In "Oliver Twist," the gentlemen of the board perceive Oliver as a fool due to his seemingly ungrateful behavior when he asks for more food. They are shocked by his boldness and interpret his request as a sign of insolence rather than a reflection of his desperate hunger. Their misunderstanding is compounded by their rigid beliefs about the poor and their expectations of obedience, leading them to overlook Oliver's true plight and innocence. This misjudgment highlights the broader themes of social injustice and the harsh treatment of the vulnerable in society.

In Oliver Twist What chapter does fragin turn Oliver Twist into a thief?

Fagin, a Jewish underworld villain who ran a hostel for homeless boys and kept them in bed & board in return for their carrying out robberies for him. Oliver himself was taught to do it by Fagin's 'Head Boy', known only as The Artful Dodger, but it was Fagin who mentored the boys in general. Fagin was eventually arrested and tried for his life- the judge offered to spare his life if he agreed to abandon his Jewish faith and convert to Christianity, but Fagin could not bring himself to do this and he was hanged. It's an example of him having some shreds of integrity and loyalty in the last resort, and not being a total villain.

How Oliver Twist came in contact with people and who changed his life?

Oliver Twist: The Son of Agnes Fleming and Edwin Leeford. Leeford disappeared while guarding an inheritance. Agnes died in childbirth. He was a gentle child with a sweet and noble nature. He seemed not to have learned that "self preservation is the first law of nature." Sally: She attended Oliver's birth at the workhouse and later dies a pauper in there. Not much is described in the book. Mrs. Mann: An old woman who runs a "baby farm." To be blunt, she actually starved the children. More than half the funds meant to sustain the children went to her own personal use. Oliver was sent here for the first 9 years of his life. Mr. Bumble: A beadle (A minor parish official formerly employed in an English church to usher and keep order during services. {answers.com}). He is very prominant in the book. He seemed to like flogging Oliver. This needs more indepth comparisons. The Workhouse Master: Not much so say. He's a "Fat, healthy man." Gamfield: When Oliver had asked for another protion of gruel (the boys at the workhouse had barely one helping) the board asked anyone to apprentice him for 5 pounds. Gamfield, an old chimney sweeper, say this advertisement and went to claim the five pounds. Oliver was stricken with fear ( I wouldn't want to go with a chimney sweep, would you?) and a kindly board member (name?) saw this. The request was rejected and Oliver remained at the workhouse. Fagin: A master criminal. he is the leader of an infamous ring of thieves including the Artful Dodger, Bates, Nancy and Bill Sikes. He was described as a Jew having Red hair. He tried to lure Oliver into a life of thieving(yoho yoho a pirates life for me). There is plenty of information in the book, too much to list here. Oliver encountered him when a boy saw him hungry and sleeping on a doorstep. The boy took him to a bar where a warm hot drink lulled Oliver to sleep. I think Fagin took him to the thieves headquarters after. Bill Sikes: Nancy's lover. he's also a fellow thief, a very violent one at that. He owns Bulls-eye, his pet dog which he often mistreats. He also Murders [Sorry, no-can-tell ;)]. He wanders off for a day comprehending what he had just done. He hangs himself while trying to escape from an angry mob. The Artful Dodger: Jack Dawkins is his real name. He is a pick-pocket trained by Fagin. He was eventually found out the shipped off to Australia. Charley Bates: A friend of Fagin and the Artful Dodger. He helped the dodger steal an old man's wallet, a crime whom Oliver is blamed for. At the end of the novel, he reforms and no longer lives a life of thieving.
