About
the
author
Charles
Dickens
is
a
English
novelist,generally
considered
the
greatest
of
the
Victorian
period.
Dickens
s
works
are
characterized
by
attacks
on
social
evils,injustice,and
hypocrisy.
He
had
also
experienced
in
his
youth
oppression,when
he
was
forced
to
end
school
in
early
teens
and
work
in
a
factory.
Dickens
s
good,bad,and
comic
characters,such
as
the
cruel
miser
Scrooge,the
aspiring
novelist
David
Copperfield,or
the
trusting
and
innocent
Mr.
Pickwick,have
fascinated
generations
of
readers.
Charles
Dickens
was
born
in
Landport,Hampshire,during
the
new
industrial
age,which
gave
birth
to
theories
of
Karl
Marx.
Dickens
s
father
was
a
clerk
in
the
navy
pay
office.
He
was
well
paid
but
often
ended
in
financial
troubles.
In
1814
Dickens
moved
to
London,and
then
to
Chatham,where
he
received
some
education.
The
schoolmaster
William
Giles
gave
special
attention
to
Dickens,who
made
rapid
progress.
In
1824,at
the
age
of
12,Dickens
was
sent
to
work
for
some
months
at
a
blacking
factory,Hungerford
Market,London,while
his
father
John
was
in
Marshalea
debtor
s
prison.
“My
father
and
mother
were
quite
satisfied,“Dickens
later
recalled
bitterly.
“They
could
hardly
have
been
more
so,if
I
had
been
twenty
years
of
age,distinguished
at
a
grammar-school,and
going
to
Cambridge.“Later
this
period
found
its
way
to
the
novel
LITTLE
DORRITT
(1855-57).
John
Dickens
paid
his
￡40
debt
with
the
money
he
inherited
from
his
mother;
she
died
at
the
age
of
seventy-nine
when
he
was
still
in
prison.
Dickens
s
sharp
ear
for
conversation
helped
him
to
create
colorful
characters
through
their
own
words.
The
publisher,William
Hall,now
commissioned
Dickens
to
write
The
Pickwick
Papers
in
twenty
monthly
installments.
This
was
followed
by
Oliver
Twist,published
in
Bentley
s
Miscellany
(1837-38)
and
Nicholas
Nickleby
(1838-39),also
published
monthly.
Dickens
was
now
the
most
popular
writer
in
Britain
and
over
the
next
few
years
he
wrote
a
series
of
popular
novels
including
The
Old
Curiosity
Shop
(1840-1),Barnaby
Rudge
(1841),Martin
Chuzzlewit
(1843-4)
and
A
Christmas
Carol
(1843).
Background(oliver
twist)
Oliver
Twist
is
notable
for
Dickens
unromantic
portrayal
of
criminals
and
their
sordid
lives.[1]
The
book
also
exposed
the
cruel
treatment
of
many
a
waif-child
in
London,which
increased
international
concern
in
what
is
sometimes
known
as
“The
Great
London
Waif
Crisis“.
This
was
the
astounding
number
of
orphans
in
London
in
the
Dickens
era.
The
book
s
subtitle,The
Parish
Boy
s
Progress
alludes
to
Bunyan
s
The
Pilgrim
s
Progress
and
also
to
a
pair
of
popular
18th-century
caricature
series
by
William
Hogarth,“A
Rake
s
Progress“and
“A
Harlot
s
Progress“.
An
early
example
of
the
social
novel,the
book
calls
the
public
s
attention
to
various
contemporary
evils,including
the
Poor
Law
that
stated
that
poor
people
should
work
in
workhouses,child
labour
and
the
recruitment
of
children
as
criminals.
Dickens
mocks
the
hypocrisies
of
the
time
by
surrounding
the
novel
s
serious
themes
with
sarcasm
and
dark
humour.
The
novel
may
have
been
inspired
by
the
story
of
Robert
Blincoe,an
orphan
whose
account
of
his
hardships
as
a
child
labourer
in
a
cotton
mill
was
widely
read
in
the
1830s.
Obviously,Dickens
own
early
youth—he
was
vulnerable,and
a
child
labourer—must
have
also
entered.
Introduction
In
Oliver
Twist,Dickens
mixes
grim
realism,and
merciless
satire
as
a
way
to
describe
the
effects
of
industrialism
on
19th-century
England
and
to
criticise
the
harsh
new
Poor
Laws.
Oliver,an
innocent
child,is
trapped
in
a
world
where
his
only
options
seem
to
be
the
workhouse,Fagin
s
thieves,a
prison
or
an
early
grave.
From
this
unpromising
industrial
setting,however,a
fairy
tale
also
emerges:
In
the
midst
of
corruption
and
degradation,the
essentially
passive
Oliver
remains
pure-hearted;
he
steers
away
from
evil
when
those
around
him
give
in
to
it;
and,in
proper
fairy-tale
fashion,he
eventually
receives
his
reward—leaving
for
a
peaceful
life
in
the
country,surrounded
by
kind
friends.
On
the
way
to
this
happy
ending,Dickens
explores
the
kind
of
life
an
orphan,outcast
boy
could
expect
to
lead
in
1830s
London.
Poverty
and
social
class
Poverty
is
a
prominent
concern
in
Oliver
Twist.
