Wrapping up Great Expectations

The lesson I felt Charles Dickens portray in the novel Great Expectations was that money is not everything, and that you can be happy without it. He portrayed this through Herbert, Joe and Wemmick who all feel that they don't need money and don't really care if they have a lot or not. Without lots of money you don't  have that urge to always want the next big thing because you can't afford it. Also you learn to be ok with how how you dress or how big your hands are because you cant do anything about it. This is why most people without as much money are happier, they have learned to accept it and themselves which is what Pip learned throughout this novel. So Dickens taught Pip and the reader that money does not pay for happiness!
