Fatum in the ancient drama is a foregone conclusion of events. What can be said about the fate of Oliver Twist, a boy with an amazing fate. Was he destined to suffer such a hard fate?

Oliver's mother dies after childbirth, barely having time to throw a gentle look at her son. About his parents Oliver knows nothing, he is an orphan in a soulless world. The workhouse, where there was a little orphan according to the author's descriptions is more like a prison. The question arises. Was there a chance in those days the child to live a normal full life, if life began as described by the author. Or is it that being an orphan in a bourgeois capitalist society means not having any hope for a bright future? Oliver doesn't. He falls into the apprentice to the undertaker, where he suffers constant humiliation and ridicule, sleeping in the Studio with coffins.

Oliver Twist is a surprisingly kind, pure, sincere, decent boy. All the time the reader is haunted by the idea. What for was given to the child such a fate?
