Oliver's mother was going out with a married man. This made her family upset, so they disowned her. It turned out she was pregnant with Oliver. She had no choice but to give birth to him in a workhouse and died. So the people there immediantly assumed he was an orphan and that his mother was a pregnant prostitute. So Oliver was raised to believe he was an unloved orphan. We later find out that his parents were both rich and his father left him an inheritance. Monk is Oliver's half-brother who is jealous of him. According to the will, if Oliver did something bad, he didn't get anything. So Monk comes up with an extremely elaborate plot that takes up the majority of the book and has a lot of gaps just to make Oliver do something bad. Oliver ends up giving him half of his inheritance, which wasn't much. Monks ends up wasting his money, living a criminal life, and dies in prison. Oliver is adopted by a friend of his father and lives happily ever after. So Oliver was never really poor. He was raised poor, but wasn't really poor himself. He doesn't find out who he really is until the end of the book.

∙ 14y agosome of the prevailing social issues in Oliver Twist are: the inability of the poor to escape their poor status because of their lack of power, the misuse of power by those in charge of the poor ( Ms. Mann and Mr. Bumble), the lack of credibility the courts gave to the poor, and the criticism of the Poor Laws in England.

How is the theme of 'Spiritual Alienation' portrayed in Oliver Twist?
In the novel Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens, the theme of 'Spiritual Alienation' is portrayed perhaps most vividly by the main character Oliver himself. Growing up in an orphanage, Twist knew right from wrong, as the ladies of the orphanage taught him Bible verses every night before bathing time. But when Oliver began living with the dastardly Fagan, he was alienated from his spirituality by the way of life he had to take up in order to survive: pick-pocketing and turning tricks on the streets of Londontown. This was Dickens way of showing the spiritual alienation in urban Victorian England--his argument was that the poor were not poor because they were sinful, but that they had to sin because they were poor.
