Oliver Twist

Yes, politics play a significant role in "Oliver Twist." Charles Dickens critiques the social and political conditions of 19th-century England, particularly the Poor Laws and the treatment of the impoverished. Through Oliver's experiences in workhouses and interactions with various social classes, Dickens highlights the failings of the system and advocates for compassion and reform. The novel serves as a commentary on the class disparities and moral responsibilities of society.

Gruel is typically made from water and oatmeal, but any other grain and even legumes, may be substitutee. The only 'advantage' of serving this dreadful substance is that is can be watered down to an amazing degree. In poor houses and debtor prisons, no effort was made to improve the taste because the wardens of these institutions didn't want people to enjoy the food enough to stay.

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.

The character of Monks is driven by jealousy, revenge and greed. As the story unfolds it is revealed that Monks who conspires with Fagin to turn Oliver into a criminal and destroy his reputation, is Oliver's paternal half-brother. Although he, unlike Oliver, is legitimate, he was born of a loveless marriage. Oliver's mother, Agnes, was their father's true love. Monks, whose real name is Edward Leeford, has spent many years searching for his father's other son - not to befriend him, but to destroy him and so become the sole beneficiary of their father's will. At the request of his benefactor, Mr Brownlow, Oliver, who received the whole inheritance (which proves to be meagre), gives Monks half because he wants to give him a second chance. Monks then emigrates to America, where he squanders his money, reverts to crime, and ultimately dies in prison.
