In "Oliver Twist," Charles Dickens employs satire to critique the Poor Law and the treatment of the impoverished in Victorian England. For instance, the character of Mr. Bumble, the parish beadle, embodies the hypocrisy and incompetence of the welfare system, as he prioritizes his own authority and status over the well-being of orphans. Through Bumble's absurdities and the mismanagement of the workhouse, Dickens highlights the moral failures of society in addressing poverty, using humor and irony to provoke reflection and change.

What genre is Oliver Twist?

Oliver Twist was only Dickens's second novel and was a dramatic departure from Pickwick, so was experimental in both genre and structure. Oliver Twist was the first book featuring a child as the protagonist. The book combines attributes of the typical Victorian 'sensation' novel and Gothic fiction, topical satire, elements of the fairy tale, and standard fiction. Dickens was still learning his craft and finding his own voice when he wrote Oliver Twist, but his later books would also incorporate multiple genres.
