This article examines Charles Dickens’s artistic representation of social injustice and the development of humanistic ideals in Great Expectations. Through a qualitative textual analysis, the study explores how Dickens critiques the Victorian class system while simultaneously promoting moral values such as empathy, humility, and human dignity. The findings demonstrate that Dickens exposes the moral emptiness of social ambition and redefines human worth beyond wealth and social rank. The novel ultimately advances a humanistic vision grounded in ethical responsibility and compassion, making Great Expectations a significant contribution to Victorian social criticism.
