It is the first novel that readers are led to a very sad world. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, w
11、hile reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver; he was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered big pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating; I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt sorry for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. T
12、o my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered evil and Oliver lived a happy life at the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the berry, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. H
13、e went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. The good and honest Oliver was born a person of morality who knew how to thank others for their helps; as for the character of Fag
14、in who was of the quality of craftiness, ferocity and miserliness, at last, he was given a capital punishment which he rightly deserved; and the character of Nancy was of the quality of kindness which was defeated by her evil, the most complex character Nancy fell in love with Sikes and the persiste
15、nt love affair, but she had the tendency to become a kind-hearted person The description of the criminals of London that little Oliver lived brought Dickens a new class of many readers interested in social reform. People started to think about social reasons for all of those criminal phenomena expos
16、ing the dark sides of people lived out that time. Dickens carried the good traditions of realism novels since 18th century of England and also developed it; he established the base of critical realism and had effect upon the development of the whole European realism novels. Oliver Twist was Charles
17、Dickens first authentic novel and also was the first time that he led readers into a real but terrible life of underworld. This novel was a vivid picture and Charles Dickens was an excellent realist.Dickens is one of the founders of critical realism in the 19th century, who was the most popular Engl
18、ish novelist of the Victorian era, and one of the most popular of all time. He created some of literatures most iconic characters; Oliver Twist is one of the most important social novels in Dickens early works. Olivers Kindness2.1 His Kindness to the PoorIn the life of his working in the coffin shop
19、, he expressed sympathy to the poor who were more misfortune than him. For example,” A man and an old woman stood near the body, Oliver was afraid to kook at them.” why did Oliver dont want to see them? Thats because he was too kind to have the heart to the poor. Even though he knew himself also was
20、 a poor boy, thats not the reason that he didnt care about the other poor, but why did he do like that? He couldnt offer them money, after all, he was poor too, and he also couldnt give them encouragement. Because they didnt need that, so all he could do was feeling sorry to them,:” so how did you l
21、ike it, Oliver? asked so we were later, as they walked home. not very much, sir Oliver answered truthfully. Oliver wondered how long that would take, and remains silent all the way back to the shop, thinking about everything that he had seen and heard.” you may be want to ask that :Oliver did nothin
22、g, where was his kindness?; but you couldnt forget that he was poor, too. And we also know thats also related to the society. The society was full of selfishness and crimes, people in that time were mostly poor. The peoples relationship were desolated, this relationship can be seen in adults abundan
23、tly. However as a child who was only ten years old, he was kindhearted to the poor, he wasnt influenced by that world. We can compare the behaviors of Oliver and the priest.” when at last he came, he hurried through the buried prayers, and as quickly as possible (it was only a job, after all) the co
24、ffin was put into”. This was the behaviors of the priest. Even though it was his job, its his responsibility to the womans bury he even be late for the burial, with all people were waiting for him. I think the reason that his later was the buried woman was poor very much. He couldnt get enough money
25、 form her family, so “he hurried through the buried prayers” but Oliver, as a poor boy, he could express kindness to the poor. Thats valuable. 2.2 His Kindness to the ThievesWe know that in the London with the thieves, though they were vicious, Oliver also expressed kindness to them, the first one,
26、Fagin was deceitful, he didnt believe in anybody. he treat the other thieves fiercely, that could be seen from the scene:” he looked at the jewelry with pleasure, then replaced them what a good thing hanging is .he murmured, dead man can never talk or betray old friends, so bad a man, he not only fe
27、lt sad for his companions, but also afraid that the other thieves might betray to him, they were all worked for him, and they were only children. The another scene that Fagin even get very angry to Dodger and charley Bates, he even knocked them both down the stairs and sent them to bed with no dinne
28、r, because they had returned with nothing .he also treat bad to Oliver when Oliver was caught to Fagins house again, Fagin picked up a long piece of wood, he hit Oliver hard on the shoulders with stick, even though he was so bad, Oliver also keep a kind attitude to him. When Fagin was in the prison,
29、 Oliver even went to see him, he said “yes, Will you pray with me? how kind he was, what he thought at that time was the good that Fagin to him. we can see that the aim he went there was pray for him , I think Oliver had not hate him ever , he also remembered that if there was no Fagin who gave him
30、a place to live , he might be dead already . He was not only kind but also knew absolutely.The second is one to monks. Monks was Oliver half brother, but monks treat him bad. Because of the inheritance, Monks wanted to hold all the in heritance, therefore Monks tried to kill him. For once, after Mon
