The Originals Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist, an orphan, is born in a workhouse and later sold off into an apprenticeship. Dickens situates his protagonist amid the squalid lives of beggars, criminals and petty thieves. Trapped in a world of corruption and poverty, Oliver with his pure heart is rewarded with a fair ytale ending. The dark reality of child labor, the effects of industrialization and the condition of orphans in London in the mid-19th century form the crux of Dickens heartrending novel.
