The great author Charles Dickens has created a sensitive and attractive novel , displaying his competency to the world, in Oliver Twist , which has become a classic today. Dickens makes an attempt to show how unfairly Oliver, the main character in his novel, is treated from the beginning of the story.
Oliver is an innocent boy. Living in an orphanage. His mother died at his birth he has only a stepbrother called Monks. The story flows very sensitively around Oliver ‘s life . There are many characters who are against Oliver and have their evil eye on him . They include his gangster stepbrother monk ,and bill Sikes , Fagin a Jew and Nancy, having developed a genuine love for little Oliver, comes clean about the plot against Oliver eventually. There are good characters too such as Rose, Brown low, Mrs. Bed win and Mrs. May lie in the story.
Oliver’s half brother is a famous underworld gang leader, but at the end, all his underhand work to bring unhappiness to Oliver and others boomerangs. Nancy sacrifices her life to help Oliver at the end. Dickens has succeeded in exploring a good theme to the readers through these characters and their deeds. He has shown that life is not a bed of roses and that every day deed we do will ultimately boomerang on us.
