Write about the fate of Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens in his works reveals the problem of the condition of poor people in Victorian England. In the story of Oliver Twist, Dickens described the humiliating state of the English people, forced to engage in illegal affairs to simply survive in that cruel world.

The hero of the novel, who grew up in a workhouse, in one of the most unjust state institutions of the time, some called this place a "Bastille for the poor", but unlike the famous prison, it was not criminals who were placed in the workhouse, but simply people who couldn’t feed oneself, any appeal for help to society, meant punishment.

On the one hand, Oliver falls into the hands of the underworld; a gang of thieves, led by the head of the London thieves Fagin, is engaged in his upbringing. Fagin, this is an old buyer of stolen things, he had a decisive word in the gang, also in the gang were: robber Bill, street girl Nancy, as well as a certain gentleman named Monks. The criminals wanted to persuade Oliver to a vicious lifestyle, but thanks to the honesty of the boy, and the help of good people, they did not succeed.

On the other hand, on the way to Oliver, there are also good people, for example, a kind-hearted man, Mr. Brownlow, a girl named Rose, Mrs. Maily and even street girl Nancy, despite her occupation, turned out to be a pretty good girl, though she had to pay for it with her life.

From my point of view, Dickens endowed his heroes with ideal qualities, Brownlow, a kind and completely disinterested person, and Oliver, even though he grew up in an atmosphere of rudeness and cruelty, was a kind, honest and truthful boy.

In conclusion, in this novel, justice triumphed, all the villains got what they deserved, Oliver himself found relatives and received an inheritance, and Mr. Brownlow found his son. The novel raises issues of social inequality of classes and injustice towards minors in workhouses. This Dickens novel revealed to us the cruel atmosphere of England of the 19th century.
