How did dickuns illustrate his time with Oliver twist?

Dickens is a popular writer of the Victorian era. Between 1837 and 1839, he publishes, in monthly deliveries, Oliver Twist, the story was complicated with a young orphan collected by a band of pickpockets! Widely inspired by his experiment of worker at the age of 12, Oliver Twist is a plea against the mistreated childhood and the deplorable conditions of existence of lower classes. In spite of an aggravated sentimentalism, the novel is also a virulent social criticism at whom the vigour amazes in a very straight-laced victorian society

This criticism in hollow of work houses English institutions depending on parishes welcoming the poor people, the beggars and the orphans, found an immediate echo in the lower classes of his time. Charles Dickens imposes through this serial of the little present popular characters in the literature of his contemporaries (the sisters Brontë, Tennyson, Thackeray, George Eliot). There is Charles Dickens's genius: he plunges his readers for a schilling (the modest price( prize of a monthly publication) into their own universe, but with an erudite and alert feather which makes them laugh and cry for their own existence.

First of all we are going to speak about the poverty. The difference which exists between social classes. Then we go to see the working conditions of the children and generally. To finish then on the condition of the woman at the time of the author.

1/The poverty and the difference between social classes

Oliver is precipitated into a series of tragic events which will reveal him the real nature of those who surround him and will oblige him to choose his fate …

Oliver Twist is an excellent statement on attitudes toward the poor in Victorian England. Charles Dickens shows us how many people of that era were so classist that they treated the poor like criminals. Poor people could only get assistance from poor houses, which had much in common with modern sweatshops. Families were separated. The poor were grossly underfed, to the point of slow starvation, worked hard, and beaten. Even children did not escape this treatment, and were often given away to abusive masters who used them for sweeping chimneys and other menial labor. When Oliver Twist escapes from an abusive master who beats him, he falls in with thieves and prostitutes. Much of the remainder of the book shows his difficulty in escaping that situation.

Historians believe actual conditions during the Victorian era were even worse than Dickens described. Dickens grew up near a workhouse, and would have known this, so it is probable that he toned it down to make the book more socially acceptable.

Although things have changed since then, and conditions for the poor have much improved in most first world nations, attitudes toward the poor are particularly relevant as the recession in the United States and elsewhere continues to deprive people of jobs.

In Oliver Twist, a common misconception people have is that poor people are poor because they are lazy. In one instance, when Oliver Twist is already tired, hungry, and has injured feet, people refuse to help him because he can't run up a hill fast enough. Although he is unable to do so in his condition, they nonetheless conclude that he is lazy.

Many people today believe the same about the poor; that we should cut social programs like food stamps, LIHEAP, and financial assistance to the disabled, because they discourage people from finding jobs. How a person is supposed to find a job on a chronically empty stomach, or with the sort of disability that makes employers scramble to find a fictitious excuse to avoid hiring you, I'm not sure. With people losing jobs left and right, it seems even more ridiculous. I once met a former movie professor who was homeless. The college he taught at nearly went out of business and greatly downsized, you see. He didn't look homeless. That's another misconception people have about the homeless today. In fact, many homeless people go to great lengths to avoid looking homeless. At drop-in centers, typically only open for a limited number of hours on weekdays, it may be possible to shower and wash clothing for free. Failing that, many homeless people who are employed, regularly or irregularly (but not earning enough to afford a home), or have some other small income (e.g. social security, unemployment insurance, busking) will pay to shower at the gym and wash clothing at a public laundromat. Failing other options, many homeless people will take towel baths, which, while less than ideal, can be enough to avoid looking like a stereotypical beggar.

Many poor people are just down on their luck, as illustrated wonderfully in Oliver Twist. Furthermore, stereotypes about poor people being criminals may be self-fulfilling prophecies of a sort. While Oliver Twist receives a little charity after running away, it is not enough to live on. Criminals are the first people to help him in any long-lasting way. Of course, he did not initially know they were
