Great Expectations
Great Expectations
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What remains when our greatest expectations crumble and fall away?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first followed Pip on his journey, I was ashamed to find the vanity he chased all too familiar to me. This cool yet beautiful tale of growing up that Dickens crafted asks, with piercing clarity, just how fragile an illusion our coveted "great expectations" truly are. Only after the hollow dream of leaning on someone's patronage and worldly success had shattered to pieces did my own real, solid life finally begin — a painful truth I came to understand deeply as I closed the final page.

"I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape."Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
"고통은 그 어떤 가르침보다 강했습니다. 나는 구부러지고 부러졌지만, 더 나은 모양으로 빚어졌기를 바랍니다."
