520			_aCharles Dickens' Oliver Twist is a seminal Victorian novel that explores the life of an orphan, Oliver, as he navigates the harsh realities of 19th-century London. After being born in a workhouse and subjected to abuse and neglect, Oliver runs away to London, where he falls into the clutches of Fagin, a criminal who trains children to become pickpockets. Through Oliver’s journey—marked by encounters with characters like the kind Mr. Brownlow, the compassionate Nancy, and the menacing Bill Sikes—Dickens critiques societal injustices, including the mistreatment of the poor, child labor, and the criminal justice system. Oliver’s inherent goodness and resilience ultimately lead him to a better life, highlighting themes of morality, redemption, and the power of compassion. Oliver Twist is a powerful social commentary that illuminates the struggles of the underprivileged in Dickens’ time, making it a cornerstone of English literature.
