The Great Heritage is one of Charles Dickins' later novels, and is a first-person novel in which the main character and speaker Pip, who became an adult, recalls the past. In particular, it follows the form of "Bildungsroman," in which a young boy grows physically and mentally after going through a series of events.
Peep is ashamed of his status as a worker and blacksmith due to his beautiful estella, and is also snobbish as he is educated as a gentleman under the auspices of Magwich, a former prisoner. Dickins criticizes humans' hypocritical attitudes, pretensions, and immorality through various figures that Pip meets, regardless of social class, such as Webbischam, her family, Drummel, and Zaggers, a cold lawyer.
It also emphasizes the true qualities that social humans should have through the process of growing up, realizing that the humanity of the gentleman class or upper class, who had been educated to become a gentleman, eventually admiring, is less than the mag position or brother-in-law he despised.
The title "Great Heritage" can also be seen as a "great heritage" and is also related to the subject. This can also be seen as an "extremely many, enormous" legacy that Pip received from Magwich, but it also indicates that he eventually became a "great" opportunity to recognize social absurdities and self-esteem and grow mentally.
