[Answer] In which Charles Dickens novel is the story partly told by its heroine Esther Summerson?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In which Charles Dickens novel is the story partly told by its heroine Esther Summerson?"



..."Bleak House" is considered one of the best works by British author Charles Dickens. It follows the Jarndyce family who expect to inherit money from a disputed case that runs on and on. Part of the story comes through Esther Summerson, the stalwart, motherly heroine of the novel. Dickens used the novel to satirize everything in the public sphere of the day, from Parliament to Christian philanthropy. "Bleak House" is also considered a trail-blazer of the detective fiction genre. The tale's by-the-book, unrelenting Inspector Bucket is generally considered the first police detective hero.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "3. "Great Expectations" (1946) is based on the novel by Charles Dickens, and follows the adventures of a young man from boyhood to adulthood. What is the name of the main character who, as a young man, is played by John Mills?"



...1. Herbert 2. Joe 3. Magwitch 4. Pip "Great Expectations" follows the story of Pip, an impoverished lad, who becomes a servant to a rich old lady, Miss Haversham, who was jilted at the altar and has grieved ever since. There he meets the beautiful, but spoilt, Estella, who is destined to play a major part in his life. Later, he receives money from a mysterious, wealthy benefactor and becomes a well-to-do "gentleman". But who is the anonymous benefactor? The wrong answers: Herbert is Pip's gentleman friend (played by Alec Guinness in the 1948 movie). Magwitch is an escaped convict who is assisted by a Pip as a young boy. Joe is an old friend of Pip from his impoverished past. John Mills was a stalwart of the British movie business for over 60 years. He enlisted in the army at the outbreak of World War II (1939), but he was discharged in 1942 on medical grounds. To UK movie audiences, he is perhaps best known for playing military roles, such as "In Which We Serve" (1942), "Ice-Cold in Alex" (1958) and "Dunkirk" (1958).
