DISCUSSION

A.    Biography

(dickens-info.2007) Charles Dickens (Charles John Huffam Dickens) was born in Landport, portsmoth, on Februari 7, 1812. Charles was the second of eight children of John Dickens (1787-1851), a clerk in the Navy Pay Office, and his wife Elizabeth Dickens (1789-1863).
The Dickens family moved to London in 1814 and two years letter to Chatham, Kent, were Charles spent early years of his chilhood. Due to financial difficulties they moved back to London in 1822, where they settled in Camden Town, a poor neighborhood of London.
The defining moment of Dickens’s life occured when he was 12 years old. His father, who had a difficult time managing main money and was constantly in debt, was imprissoned in the Marshalsea debtor’s prison in 1824. Because of this, Charles was withdrawn from school and forced to work in a warehouse that handled “blacking” or shoe polish to help support the family. This experience left profound psycological and sociological effects on Charles. It gave him a fisthand acquaintance with poverty and made him the most vigorous and influential vioce of the working classes in his age.
After a few months Dickens’s father was released from prison and Charles was allowed to go back to school. At fifteen his formal education ended and he found employment as an office boy at an attorney’s, while he studed shorthand at night. From 1830 he walked as a shorthand reporter in the courts and afterwards as a parliamentary and news paper reporter.
In 1833, Dickens began to contribute short stories and essay to periodicals. A Dinner at Popular Walk was Dickens’s first publised story. It appeared in the Monthly Magazine in December 1833. In 1834, still a news paper reporter, he adopted the soon to be famous pseudonym Boz. Dickens’s first book, a collection of stories titled Sketches by Boz, was published in 1836. In the same years he married Catherine Hogarth, daughter the editor of the Evening Chronicle. Together they had 10 children before they saparated in 1856.
Athough Dickens’s main proffesion was as a novelist, he continiued his jurnalistic word until the end of his life, editing The Daily News, Household Words, and All The year Round. His connection to various magazines and news paper gave him the opportunity to begin publishing his own fiction at the biginning of his career.
The Posthomous Paper of the Pickwick Club was published in monthly part from April 1836 to November 1837. Pickwick became one of the most popular work of the time, continiuing  to be so after it was published in book form in 1837. After the success of Pickwick Dickens embarked on a full-time career as a novelist, producing work of increasing complecity at an incredible rate: Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicolas Nickleby (1838-1839), The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge as Part of the Master  Humphrey’s Clock series (1840-1841). All being publised in monthly instalments before being made in to books.
In 1842, he traveled with his wife to the US and Canada, which led to his contoversial American Notes (1842) and is also the basis of some of the episodes in Martin Chuzzlewit. Dickens’s series of five chrismas book where soon to follow: A Chrismas Carol (1843), The Chimes (1844), The Cricket On Heart (1845), The Batle Of Life (1846), and The Haunted Man (1848). After living briefly abroad in Italy (1844) and Switzerland (1846), Dickens continiued at his success with Dombey and Son (1848), the largely autobiographical David Copperfield (1849-1850), Bleak House (1852-1853), Hard Times (1854), Litle Dorrit (1857), A Tale Of Two Cities (1859), And Great Expectations (1861).
In 1856 his popularity had allowed him to buy gead’s hill place and estate he had admired since chilhood. In 1856 Dickens began a series of paid readings which became instantly popular. In all, Dickens performed more than 400 times. In that year after along period of difficulties, he sapared from his wife. It was also around that time the Dickens became involved in a affair with a young actress named Ellen Ternan. The exact nature of their relationship is unclear, but it was clearly central to Dickens personal and profesional life.
In the closing years of his life Dickens worsened his declining health by giving numerous readings. During his reading in 1869 he collapset showing symptoms of mild stroke. He retreated to Gad’s hill and began to work at Edwin Drood, which was never complited.


Charles Deckens died at home on June 9, 1870 after suffering a stroke. Contrary to his wish to be buried in Rochester Cathedral, he was buriedin the Poets’ Corner of westminster Abbey. The inscription on his tomb reads : “he was a sympathiser to the poor, the suffering, and the opprossed; and by his death, one of England’s greatest writers is lost to the world.”

The famous of his novel is “Oliver Twist”. Charles Dickens is known for his novels wrotten for this public and covering the problems with concerned the people from the working class. Oliver twist takes up the issue of workhouses and the treatment of the poor. The main themes of oliver twist are the failures of the organization of charity run by the church or governtment in dickens’s time, when people could into workhouses where they were not treasted as humans, and the same was with oliver. Other themes is the purity in a city full of violence,evil and theft.

