presented as the mercy of more
powerful in society.
This is especially exemplified in Nancy,
who ends up giving her life in her
attempt to act against the men who
hold power over her. When Nancy is
put in charge of taking Oliver to Sikes,
she tells him that she would help him if
she could, but she doesn’t have the

told that; “Cold, dirty, wheat street is
my home” this reflects her mental
situation.

and healthy

the central issue of most

often show superficial
class structure, and theme
of poverty is obviously
related to theme of
society and class, it is
showing social class
system.
Dickens throw light of this
issue in his novel.
10. Other issues in the novel:
Identity, institutional cruelty, the importance of upbringing, criminality,
religion, mob mentality..etc…
The novel is set against the background of the New Poor Law of 1834,
which established a system of workhouses for those who, because of
poverty, sickness, mental disorder, or age, could not provide for
themselves. Young Oliver Twist, an orphan, spends his first nine years in a
“baby farm,” a workhouse for children in which only the hardiest survive.
When Oliver goes to London, he innocently falls in with a gang of youthful
thieves and pickpockets headed by a vile criminal named Fagin.
