Charles Dickens is the author of the classic novel, Oliver Twist. His career as a fictional writer started in 1833 when his
most stories and essays appeared in periodicals. In 1836, he married the
daughter of his friend George Hogarth, Katherine Hogarth.
The story is about a poor orphaned boy and the different misfortunate he had
to go through and in the end of his troublesome journey, manages to find his
family. Oliver was treated
cruelly from the start. In almost every chapter of the book, he is abused and
treated like an ungrateful and worse-disposed boy; even calling his mother
names. In spite of all these events, the balance of the story has not been
visible. Injustice still revolves till in the last chapters of the story.I find the book really interesting, another classic read from Charles Dickens. It portrays the social ill issues in the society like child labor. I like the story but I had some conflicts with it in comprehending because the author uses words that are deep.
In my own honest opinion, I think the writer’s purpose for the story is to discuss the real life experiences of a young, and innocent orphan. I would recommend this book to all people.
