Oliver Twist, subtitled The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens, published by Richard Bentley in 1838. The story is about an orphan, Oliver Twist, who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and then is placed with an undertaker. He escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Naïvely unaware of their unlawful activities, Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin.
Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens's unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives.
Oliver Twist as we know as an orphan child so from his character we can understand the situations from those time " Victorian age ". As this age is full of crimes and social issues regarding orphan children and also for women. Best example is Oliver and his mother. How he treated as a slave by rich owners and finally how he lived forcefully with Fagin , a god of thief. Culture and time make Oliver bad person , a pickpocket and doing also different crimes.
After coming to back it's not called a safe journey for Oliver , because here Oliver is a rich object for the people of society so that they never allowed him to live his way and his life safely being by people of Victorian age.
Thank you.
