Dickens' message to the world!

In Great Expectations, the author Charles Dickens entwines many important life lessons into his seemingly boring book. The main theme that should be learned by reading this book is that no money or social status should take the place of family and friends. Money is a touchy subject to many people and when a lot of it is gained at one time it can be spent unwisely, so remembering the people who are less fortunate is another lesson to be gained from this book. Also, with money happiness is not guaranteed a place in your life. Even if you have what ever you needed you thought would make you happy does not have kind of happiness than the irreplaceable love that your friends and family provide for you. If it is thought about in the sense that money is only paper, worth nothing, that is traded for items or services, and people in your family are living organisms who have feelings and the ability to love, it makes money seem worthless and causes you to think that money can be replaced but you cant replace a person so you should not take them for granted. From the time when money was just and idea all the way up to today, this theme that Charles Dickens wrote about has always had an effect on people and always will because as long as humans have feelings and emotions they will abide by and deeply think about this moral.
