How did Noah Claypole make fun of Oliver Twist?

Oliver was an orphan who was born in the workhouse. That gave him a very low social status. Noah was a charity boy, which, while still not a very powerful position, was higher than that of an orphan. (Noah had also been schooled, so he was more educated than Oliver.)


What is the difference Oliver Twist book and the film?

If you mean the musical movie Oliver!, the plot is much sanitized. The girls are not prostitutes, Fagin is not a pedophile nor is his Jewish heritage mentioned. And at the end of the movie, Fagin prances happily off the screen with The Artful Dodger, whereas in the book, he ends his life as a sniveling coward and a madman.


Explain poverty as a theme of Oliver Twist?

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.


Did Charles Dickens write Oliver Twist?

It's generally agreed among Dickensian experts that most of Dickens's books contain some autobiographical content and this is the most autobiographical of them all. One thing from his own personal experience to which he hoped to draw attention was the reform of child labor laws. It was considered a huge gain by reformers when work hours for children were lowered to 10 hours a day, and reformers like Dickens pressed even more insistently for improvements to conditions, pay and injuries. On a somewhat more personal level, the book can be viewed as wish-fulfillment, the old "prince and pauper" syndrome. Most children fantasize at some point that their "real" parents are not those with which they live. Dickens's parents were obviously less than ideal and Oliver Twist is seen as his efforts to expiate that lack.
