Great Hopes was a classic British novel about the protagonist, Ron Weasley, who grew up from a small town youth to become the richest man in Britain. The ending of the novel was quite unexpected. Ron did not become a successful businessman in the end. Instead, he was wrongly accused of murdering his wife and sentenced to life imprisonment. This ending expressed the theme of the novel, that life is full of opportunities and challenges, but often accompanied by risks. Ron experienced many setbacks and difficulties in his growth, but in the end, he still persevered and overcame all kinds of obstacles to finally realize his dream. However, his success did not help him get rid of the shadow of sin, but instead made him fall into a deeper predicament and pain. The ending of Great expectations shows the impermanence and unpredictability of life, reminding people to face challenges and risks bravely and not give up on their dreams even if they fail in the end.
