Oliver Twist: Carles Dickens

Charles Dickens's novel Oliver Twist.

 

 

 

•  I have studied this novel in my post graduation. In this novel there were representation reality of Victorian Age and the condition of the society. The term Dickensian is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings, such as poor social conditions or comically repulsive characters.

   

  If we look at the novel it is all about the industrialization and the effect of revolution. The condition of poor and the children represent here into the novel. Industrialization into the society. 

   

  Here Dickens put the protagonist as a child named Oliver Twist. He doing struggle against the society and  he also passes through the evil adventures held into the society. He also lost his family, but at last he gain again his family. Oliver also fight against the manager of Workshop, criminals, and enemies of society. 

   

  Dickens play a role as a social reformer in the 'Oliver Twist' , and he also presents the condition of child labor who works into the workshops. That was the era where the Children going for work at workshop instead of going to school.It represent the poor condition of poor and uneducated people. Dickens gives an idea about the mental and physical condition of the child labor.

  
  

  He presented the poverty and helplessness people who worked at the company where they gain less money for their hard work. At that time London has two parts into it, one is poor and second is rich. The condition is opposite from each other rich becomes rich and poor becomes poor. That is the reason behind the criminal activities, prostitution and illegal activities increase in the society. 

   

  Dickens here in the novel presents the harsh reality of the society, and he also works as social reformer in some of the novel.
