A Study of Oliver Twist’s Major Themes and Symbols

A Study of Oliver Twist’s Major Themes and Symbols

In Oliver Twist, Dickens mixes grim realism and merciless satire as a way to describe the effects of industrialism on 19th-century England and to criticize the harsh new Poor Laws. Oliver, an innocent child, is trapped in a world where his only options seem to be the workhouse, Fagin's gang, a prison, or an early grave. From this unpromising

industrial/institutional setting, however, a fairy tale also emerges. In the midst of corruption and degradation, the essentially passive Oliver remains pure-hearted; he steers away from evil when those around him give in to it, and in proper fairy-tale fashion, he eventually receives his reward — leaving for a peaceful life in the country, surrounded by kind friends. On the way to this happy ending, Dickens explores the kind of life an orphan, outcast boy could expect to lead in 1830s London.

Poverty and social class

Poverty is a prominent concern in Oliver Twist. Throughout the novel, Dickens enlarges on this theme, describing slums so decrepit that whole rows of houses are on the point of ruin. In an early chapter, Oliver attends a pauper's funeral with Mr. Sowerberry and sees a whole family crowded together in one miserable room.

This ubiquitous misery makes Oliver's few encounters with charity and love more poignant. Oliver owes his life several times over to kindness both large and small. The apparent plague of poverty that Dickens describes also conveyed to his middle-class readers how much of the London population was stricken with poverty and disease. Nonetheless, in Oliver Twist he delivers a somewhat mixed message about social caste and social injustice. Oliver's illegitimate workhouse origins place him at the nadir of society; as an orphan without friends, he is routinely despised. His "sturdy spirit" keeps him alive despite the torment he must endure. Most of his associates, however, deserve their place among society's dregs and seem very much at home in the depths. Noah Claypole, a charity boy like Oliver, is idle, stupid, and cowardly; Sikes is a thug; Fagin lives by corrupting children; and the Artful Dodger seems born for a life of crime. Many of the middle-class people Oliver encounters—Mrs. Sowerberry, Mr. Bumble, and the savagely hypocritical "gentlemen" of the workhouse board, for example—are, if anything, worse.

Oliver, on the other hand, who has an air of refinement remarkable for a workhouse boy, proves to be of gentle birth. Although he has been abused and neglected all his life, he recoils, aghast, at the idea of victimizing anyone else. This apparently hereditary gentlemanliness makes Oliver Twist something of a changeling tale, not just an indictment of social injustice. Oliver, born for better things, struggles to survive in the savage world of the underclass before finally being rescued by his family and returned to his proper place—a commodious country house.

In a recent film adaptation of the novel, Roman Polanski dispenses with the problem of Oliver's genteel origins by making him an anonymous orphan, like the rest of Fagin's gang.

Symbolism

Dickens makes considerable use of symbolism. The many symbols Oliver faces are primarily good versus evil, with evil continually trying to corrupt and exploit good, but good winning out in the end. The "merry old gentleman" Fagin, for example, has satanic characteristics: he is a veteran corrupter of young boys who presides over his own corner of the criminal world; he makes his first appearance standing over a fire holding a toasting-fork; and he refuses to pray on the night before his execution. The London slums, too, have a suffocating, infernal aspect; the dark deeds and dark passions are concretely characterised by dim rooms and pitch-black nights, while the governing mood of terror and brutality may be identified with uncommonly cold weather. In contrast, the countryside where the Maylies take Oliver is a pastoral heaven. The novel is also shot through with a related motif, obesity, which calls attention to the stark injustice of Oliver's world. When the half-starved child dares to ask for more, the men who punish him are fat. A remarkable number of the novel's characters are overweight.

Toward the end of the novel, the gaze of knowing eyes becomes a potent symbol. For years, Fagin avoids daylight, crowds, and open spaces, concealing himself most of the time in a dark lair. When his luck runs out at last, he squirms in the "living light" of too many eyes as he stands in the dock, awaiting sentence. Similarly, after Sikes kills Nancy, he flees into the countryside but is unable to escape the memory of her dead eyes. In addition, Charley Bates turns his back on crime when he sees the murderous cruelty of the man who has been held up to him as a model.

Characters

In the tradition of Restoration Comedy and Henry Fielding, Dickens fits his characters with appropriate names. Oliver himself, though "badged and ticketed" as a lowly orphan and named according to an alphabetical system, is, in fact, "all of a twist." Mr. Grimwig is so called because his seemingly "grim", pessimistic outlook is actually a protective cover for his kind, sentimental soul. Other character names mark their bearers as semi-monstrous caricatures. Mrs. Mann, who has charge of the infant Oliver, is not the most motherly of women; Mr. Bumble, despite his impressive sense of his own dignity, continually mangles the king's English he tries to use; and the Sowerberries are, of course, "sour berries", a reference to Mrs. Sowerberry's perpetual scowl, to Mr. Sowerberry's profession as an undertaker, and to the poor provender Oliver receives from them. Rose Maylie’s name echoes her association wit h flowers and springtime, youth and beauty, while Toby Crackit’s is a reference to his chosen profession of housebreaking.

