The Best Ending for “Great Expectations”

I like Charles Dickens’s alternative ending to “Great Expectations” better because the alternative ending suggests that both Pip and Estella will soon meet again and that Estella has a real conscience. The reason I like this better is that it gives everyone what they want, a happy ending. It is of course still a good change because all stories and movies tend to end with everyone getting what they want: a very happy ending. Though Charles Dickens’s original ending was revolutionary, so that was nice. Charles Dickens’s writings were very good in that he understood what the audience wanted, and he created suspense by holding the audience hostage using that suspense. It was something that he harnessed very well and knew how to use in every situation in the stories. Even though I do not tend to enjoy stories regarding romance, this was very good and helped me understand the psyche of the average Victorian at the time.
