World, hold on, instead of messing with our future
Tell me no more lies
World, hold on, one day you will have to answer
To the children of the sky.

There are many themes in the novel. One of theme is guilt. It is one of the main reasons I love the story. The hero, Pip, feels guilty about everything, all the time. He assumes culpability in each relationship, even though he’s always innocent. He takes the guilt of the world on his shoulders.
