Description
oliver Twist is a novel written by Charles Dickens and published in 1837. This book is about a boy named Oliver Twist, born in the workhouse in England. Oliver Twist has faced one kind of hardship and abuse from quite an early age. He has run away from the workhouse and fled to London, where he encounters all kinds of varieties of characters-good as well as bad.
Among the novel’s significant themes is an identity and belonging struggle in a cruel world. Oliver is then associated with the gang of delinquent youth led by the astute Fagin, who trains young boys in the art of pickpocketing. Oliver faces many hardships and injustices in this journey, from exploitation and betrayal to the ferocity of the crime world.
Yet, contrasting the darkness with which the novel dwells, the writer equally strongly emphasizes the possibility that redemption is quite possible and there is goodness in people. Oliver’s innocence attracts kindness in several characters, such as the good-hearted Mr. Brownlow and the tender-minded Nancy.
A larger social theme is to be found in this novel, dealing with poverty, class distinction, and exploitation of children, as Dickens was specially known for his critique of Victorian society. The now-classic novel by Dickens remains popular and staple in English literature, delving into questions about survival, morality, and the quest for better life.