Bill Sikes's dog, Bull's-eye, has "faults of temper in common with his owner" and is an emblem of his owner’s character. The dog’s viciousness represents Sikes’s animal-like brutality, while Sikes's self-destructiveness is evident in the dog's many scars. The dog, with its willingness to harm anyone on Sikes's whim, shows the mindless brutality of the master. Sikes himself senses that the dog is a reflection of himself and that is why he tries to drown the dog. He is really trying to run away from who he is. This is also illustrated when Sikes dies and the dog does immediately also. After Sikes murders Nancy, Bull’s-eye also comes to represent Sikes's guilt. The dog leaves bloody footprints on the floor of the room where the murder is committed. Not long after, Sikes becomes desperate to get rid of the dog, convinced

that the dog’s presence will give him away. Yet, just as Sikes cannot sh ake off his guilt, he cannot shake off Bull’s-eye, who arrives at the house of Sikes’s demise before Sikes himself does. Bull's-eye's name also conjures up the image of Nancy's eyes, which haunts Sikes until the bitter end and eventually causes him to hang himself accidentally.

Dickens employs polarised sets of characters to explore various dual themes throughout the novel; Mr. Brownlow and Fagin, for example, personify "good vs. evil". Dickens also juxtaposes honest, law-abiding characters such as Oliver himself with those who, like the Artful Dodger, seem more comfortable on the wrong side of the law. Crime and punishment is another important pair of themes, as is sin and redemption: Dickens describes criminal acts ranging from picking pockets to murder, and the characters are punished severely in the end. Most obviously, he shows Bill Sikes hounded to death by a mob for his brutal acts, and sends Fagin to cower in the condemned cell, sentenced to death by due process. Neither character achieves redemption; Sikes dies trying to run away from his guilt, and on his last night alive, the terrified Fagin refuses to see a rabbi or to pray, instead asking Oliver to help him escape. Nancy, by contrast, redeems herself at the cost of her own life, and dies in a prayerful pose.

Nancy is also one of the few characters in Oliver Twist to display much ambivalence. Although she is a full-fledged criminal, indoctrinated and trained by Fagin since childhood, she retains enough empathy to repent her role in Oliver's kidnapping, and to take steps to try to atone. As one of Fagin's victims, corrupted but not yet morally dead, she gives eloquent voice to the horrors of the old man's little criminal empire. She wants to save Oliver from a similar fate; at the same time, she recoils from the idea of turning traitor, especially to Bill Sikes, whom she loves. When he was later criticised for giving a "thieving, whoring slut of the streets" such an unaccountable reversal of character, Dickens ascribed her change of heart to "the last fair drop of water at the bottom of a dried-up, weed-choked well".

美国著名儿童文学作家作品简介

美国著名儿童文学作家作品简介 《神奇的故事》是根据民间故事和古希腊神话改写的童话集。 纳撒尼索·霍桑（1804～1864）是美国浪漫主义小说和心理小说的开创者。出生在新英格兰一个破落的贵族家庭，自幼受清教影响较深。大学毕业后，从1837年开始，他发表了几个短篇小说集。他的长篇小说《红字》（1850）是世界古典文学名著。《红字》是一个悲剧，霍桑写完后觉得很压抑，决定写一些欢快的作品，于是他写了四本儿童读物，其中两本就是后来很有名的《神奇的故事》和《福谷传奇》（1852）。 《哈克贝利·芬历险记》通过黑人吉姆和白人孩子哈克逃亡出走，在密西西比河上航行寻找自由州的故事，一方面描写两岸社会的不合理现象，另一方面歌颂两个主人公在逃亡过程中建立起来的友谊。 马克·吐温（Mark Twain，1835～1910），原名塞缪尔·朗荷思·克利门斯。生于地方法官家庭，他十二岁丧父，之后便过着独立的劳动生活，做过印刷所学徒、送报人、排字工、水手等，他还曾去西部找矿几年，结果空手而归。后来他当上了弗吉尼亚州《事业报》与旧金山市《晨报》的记者，开始用“马克·吐温”这一笔名发表通讯和幽默小品。这期间的重要作品有《竞选州长》（1870）、《百万英镑》（1870）等。七十年代初，马克·吐温定居康涅狄格州的哈特福。此后，他写了一系列长篇小说，其中重要的有《汤姆·索亚历险记》

