2. OLIVER TWIST
CHARLES DICKENS

3. DESCRIPTION OF MAIN CHARACTER
in novel
•Oliver Twist The novel’s protagonist. Oliver is an orphan born
in a workhouse, and Dickens uses his situation to criticize public
policy toward the poor in 1830s England. Oliver is between nine
and twelve years old when the main action of the novel occurs.
Though treated with cruelty and surrounded by coarseness for
most of his life, he is a pious, innocent child, and his charms draw
the attention of several wealthy benefactors. His true identity is
the central mystery of the novel.
•Fagin A conniving career criminal. Fagin takes in homeless
children and trains them to pick pockets for him. He is also a
buyer of other people’s stolen goods. He rarely commits crimes
himself, preferring to employ others to commit them—and often
suffer legal retribution—in his place. Dickens’s portrait of
Fagin displays the influence of anti-Semitic stereotypes.

8. CONCLUSION
Dickens's style is florid and poetic, with a strong comic
touch. Comparisons of children orphaned by shareholders
or furniture diners with some of his most acclaimed ironies.
He used social class comparisons
Oliver Twist is one of the earliest social novels of
the literary history.
So by the comparison of novel and movie we can say
that the same problem and issue shows by author in text
form and in the movie director also shows same theme with
television form .so we can see that two different form of 19th
century and 21 century text book and movie is medium of
presenting the real society.