Throughout
the
novel,Dickens
enlarges
on
this
theme,describing
slums
so
decrepit
that
whole
rows
of
houses
are
on
the
point
of
ruin.
In
an
early
chapter,Oliver
attends
a
pauper
s
funeral
with
Mr.
Sowerberry
and
sees
a
whole
family
crowded
together
in
one
miserable
room.
This
ubiquitous
misery
makes
Oliver
s
encounters
with
charity
and
love
more
poignant.
Oliver
s
workhouse
origins
place
him
at
the
nadir
of
society;
as
an
orphan
without
friends,he
is
routinely
despised.
His
“sturdy
spirit“keeps
him
alive
despite
the
torment
he
must
endure.
Most
of
his
associates,however,deserve
their
place
among
society
s
dregs
and
seem
very
much
at
home
in
the
depths.
Noah
Claypole,a
charity
boy
like
Oliver,is
idle,stupid,and
cowardly;
Sikes
is
a
thug;
Fagin
lives
by
corrupting
children;
and
the
Artful
Dodger
seems
born
for
a
life
of
crime.
Many
of
the
middle-class
people
Oliver
encounters—Mrs.
Sowerberry,Mr.
Bumble,and
the
savagely
hypocritical
“gentlemen“are
worse.
Symbolism
Dickens
makes
considerable
use
of
symbolism.
The
many
symbols
Oliver
faces
are
primarily
good
versus
evil,with
evil
continually
trying
to
corrupt
and
exploit
good,but
good
winning
out
in
the
end.
The
“merry
old
gentleman“Fagin,for
example,has
satanic
characteristics:
he
is
a
veteran
corrupter
of
young
boys
who
presides
over
his
own
corner
of
the
criminal
world;
he
makes
his
first
appearance
standing
over
a
fire
holding
a
toasting-fork;
and
he
refuses
to
pray
on
the
night
before
his
cution.The
London
slums,too,have
a
suffocating,infernal
aspect;
the
dark
deeds
and
dark
passions
are
concretely
characterised
by
dim
rooms,and
pitch-black
nights,while
the
governing
mood
of
terror
and
brutality
may
be
identified
with
uncommonly
cold
weather.
In
contrast,the
countryside
where
the
Maylies
take
Oliver
is
a
pastoral
heaven.
Food
is
another
important
symbol;
Oliver
s
odyssey
begins
with
a
simple
request
for
more
gruel,and
Mr.
Bumble
s
shocked
exclamation,represents
he
may
be
after
more
than
just
gruel.
The
novel
is
also
shot
through
with
a
related
motif,obesity,which
calls
attention
to
the
stark
injustice
of
Oliver
s
world.
When
the
half-starved
child
dares
to
ask
for
more,the
men
who
punish
him
are
fat.
It
is
interesting
to
observe
the
large
number
of
characters
who
are
overweight.
Toward
the
end
of
the
novel,the
gaze
of
knowing
eyes
becomes
a
potent
symbol.
For
years,Fagin
avoids
daylight,crowds,and
open
spaces,concealing
himself
in
a
dark
lair
most
of
the
time

1.
The
resonance
between
me
and
the
book
makes
me
feel
not
only
the
kindness
and
the
wickedness
of
all
the
characters
in
the
novel,but
what
this
aloof
society
lacks,and
what
I
lack
deep
inside.
These
supreme
resources
I’m
talking
about
right
now
are
somewhat
different
from
minerals,oil
that
we
usually
mention.
They’re
abstract
like
feelings,and
some
kinds
of
spiritual
stimulation
that
all
of
us
desire
anxiously
from
one
another
——
love
and
care.
2.
In
the
novel,though
the
young
Oliver
again
and
again
fell
for
conspiracies
of
those
hideous
thieves,who
tried
to
torture
Oliver’s
body
and
poisoned
Oliver’s
heart
intensely,he
always
lived
on
and
tried
hard
to
seek
for
his
own
life.
Then
I
realized
what
supported
him
all
through
were
actually
beliefs.
In
most
cases,what
you
believe
is
what
you’ll
become.
Believe
that
you
are
unlimited,that
you
can
do
anything
you
commit
to
doing,and
when
you
do,your
accomplishments
will
know
no
bounds.
You
control
your
beliefs
and
that
is
how
you
ultimately
control
your
life.
It’s
all
dictated
by
your
attitude.
3.
As
far
as
we
can
see,it
is
trust
that
helps
us
all
live
together
without
precaution.
Sometimes
trust
can
even
lead
us
to
miracles,which
we
often
expect
to
come
about,so
why
not
trust?
Trust
yourself,trust
others,and
you’ll
salute
miracles
every
single
day.
4.
In
the
final
analysis,love
and
care
contain
numerous
s,there
are
love
of
forgiveness,love
of
trust,etc.
but
they
all
come
from
your
beliefs
in
life.
When
someone
tells
you
he’s
deceived
you,forgive
him
anyway,when
someone
tells
you
what
he’s
done,trust
him
anyway,and
when
you
face
adversities
while
chasing
your
dreams,think
about
your
beliefs,then
what
hinders
you
will
become
a
piece
of
cake
in
no
time.
