"Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens is a novel written in the early 19th century. The book follows the tragic and tumultuous life of a young orphan named Oliver Twist, who endures a series of hardships and cruelty in his pursuit of a better life. The story explores themes of poverty, child exploitation, and social justice, showcasing Oliver's journey from a workhouse to the streets of London and the various characters he encounters along the way. At the start of "Oliver Twist," we are introduced to the dark circumstances of Oliver's birth in a workhouse, where he is left an orphan after his mother dies shortly after giving birth. The narrative paints a grim picture of life in the poorhouse, detailing the neglect and maltreatment that Oliver experiences as he grows up. As he reaches the age of nine, he becomes weary of the sparse and inadequate food supply, leading to a fateful decision where he famously asks for more, setting off a chain of events that leads him to a series of mistreatments and encounters with various unsavory characters in his world.
