In addition, Sylvère Monod notes that the treatment of the autobiography differs from "David Copperfield", as "Great Expectations" does not draw from events in Dickens's life; "at most some traces of a broad psychological and moral introspection can be found". However, according to Paul Pickerel's analysis, Pip—as both narrator and protagonist—recounts with hindsight the story of the young boy he was, who did not know the world beyond a narrow geographic and familial environment.
