Great Expectations

"' Now, I return to this young fellow. And the communication I have got to make is that he has great expectations'"(Dickens, 138).

What the lawyer means by saying that 'he has great expectations' is that Pip has been left a great sum of money. This is what Pip has dreamed has finally come to reality. he is now a man with means, meaning that he is a member of the sacred upper class. Dickens is going to explore who Pip's character becomes with this different setting.
