Like many other great authors, Charles Dickens uses lightness and darkness as powerful representation. In Great Expectations, lightness is represented in a unique way. Estella, meaning star, is the name of the beautiful women that Pip is in love with. Estella's radiant beauty contrasts with all of the negative events going on around Pip - lack of a traditional family, insecurity and near death experiences.
