Abstract
In 2007, New Zealand writer Lloyd Jones won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Overall Best Book Award for his novel Mister Pip. Mister Pip was also short-listed for the Man Booker Prize in 2007 and was awarded the 2008 Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize. This thesis focuses on revealing the reasons of Matilda’s metamorphosis. The paper consists of six parts. Part One is the introduction of the author and the novel. Part Two focuses on the conflict between Matilda’s mother and Mr Watts. Part Three is talking about the civil war and its influence on Matilda’s metamorphosis. Part Four is mainly about the retelling of Great Expectations and the effect of this book on Matilda. Part Five considers the metamorphosis of Matilda. Part Six is the conclusion of the paper. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate how the power of literature affects an individual’s life. The article invites readers to examine how to get out rid of crisis, and then there is a whole new world when they get out of the difficulties.
