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.
How would one write another ending to Oliver Twist?
There are many, many ways the ending could be rewritten; in fact, the musical Oliver! puts an interesting twist on the facts. Characters who die in the book could be made to live and vice versa. Fagin could repent his sins (we see hints of that late in the book) and he and Nancy could team up to save Oliver. The various permutations are virtually endless.
When was Oliver Twist made?
It took place in nineteenth-century England. the time frame is not directly stated in the story, from what I understand, One would assume early Victorian times, as she ruled from l837-l90l, covering most of the century, in back view. I am editing this as the answer is clearly wrong. The book was published in parts from 1837 onwards. However Dickens could not have taken reference for a period in the future since he clearly wrote the book before publication. Therefore this work is of Georgian London and in actuality, was made up of Dicken's own memories and observations whilst growing up.
What genre is the book 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.
