Oliver Twist

observer of the society and like Honoré de Balzac, who depicted human comedy of Paris, this English gentleman carefully animated and sketched daily lives of London, its agony, melancholy and the people inhabit on it.

Presumably we can see most of the female major female characters in Dickens’s novel are mother figure as a result, they…

(Dickens, Charles.) Another great example is David Copperfield, about young David who is poor, abused, and sent away from home. (Dickens Lit.) Finally, Oliver Twist shows the common theme of child labor, abuse, and living on the filthy streets of London. (Dickens’ London.)

writings and lifestyle, it would be appropriate to understand him as being a sympathizer for those behind the crime. Not only could this be shown through his support through Urania Cottage, but also through the works of his character “Nancy” in Oliver Twist. Dickens, among many others, attempted to draw a form of empathy for the everyday prostitute, and did so through the characters story. Often, authors took this advantage to paper, and in hope, attempted to raise awareness to the unequal…

As it is clearly displayed in the first chapter of this work, England‟s nineteenth century witnessed a rise of industrialism. It was at that time that capitalism first stretched, accompanied with the „old-fashioned labour laws‟, which ranked the socioeconomic classes.

Truthfully, by the 1800s, this increasing publicized news, however shameful and shocking, was not cataclysmic, nor a big reveal to many. The practice of child labour had become so commonplace that it was regarded as practically a social…

Naseeb Kaur – I I know what it's like to make people happy. Admittedly I didn't mean to walk head-first into a glass door like that Pakistani Engineer in his college video, or trip down a 100ft bore well like nation’s beloved pranky Prince of Kurukshetra, but beggars can't exactly be choosers, and so I make fun of people around me and sometimes of myself to make people laugh. To see smile on all those faces, well, for a brief moment of time is worth living. This is the same reason why I write…
