victorian Era. We discussed how the prior chapter satirized the middle class and last night's reading satirized the professional class, specifically lawyers. We focused on how descriptions of surroundings and the people who work for Jaggers are exaggerated for the purpose of creating a satirical critique. We specifically noted how Jaggers displays the death masks of his convicted clients as trophies . He is devoid of any sympathy notwithstanding their executions . Last, we noted the difference between the education Pip will receive as a parvenu in London and the education available to Pip when he was poor.