（1876）、《哈克贝利·芬历险记》（1884）、《王子与贫儿》（1881）、《傻瓜威尔逊》（1893）等。《哈克贝利·芬历险记》可以说是他最优秀的作品。 《白兔和他的敌人》选自一部美国童话《里马斯大叔讲的故事》，里马斯大叔讲的故事中，主角是兔子老弟。他在大森林中经常受到狐狸、狼、狗熊等动物的欺负和追捕，他们甚至要置他于死地而后快。但是兔子老弟聪明伶俐，总是用种种巧妙办法脱身，而且反过来给他们吃苦头。 乔尔·哈里斯（1848～1908），生长在美国南方，少年时当过印刷工人，受到一位新闻界人士的器重，被允许到他的大庄园图书馆里借阅书籍。在那里，哈里斯读了大量英国古典文学名著，努力学习写作，终于自学成才，从事报刊编辑工作，撰写文章。美国南方农场有许多黑人雇工，哈里斯小时候就听过老黑人讲故事，后来他把听到的故事写下来，还塑造了一位讲故事的善良可亲的老黑人，取名里马斯大叔，并把他写的童话称为里马斯大叔讲的故事。这些童话从1878年起在报上连续发表，随后结集出版，轰动一时。四十年代美国动画片大师迪斯尼把这些童话改编成动画片，那位蹦蹦跳跳的兔子老弟更是读者喜爱的童话人物了。 《秘密花园》讲述了一个孤苦无依的小女孩，她在自己的叔叔家发现了一个被关闭了多年的秘密花园，并因此重新找到了友谊和生活的乐趣，最后，她还帮助自己病卧在床的表兄站立了起来，恢复了继续生活的勇气。

作者及作品中文简介

作者简介 亨利·菲尔丁（Henry Fielding,1707-1754) 英国第一个伟大的小说家，英国小说得以定型的奠基人。是十八世纪英国四大现实主义作家之一,也是十八世纪欧洲最杰出的现实主义小说家之一。 菲尔丁出生于英国西南部格拉斯顿伯里附近的一个贵族家庭。父亲是上校军官，母亲是一位大法官的女儿。少年时代的菲尔丁过着富裕的生活，幼年受教于一个牧师，随后在伊顿公学接受中等教育。在16岁以前，他已经精通了希腊文和拉丁文，读了许多古典名著。1728年即21岁时，他赴荷兰的莱顿大学学习语言，兼攻法律。由于父亲再娶，资助中断，他在莱顿大学只念了一年就不得不退学。 1729年菲尔丁回到英国，他没有走同阶层的其他青年所走的道路－－寻找有声望的保护者，而是决定自力更生。早在他刚满20岁的时候，他的处女作－－五幕喜剧《带着各种假面具的爱情》就在伦敦上演了，一共演了28场。所以，他毅然选择了写剧本开始自己的职业生涯。由于他才学渊博、谈吐幽默，立即受到文艺界的欢迎，很快正式踏上伦敦剧坛。 刚开始，他翻译改编了莫里哀的喜剧《屈打成医》和《吝啬鬼》，接着就写出了比较成功的喜剧《生气的丈夫》和《法律公子》，从此与舞台建立了亲密的关系，成为职业剧作家。从1730年到1737年，他共写了25部剧本。这些剧本谴责贵族阶级的道德腐化，揭露英国政府的贪污腐败，艺术上广泛地吸收了民间戏剧的手法，把诙谐怪诞的成份与现实生活中的重大政治问题杂糅在一起，创造了社会政治喜剧这一体裁，因此锋芒毕露。伦敦剧院的老板们怕开罪权势集团，拒绝上演菲尔丁的戏剧。于是，菲尔丁和一个朋友合伙买下一个剧团，亲自主持小剧场戏剧。他的社会和政治喜剧触怒了当权的辉格党的首领。1737年，英国首相沃波尔爵士在议会通过了反民主的“戏剧检查法”，要求一切剧本上演14天送审，违者罚款并吊销执照。后来，为了进一步镇压，又实行了“扰乱治安法”，使伦敦的市民不敢去看菲尔丁剧团的演出。菲尔丁的剧院不得不关闭，他的戏剧生涯也就被迫结束了。 同年，菲尔丁在他31岁的时候改学法律，仅用了三年的时间就完成了七年的课程，于1740年取得律师资格，并曾在伦敦威斯敏斯特区任法官，又于1748年担任伦敦警察厅长，训练了最早的一批侦察犯罪活动的侦探警察。菲尔丁是个绝对正直的人，这种职业经历使他加深了对社会的认识，为创作积累了广泛的素材。 同时，菲尔丁还于1739至1741年主编《不列颠信使》（又名《战士》）杂志，发表了大量的杂文、书简和特写，成为他日后小说写作的准备阶段。
