| Summary | "Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the early 19th century. This work follows the life of Oliver Twist, an orphan born in a workhouse, as he navigates the harsh realities of poverty and abuse in Victorian England. The narrative explores themes of social injustice, the struggle for survival, and the innate goodness of humanity amidst cruelty. The opening of the novel establishes Oliver's tragic beginnings, detailing his birth and the brutal conditions of the workhouse. Oliver's early life is marked by neglect and hardship, culminating in his introduction to the orphanage's harsh system, where he and other children are severely mistreated and starved. After enduring this bleak existence, the young boy reaches a breaking point when he bravely asks for more food, setting off a series of events that will lead him to various misadventures and struggles for a better life. The oppressive environment and Oliver's resilience are vividly portrayed, drawing readers into his plight from the very start. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
