The book was published in December 1871.

The main idea of the story is that we should always stay stubborn and never give up in order to achieve success, even if everything is strange and hard to understand.

My favourite character is Alice. She is the main character. I admire her for her persistence and determination. Alice spends the entire book participating in a game of chess, in which she is a white pawn trying to make it to the eighth square so that she can become a queen and through the efforts she manages to do it.

The novel was published in 1861.

The main idea is that social standing and wealth—are less important than loyalty and compassion

My favorite character is Pip. He is a very morally strong man. The novel shows how he gradually loses all his hopes: the desire to become a gentleman, the desire to marry Estelle, the desire to maintain a good relationship with his sister, the desire to save Abel. Everything is destroyed, but the strong Pip lives on.

The humorous, or nonsense, story was published in 1865.
The narration highlights the main Victorian literature trends:
There is hardly the obvious moral lessons for children as it used to be in prevoious Literature era` novels.
Alice in Wonderland is full of comments on Victorian society, in which Carroll found much to criticize.
He addresses topics such as

how children are raised and disciplined

the middle-class obsession with time and punctuality

19th-century views on mental illness

The most attractive character, in my view, is the Cheshire Cat's, as he comments about everyone in Wonderland being "mad". I have been really amazed by this creature for its distinctive mischievous grin.

Jane Eyre was firstly published on 16 October 1847.

The novel's setting is somewhere in the north of England, late in the reign of George III (1760–1820).

The novel revolutionised prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through a first-person narrative, where actions and events are coloured by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness"

The book contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, religion and feminism.

My favorite character is Jane because she possesses a sense of her self-worth and dignity, a commitment to justice and principle, a trust in God, and a passionate disposition. She’s a strong female character who is intelligent and never afraid of expressing her opinions.

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Treasure Island is an exciting story about adventures and treasure-hunting. It was serialized in a children’s magazine, Young Folks, between 1881 and 1882. It was titled “Treasure Island, or Mutiny of the Hispaniola”. The story was written under the pseudonym, Captain George North. Then it was published in a book form in 1883.

In my opinion, the main idea of ​​this novel is the value of friendship.  With real friends it’s not scary to go on the most risky adventure and entrust anything in the world.  Therefore, the main treasure for a person is true friendship.
For the main character of the story his adventure ends safely - he returns home and gets his share of the found treasure. But more importantly, he gets an unforgettable experience and real friends.

My favorite character is Jim Hawkins because he is risky, brave and responsible. Jim is the principal narrator of the story; and so, reading the book, you unwittingly put yourself in his place and literally immerse yourself in this story.

It was published in 1860.

The main themes in Great Expectations are wealth and money (money isn't as important in determining happiness as one's character), loneliness (someone looked for the love, someone looked for the friend), and justice (the justice not always punished the guilty, but life has a way of forcing these people to atone for their crimes and seek forgiveness).

My favourite character is Joe Gargery, a husband of Pip's sister, because he was always on Pip's side, protected him and believed in him. Besides, he is a hard-working, honorable, loyal, and fair person. He was not looking for a fame or wealth. He was glad to have what he have already had.

The novel was published in 1861 in three volumes.
It demonstrates readers the greed of the society, as almost everyone is addicted by money and power. The author tries to show we must pay more attention to real feelings and be kind and moral. Although, some kind people are used by the others.
As for me, the main character of the novel,  Pip, is my favourite one, as he seems to me open-hearted and trustful. This person is able to love and to be sorry. I love how Dickens has opened his temper through the plot.

The main idea of the novel is that people can`t become happy by committing crimes. Characters of the novel are unhappy unemployed and greedy people. They made many plans for getting rich, but they were all connected either with theft, with murder, or with deception.The author also touches on the subject of religion.

My favorite character is Herrick, because I think that He is the most responsible of all the heroes. While the others drank and rested, he steered the ship. His conscience was troubled by their plan. He reflected that he had no other choice. When he plotted to kill Attwater, only he felt guilty for such thoughts.
