accidentally,.,why he wrote this book?,Charles Dickens Preface to,OT,But I had never met(except in HOGARTH)with,the miserable reality.It appeared to me that to,draw a knot of such associates in crime as really,did exist;,to paint,in them in all their deformity,in,all their wretchedness,in all the squalid,misery of,their lives,;,to show,them as they really were,for,ever skulking uneasily through the,dirtiest paths of,life,with the great black ghastly gallows closing,up their prospect,turn them where they might;it,appeared to me that to do this,would be to attempt,a something which was needed,at which would be,a service to society.And I did it as I best could.,reveal the ugly masks of those cruel,criminals an,d,to,expose,t,he,horror and violence hidden,underneath the narrow and dirty,streets in London.,In,Oliver Twist,Oliver,an innocent child,is trapped in a world where his only alternatives seem to be the workhouse,Fagins thieves,a prison,or an early grave.Oliver remains pure-hearted;he steers away from evil when those around him give in to it;,In-depth analysis,how can he remain pure in body and mind,？,the nature of goodness or whatever,.,in,the novel where Dickens-he believed that,goodness could conquer every difficulty,.,Although we dont think goodness is omnipotent,yet we do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded,.,Throughout the novel,Dickens uses Olivers character to challenge the Victorian idea that paupers and criminals are already evil at birth,arguing instead that a corrupt environment is the source of vice.,a question,If Oliver Twist hadnt met Mr.Brownlow,what would happen to Oliver?,Maybe,Oliver would be involved in the group of Fagin in the rest of his life.Perhaps,one day,he would become a,thief,truly,.,Thank you,
