An orphan born in England with an optimistic personality. Despite all the torture and bullying, he has always maintained his innocence. After fighting against the almshouse and coffin shop representing the dark and evil forces, he wandered to the foggy London. In London, he was forced into the streets by Fagin to steal. After that, he got the help of rich man Brownlow. The novel describes the struggle between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, justice and evil, praises the integrity and kindness of people's nature, and exposes and criticizes the hypocrisy of British charities and the tyranny of the police at that time. At the same time, the work has a strong romantic sentiment and is full of humanitarian feelings. Dickens ruthlessly exposed and lashed out the darkness and hypocrisy of capitalist society in his novels. In 1838 and 1839, he published Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nicole, describing the miserable lives of poor children in capitalist society, and exposing the darkness of poor almshouses and schooling. Dickens is one of the greatest British novelists, an outstanding representative of British realism literature, and has a huge influence on world literature.
