oliver twist takes place in Georgian London prior to 1837. Most likely 1825 plus or minus. A couple of references through the book and film point to this being a possible date although nothing is clear. However The Bow street runners which feature were abolished in 1838 and the book was published in a series from 1837 onwards. There fore I conclude an earlier date to what most people attribute to it...

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 is Oliver Twist like a melodrama?
A melodrama is defined as having a romantic plot with a sensational development, usually relying heavily on the evocation of the audience's feelings and with a superficial arrival to poetic justice. Superficial in the sense that the ending is usually happy, and characters are punished accordingly based on their deeds. Oliver Twist can certainly be looked upon in that way--it's a pretty dramatic plot that uses extreme events to stir the audience's emotions, and Oliver sees a happy ending, while the crooks are all jailed and/or eventually killed. But Oliver Twist is a lot more complex than just that. Dickens is trying to point to a variety of social issues through the plot, and there is quite a bit of character development, not to mention murkier elements, i.e. the death of Nancy?
