About Charles Dickens
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
Most of the page centres on Great Expectations. The mind maps cover key themes such as social class, ambition, wealth and innocence against corruption. Others look at Pip as narrator and protagonist, at the opening chapter in the graveyard, and at the writer's methods and techniques. Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield, Bleak House and Hard Times also appear in maps, notes, flowcharts and quizzes.
Where to start
If you are new to the unit, begin with the Great Expectations mind map on key themes. It shows how Estella makes Pip aware of his working-class background, which is where his change begins. Then open the Great Expectations Character - Pip map to see how his thoughts shape what we read.
Next, move to the people around him:
- The quote analysis maps for Miss Havisham, Joe, Estella, Abel Magwitch, Mrs Joe and Pip.
- The Great Expectations Key Quotes flashcards, sorted by character and by the theme of society and class.
Context and other novels
The English Revision-Charles Dickens mind map sets out Victorian Britain: the industrial revolution, poverty, workhouses, the class system and child labour. It is a useful companion to the Oliver Twist maps, including the one on themes. For A Tale of Two Cities, the mind map lists characters and themes, and there are several quizzes to test yourself.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same text, such as Great Expectations Literary Criticism Quotes or Creating Miss Havisham. Note the questions you miss, go back to the matching map, and then flip through a flashcard deck. The slide set on an examination question on Great Expectations from 2017 gives you something to practise on once you feel ready.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Nineteenth-Century Prose strand of Literature. Teachers can set a map or deck as a starting point for a lesson, and students can pick one novel and work through it at their own pace. When you want something tailored, try making your own flashcards from the quotes that matter most to you.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Great Expectations mind map on key themes. It covers social class, ambition, wealth, conflict and innocence against corruption, and gives you a frame for the rest. After that, the Pip character map and the key quotes flashcards are natural next steps.
Which Dickens novels are covered?
Great Expectations has the most material, but you will also find resources on Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield, Bleak House and Hard Times. Some are mind maps, others are quizzes, flowcharts, notes or flashcard decks, so you can choose the format that suits you.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Are these suitable for GCSE?
Almost all the resources are at school level, and some mention GCSE English Literature. Look at the quote analysis maps, the key quotes flashcards and the slide set on an examination question on Great Expectations if you are revising for that course.
Is there anything on the Victorian background?
Yes. The English Revision-Charles Dickens mind map covers Victorian Britain, including the industrial revolution, poverty, the class system, workhouses and child labour. There is also a slide set on Charles Dickens life, which helps when you want to link a novel to its context.
What if I can't find the text I need?
Try the other formats first, since a novel may have a quiz or flashcard deck even when you cannot see a map. Teachers and students can also make their own maps, flashcards and quizzes on the missing topic and use them in class or at home.
