With all of the symbolism and moral issues represented in Oliver Twist, all seem to come from real events from the life of its author, Charles Dickens. The novels protagonist, Oliver, is a good person at heart surrounded by the filth of the London streets. ... But through morals and mere chance Oliver becomes a living symbol. Itıs probable that the reason Oliver Twist contains so much fear and agony is because itıs a reflection of occurrences in Charles Dickens past. ... While at the orphanage, Oliver experienced a great amount of abuse. For example, while suffering from starvation and malnutrition for a long period of time, Oliver was chosen by the other boys at the orphanage to request more gruel at dinner one night. ... The whole beginning of Oliver Twists story was created from memories which related to Charles Dickens childhood in a blacking factory (which was overshadowed by the Marshalsea Prison ). ... ² (Bloom 231) Most of Oliver Twist, for example, takes place in Londons lowest slums. ... All Oliver really longed for was ³to escape from harsh living conditions and evil surroundings which he had grown up in.² (Walder 299) However, no matter how tempting the evil may have been, Oliver stood by his beliefs.
