Wrapping Up Great Expectations

I believe that the overall message in the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is that money should never be thought of as more important than love because it will always result in less happiness. The story is really about  the lesson of this theme, that everyone learns throughout their life. Those who were born this year, or a million years ago, all had to learn this lesson because all through time there has been the conflict of having love versus money. Everyone learns, whether they learn it the easy way or the hard way, that love is much more important. Those who chose money over love will always end up unhappy.