D.    OLIVER TWIST

1.     Plot
(sparknotes, 2018) Oliver Twist is born in a workhouse in 1830s England. His mother, whose name no one knows, is found on the street and dies just after Oliver’s birth. Oliver spends the first nine years of his life in a badly run home for young orphans and then is transferred to a workhouse for adults. After the other boys bully Oliver into asking for more gruel at the end of a meal, Mr. Bumble, the parish beadle, offers five pounds to anyone who will take the boy away from the workhouse. Oliver narrowly escapes being apprenticed to a brutish chimney sweep and is eventually apprenticed to a local undertaker, Mr. Sowerberry. When the undertaker’s other apprentice, Noah Claypole, makes disparaging comments about Oliver’s mother, Oliver attacks him and incurs the Sowerberrys’ wrath. Desperate, Oliver runs away at dawn and travels toward London.
Outside London, Oliver, starved and exhausted, meets Jack Dawkins, a boy his own age. Jack offers him shelter in the London house of his benefactor, Fagin. It turns out that Fagin is a career criminal who trains orphan boys to pick pockets for him. After a few days of training, Oliver is sent on a pickpocketing mission with two other boys. When he sees them swipe a handkerchief from an elderly gentleman, Oliver is horrified and runs off. He is caught but narrowly escapes being convicted of the theft. Mr. Brownlow, the man whose handkerchief was stolen, takes the feverish Oliver to his home and nurses him back to health. Mr. Brownlow is struck by Oliver’s resemblance to a portrait of a young woman that hangs in his house. Oliver thrives in Mr. Brownlow’s home, but two young adults in Fagin’s gang, Bill Sikes and his lover Nancy, capture Oliver and return him to Fagin.
Fagin sends Oliver to assist Sikes in a burglary. Oliver is shot by a servant of the house and, after Sikes escapes, is taken in by the women who live there, Mrs. Maylie and her beautiful adopted niece Rose. They grow fond of Oliver, and he spends an idyllic summer with them in the countryside. But Fagin and a mysterious man named Monks are set on recapturing Oliver. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Oliver’s mother left behind a gold locket when she died. Monks obtains and destroys that locket. When the Maylies come to London, Nancy meets secretly with Rose and informs her of Fagin’s designs, but a member of Fagin’s gang overhears the conversation. When word of Nancy’s disclosure reaches Sikes, he brutally murders Nancy and flees London. Pursued by his guilty conscience and an angry mob, he inadvertently hangs himself while trying to escape.
Mr. Brownlow, with whom the Maylies have reunited Oliver, confronts Monks and wrings the truth about Oliver’s parentage from him. It is revealed that Monks is Oliver’s half brother. Their father, Mr. Leeford, was unhappily married to a wealthy woman and had an affair with Oliver’s mother, Agnes Fleming. Monks has been pursuing Oliver all along in the hopes of ensuring that his half-brother is deprived of his share of the family inheritance. Mr. Brownlow forces Monks to sign over Oliver’s share to Oliver. Moreover, it is discovered that Rose is Agnes’s younger sister, hence Oliver’s aunt. Fagin is hung for his crimes. Finally, Mr. Brownlow adopts Oliver, and they and the Maylies retire to a blissful existence in the countryside.




2.     Setting
The major action of oliver twist moves back and forth between two worlds : the filthy slums of london and the clean,comfortable house of brownlow and the maylies. The first world is real and frightening. While the other is idialized, almost dreamlike, in it’s safety and beauty. The world of london is a world of crime. Things happen there at night, in dark alleys and in abandoned,dark buildings. You can find examples of this (in the book) in chapter xv, when oliver is kidnapped and then again in chapter XXVI, when fagin meets monks. Such darkness suggests that evil dominates this world. Dickens often uses weather conditions to aid in setting a scene. In oliver twist, bad things happen in bad weather. In contrast to fagin’s london, the sunlit days and fragrant flowers of the maylies cottage or the handsome library at brownlow’s teem with goodness and health.

