Abstract

Charles Dickens has always been champion of poor. He had himself faced abuse in his early life hence his stories not only portrays misfortune but also discrimination and inequality. Oliver twist is not essentially about how he faces all horrid of Victorian London. Be it child labour or criminal activities like pickpocketing; he endured all and came out. No the story is about manipulation of an innocent mind by society. The horrific truth is that today also our society is an evil incarnation. It also portrays how due to development, essentially industrial revolution, we are losing individualism. The more we are drifting towards material comforts our humanity is being shredded to pieces. But this doesn’t mean development should be stopped but as it is said that we should be masters of machines/technology and not vice versa. The shift in our priorities is what we should evaluate and change.
