The Book Review of “Oliver Twist” Today, we will discuss about the reasons leading to the whole ending. “Oliver Twist”, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. It is the story of a young orphan named Oliver Twist whose mother died while giving birth in an old workhouse. He has moved around through different orphanages and finally run away to London. On the way to London, he meets a nice boy named Jack Dawkins, also known as the Dager who gave the poor orphan a place to stay and something to eat. However, Oliver found out that his new “friends” were thieves and they forced Oliver to help them with a robbery. Then,Oliver is rescued by the intervention of a benefactor - Mr Brownlow - but the mysterious Monks gets the gang to kidnap the boy again. Through the novel, Dickens confronts the question of the terrible environment he depicts have the power to “blacken the soul and change its for ever.” By examining the fates of most of the characters, we can assume that the answer is that they do not.Certainly characters like Sikes and Fagin seem to have sustained permanent damage to their moral sensibilities. Yet even Sikes has a conscience, which manifests itself in the apparition of Nancyˊs eyes that hunts him after he murders her. Charley Bates maintains enough of a sense of decency to try to capture Sikes. Of course, Oliver is above any corruption, though the novel removes him from unhealthy environments relatively early in his life. Most telling of all is Nancy, who, though she considers herself “lost almost beyond redemption,” ends up making the ultimate sacrifice for a child she hardly knows. In contrast, Monks, perhaps the novelˊs most inhuman villain, was brought up amid wealth and comfort. The whole story contributes to reviving peopleˊs exhausted souls that have already been covered by cruelty and selfishness of the secular world for a long time. There four main reasons to explain the ending. Author The story cannot be talked about without referring its author who himself was also born in a poor family. Charles Dickens wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel capitalists. He also meant to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. Charles Dickens said “love makes world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and keep on inspiring people to chant the melody of love and novel, it was friendliness and kindness of many strangers that made the ending of the story perfect. Human nature-kindness Throughout the story, pure strangers mostly treated Oliver nicely. Even thought the young man that Oliver met on the way to London turn out to be a thief and recruited Oliver as a pickpocket, he was still very kind. He provided food and shelter Oliver without wondering for reward. Later, the owners of the house which Oliver was forced to break into accepted him and took care of him. They nursed him to optimum health and they also educated him. At the same time, Oliver helped them a lot in return. They also spent a full day driving Oliver to Mr.Brownˊs (Oliverˊs old friend) living place simply gathering them together. Nancy tried to give Oliver a hand. She warned his friend of Mr.Brownˊs plan. Unfortunately Bill Sikes founded out it and killed her. “It was a gasty figure to look upon.” The murder staggering backward to the wall, and shutting out the sign with his hand, seized a heavy club and struck her down.” Oliver was a very luck boy to have so many strangers willing to him. Kindness is one of the most necessary characters of a person. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes“The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the nose. Kind people are undoubtedly happy and useful.” That is the reason why Oliver can be innocent and pure inside his heart. What is more, it is the kindness that contributes to the happy ending. Francis Bacon said in his essay “Goodness of the virtue and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of Desty, and without it, man is busy, mischievous thing, no better than a kind of vermin.” That is to say, a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/264e41204b73f242336c5f3e.html