31、ks listen to Fagins plan for a while, angry very much, he said “It was badly planned, could you make the boy into an ordinary thief, and then seeing let the polices arrested him, and sent out of the country for his all life. form these sentences said by Monks, we should know that Monks hate his half
32、 brother very much. He was a cruel man .Even though Monks did like that; he finally got forgiveness from Oliver. After all mysteries were ended, Monks shouldnt get the money from the inheritance by law. In other words, all the money should have gone to Oliver alone, but as to Olivers kindness, Monks
33、 was give the other half of money and whats more, Oliver was glad to accept it. How kind a boy! Was there anyone who could do like Oliver? Even to our people living in present society. One society was peaceful, so we usually have a kind heart, thats due to our kind environment. However, we cant meet
34、 with Oliver I think, because our toleration is limited, if someone treats our like that, we usually cant pardon monks. Lets have a look at the social atmosphere of Oliver. The society was dark, miserable, criminal, mostly of the people lived in poor, many workhouses were hypocritical and cruelty of
35、 parish, living in that atmosphere, Oliver also kept a heart which was more kind than our. His kindness to Monks showed his wide bosom, and the love to half brother. No matter how had those monks to him. 2.3 His kindness to Nancy. Maybe many people want to ask that Nancy is the benefactor of Oliver,
36、 I admit that if there is not Nancy, Oliver maybe chased by Fagin and Monks. But we shouldnt forget that Nancy played an important role in Olivers arrested. We know that at first, Oliver was rescued from Fagin by Mr. Brownlow; he had lived a happy life with Mr. Brown after Mr. Brownlows looking afte
37、r carefully. but Nancy made it changed,”Oliver hurried through the streets to the bookshop, thinking how lucky he was, suddenly there was aloud scream behind him, “oh, my dear brother”, before he could look around, a pair of arms was thrown tightly around his neck .suddenly Oliver recognized the wom
38、an he had seen in Fagin house, “its Nancy. he said, without thinking.” That was how Nancy broke Olivers happy life. When Oliver was arrested to the Fagins house, he was hit by Fagin and after that he involved in robbery which made him wounded deeply. Yet Oliver was so kind that he forgot it, all he
39、remembered was what Nancy did for him. Therefore, when Oliver got to know that Nancy was killed by Sikes, he behaved so sadly, he thought that Nancys killing was his fault. Was there anyone else can do like that? I think us cant. We fall short of Oliver. His kindness made him great. 2.4 His Kindness
40、 to Companion Oliver regarded of their position was good or bad, he was always thinking about his friend whose name was Dick in the slum study. As he was detained by Mr. Brown, I thought: if we are him, we will fell so gratified flexibly, but Oliver didnt like that, he always thought that if he coul
41、d had a look at little Dick, who was willing to endure hunger beaten; the small Dick probably just cried at that moment, after that, he still wanted to go to help him. This properly showed his kindness. He was so good, because he couldnt forget his companion even though he was only in a better place
42、 than before. Undoubted that from what did Oliver just said, it can be seen that Oliver was various to his friend, He took the contempt of expression and listen to their cry, he endured the flay and didnt shout, because he felt a dignity copious supernatural fullness in his mind. We know that Oliver
43、 was an orphan, he was so miserable, however, he always remember his friend, thats so various, he wanted to his friend live with him for a better life. Thats Oliver, thats his Kindness to his friend. Olivers innocenceOliver was not only kind, but also innocent, His innocent shoe off many aspectsWhen
44、 Oliver was with the thieves, he was more innocent than ever. For example, at first , he arrived in London with no money, and there was nobody who he knew, Dodger “help” him, and introduce Fagin to him “ “well, dont worry, Ive got to be in London tonight, and I know a very nice old gentleman there w
45、ho will let you live in his place and not even ask you for money . Oliver was deeply grateful for this offer of shelter and talked for a long time with his new friend. However, he wanted first to meet the kind old gentleman in London, who would help him. So innocent he was. He believed in a thief ac
46、tually. He deeply trusts in Fagin before he melts Fagin by what Dodger said. Was there a thief can know a man who would like to help the poor? After all that Dodger was a thief whose friends must be bad men? However, Oliver believed him. He went with Dodger to Fagins house. Olivers innocence made hi
47、m involved in a series of crimes. All in all he was a child who had less understanding for the world. another example , when Oliver had seen the riches of Fagin , his innocence made him foolish again , let us have a analysis “Oliver wander why the old man lived in such an old , dirty place , when he
48、 had so many watches , but then he thought that it must cost Fagin a lots of money to look after the Dodger and the other boys ,so he said nothing .After for a while , Dodger came back , Fagin asked him that “Have you been at work this morning ? “ “Hard at work” Dodger answered. “Good boys, good boy
49、s.” Said Fagin, then he asked Oliver “Good works, arent they, Oliver?” Oliver answered “Very good. I think, at that time, the innocence saved him. That if without his innocence, he already maybe killed by Fagin when he saw Fagins riches. Because we can know that the riches was important to Fagin. He had killed some other boys indirectly, so, at that time, if Oliver didnt think like t
