𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙆 𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒 Born in a workhouse, the orphan Oliver Twist is sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. After escaping, Oliver travels to London, where he meets the'Artful Dodger',a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal Fagin. Oliver Twist protrays the sordid lives of criminals and exposes the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London,in the mid 19 century.At last, he was adopted by Mr.Brownlow. 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 Luckily, Oliver also found peolpe who took good care of him and helped him with some problems he had had.In my opinion, the novel is very entertaining and it makes you want to read more.I liked the fact that Fagin and Sikes tried to change Oliver , but he continued to be an innocent good boy. 𝘼𝙧𝙜𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 Dickens' Oliver Twist is a valid social critique of Victorian-era London because he basis his fictional Novel upon real events, people and the places of time. May initially think that the exaggeration is purely for effect , but these places that he mentions in his Book did actually exist and were just as horrible as he had described.The casual reader of Oliver Twist who knows nothing about London would not know this background (especially on the specific places he mentions) and would miss the connotation and depth that they bring to the novel .
