Karma

I believe the overall message of the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is don't mess with others because you'll get what you deserve in the end. the most prominent way this idea is shown is with Miss Havisham. She's been screwing with almost EVERYONE in the novel and look what happens in the end..... SHE BURNS TO DEATH. A more subtle way this is shown is with Pip he kind of abandons his family because he was embarrassed to be poor and in the end he loses all his money and his brother in law Joe has to bail him out. In the end i think everyone got what they deserved. I think Pip learned that money Really isn't everything and family will always be there for you but money is fleeting.
