Most novels have suspense an example of this is //Great Expectations//. Dickens’ uses suspense to get the reader interested about what’s going to happen. Some of the questions the reader might be asking are Pip and Estella going to date? Or who were Estella's parent before she went with Miss Havisham. They might also wonder if the convict is going to hurt anybody since he escaped from jail or if Pip is going to get the food for the convict. These are all suspensful thoughts a reader might be wondering. There is suspense about Pip getting the food because Mrs. Joe catches him taking the food and if Pip doesn’t get the convict the food he said he was going hurt him. The reader is wondering if Pip is going to find away to get the food again or if he is going to get hurt. In the end the reader finds out the Pip gets the food and the convict doesn’t hurt him. There is also suspense about if the convict is going to hurt anyone else like Joe. If he did hurt someone close to Pip the whole story would change but the convict doesn’t hurt anyone. There is a lot of suspense if Pip and Estella are going to date. Pip loves Estella but Estella who was raised by Miss Havisham was taught not to love, but to be as heartbreaking as possible. The reader is probably wondering if Estella will ever learn how to love. Even though she tells Pip that she cannot love him he still loves her very much and would do anything for her. The reader might be wondering if Pip is ever going to be able to forget Estella and love someone else like Biddy. In the end of the book the reader learns that Biddy marries Joe and that Estella marries Bentley Drummle. Pip and Estella become friends and Pip moves on until the end of the book where Estella and Pip hold hands and he feels like she will never let go. There is suspense to find out who Estella’s parents are. The reader might wonder why her parents gave her up. Maybe it was because they were poor or maybe they were killed. If Estella’s parents had not given her up could she love Pip? Or would she still be as cold hearted and heartless? Could Estella be a more likeable character if she lived with her parents instead of Mrs. Havisham or would she be the same? In the end of the book you find out that her parents are none other than Molly and Magwitch. Dickens’ used suspense to make the reader wonder what’s going to happen and read more. The more suspense you put in a novel the better it is. This sense of suspense makes books almost impossible to put down and make you read more like it. I think Dickens wrote this novel to make people think about life in a more elaborate and detailed way.