3.     Characterizations

a)      Oliver twist- A loving, innocent orphan child, the son of edwin leeford and agnes fleming. He is generally quiet and shy rather than agressive. Oliver’s affectionate nature, along with his weakness and innocence, earn him the pity and love of the good people he meets. Dicken’s choice of oliver’s name is very revealing,because the boy’s story is full at creating character to make oliver particularly appealing.
b)     Mr. Bumble- the parish beadle, a rat man and a choleric with a great idea of his oratorical powers and his importance. He has a decided propensity for builying. He drived no inconsiderable pressure from the exercise of petty cruelty and concequenltly was coward. Halfway through the book, bumble changes. When he marries Mrs. Corney, he loses authority. She makes all the decisions.
c)      The Artful Dodger- Atalented pickpocket, recruiter, cheat and wit. Jack dawkins,known as the artful dodger, is a charming rogue. Fagin’s most esteemed pupil. A dirty snubnosed, flat-browed,common-faced boy(short for his age). Dicknes makes dodger look more appealing by describing his outrageous clothes and uninhibited manners.
d)     Fagin-A master criminal, whose specialty is fenang (selling stolen property). He employs a gang of thieves and is always looking for new recriuts. He is a man of considerable intelligence,though corrupted by his self interest. His concience brothers him after he is condemned to hang. He does have a wry sense of  humor and an uncanny ability to understand people. He’s a very old shriveled jew, whose villainous looking repulsive face was obscured by a quantuty of matted red hair.
e)      Mr. Brownlow- A generous man, concerned for other people. A very respectable looking person with a heart large enough for any six ordinary old gentleman of humane disposition.
f)       Bill sikes- A bully, a robber and a murderer. He is an ally of fagin. Fagin plans the chrimes and sikes carries them out. Sike’s evil is so frightening because it is so physical. He is compares to a beast. A stoutly built fellow with legs that always look like they are in an unfinished and incomplete state without a set of fetters to garnish them.
g)      Monks- Also known as edward leeford (son of edwin leeford and his legal wife).  Oliver’s half brother. He wants to destroy olivers chance of inheriting their father estate. Monks is a stick vilian, lurking in shadows and uttering curses with a sneer. He is a tall, dark blackguard, subject to fits of cowardice and epilepsy.
h)     Nancy- she is the hapless product of the slums, the pupil of fagin, and the abused mistress of sikes. Altough she is a prostitute and an accomplice of crooks, she has the instincts of a good person. She is part of a few of the most memorable scenes(when she visits fagin’s den, when she waits for bill to come home or when she meets with rose maylie and brownlow to help save oliver). She is unitidy and free in manner, but there was something of the woman’s original nature left in her still.
i)        Rose maylie- on the surface, rose is very different from nancy. Both were orphans, but rose grew up secure and protected. She is compassionate to oliver, but unlike nancy, rose is innocent of the evils of the world. Dickens makes clear that she is a pure flower. Agnes flemings younger sister, thus oliver’s aunt. Accepted as Mrs. Maylies niece. Later becomes her daughter in law.
j)       Sally thingummy- a pauper, nurses oliver’s mother. She steals the locket and ring that holds the key to the orphans identity.
k)     Agnes flemming- oliver’s mother, daughter of a retired naval officer. She left home in shame and died when her illegitimate son was born.
l)        Mr. Sowerberry- an undertaker, he accepts oliver as an apprentice mourner. He is forced by his wife’s cruelty to abuse the boy until oliver runs away.
m)   Noah claypolea- charity boy. He torments oliver. He is employed by fagin, under the alias of bolter, and spies on nancy. He ends up as a police informer.
n)     Charley bates- he belongs to fagin’s gang. He is so disgusted by sike’s evil ways that he gives up crime and becomes a farmer.
o)      Bet- her full name is betsy. She is required to identify nancy’s corpse.
p)     Fang- A police magistrate and represents the worst abuses of judical power. A lean long backed, stiff-necked, middle-sized man, with no great quantity of hair.
q)     Mrs. Bedwin- she is brownlow’s housekeeper. She cares for oliver and provides his first real mothering, when brownlow rescues him from fang.
r)      Mr. Grimwig- he is brownlow’s friend. He has a tender heart under his gruff exterior and joins the effort to secure oliver’s inheritance after initially doubting the boy.
s)       Toby crackit- a house breaker who works with sikes.
t)       Mrs.corney( later mrs. Bumble)- she runs the workshouse where oliver was born. A greedy person, she retrieves agnes flemings treasures from old sally and sells them to monks.
u)     Dr. Losberne- the maylies’s physician. He is part of the group that insures olivers future. He has grown fat, more from good humor than from good living.
v)      Henry(harry) maylie- he loves rose and wants to marry her, but she refuses because she believes she is illegitimate and therefore might hurt his chances to win elections. To win rose, henry gives ups a political career and becomes a clergyman.
4.     Point of view
 (Althesia Silvia, 2010) The narrator of oliver twist tends to be pretty hands-off. In general, we only get to see what’s going on in the heads of a very few characters (including oliver, obviously). Particularly with the members of fagins’s gang and the decriptions of london, dicknes backs of and is more objective.
The effect is that these scenes seem almost journalistic-it’s like we’re reading a news paper expose on criminals in London, instead of a novel but every now and then, the narrator launches into a lengthy discussion of how the plot is working, or what he’s planning on doing in this particular chapter. Take, for instance, the famous passage from the beginning of Book 1, Chapter Fifteen:
If it did not come strictly within the scope and bearing of my long-considered intentions and plans regarding this prose epic [...] to leave the two old gentlemen sitting with the watch between them long after it grew too dark to see it [...] I might take occasion to entertain the reader with many wise reflections on the obvious impolicy of ever attempting to do good to our fellow-creatures where there is no hope of earhly reward [...] But, as Mr. Brownlow was not one of these [...] I shall not enter into any such digression in this place; and, if this be not a sufficient reason for this determination, I have a better, and indeed, a wholly unanswerable on, already stated; which is, that it form no part of myoriginal intention to do so. (15. 1-2)
These disgressions, or breaks in the story, remind the reader that this is in fact a novel, and not real life (as if you needed reminding). They serve to add to the distance between us, the readers, and the characters in the novel was important to Dickens from an ethical, as much as from an artistic, point of view. Many of his contemporary critics and reading public feared that novels could be too realisti, and that native readers (often female readers) wouldn’t be able top teel the different between fiction and reality. Especially for a novel like Oliver Twist, which is about “dangerous” subjects like poverty, crime, and the relationship between the two, Dickens probably felt that it was prudent to put the occasional check on the reader’s sympathetic identification with the characters.
