OLIVER TWIST

Dickens is one of the greatest writers In English literature. He is a master of the social novel and he knows how to depict the hard conditions of the people living in the Industrial revolution period thoroughly and with a great sense of humour. Some of his best novels are Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield or Oliver Twist. Particularly, in oliver Twist the reader is going to find all the ingredients present in his novels, namely, the development of cruel, comic and repugnant characters who represent the hypocrisy of the wealthy. This society is based on the double morality of those who own the money and push the rest of society to suffer the consequences of poverty. Childhood is another element which is always present in all novels. In this case, Dickens chooses a mild child who wanders around the city looking for food and shelter. He goes through a series of adventures that will make you laugh and cry. The end of the novel is fascinating and moving.
