My opinion on the movie oliver twist

Ms Austen previously caused heart-palpitations and a slew of gasms with Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility which left me spent like a cheap nickel.

I must admit to being a bit of a Dickens fan, and I love the way that he produces vast novels populated by such memorable characters.

The story of the archetypal Dickensian orphan who manages to survive the evil plots of others to enjoy the place in society that he deserves is one that everybody can relate to, and it is My own personal reaction to this Dickensian classic is that I really liked it. The story of the archetypal Dickensian orphan who manages to survive the evil plots of others to enjoy the place in society that he deserves is one that everybody can relate to, and it is certainly a gripping narrative as we fear Oliver will be hung or captured or killed at various stages in the narrative.

Having said that I like it, at the same time however it is not the best Dickens novel by a long stretch. When we think more closely about the story, there are a number of problems with it, in my opinion, or aspects that make it less challenging than a work like Great Expectations.

Oliver Twist THE BOOK is crap and has NO songs in it, I couldn't believe it. So I googled and get this, it turns out they put those in the movie and Dickens had nothing to do with it! But since they were the best bit of the film, you can understand my horror and bereft sense of disappointment when I finally came to pick up the book/5. In my opinion, the novel is very entertaining and it makes you want to read more. I liked the fact that Fagin and Sikes tried to change Oliver, but he continued to be an innocent good boy. A very poignant novel, Oliver Twist certainly points to the cruelty that existed in Victorian England. It is certainly not as great a work as others of Dickens as are Bleak House, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations; however, the character of Fagin remains one of the classic prototypes.

Firstly, I would argue that the very goodness of Oliver is problematic, as he remains innocent and angel-like in his goodness throughout the entire novel, no matter what is done to him.

The best example of this is of course when he pleads with Fagan to repent before his death at the end of the novel. This seems to me to be rather unrealistic.

Secondly, based on this first point, all of the characters with the exception of Nancy are either good or bad. Nancy is the only character that is presented as occuping a space in the middle of these two extremes.

Again, this points to a rather simplistic view of characters, as in reality we all have good and bad elements. Apart from this quibbles, however, this novel is an excellent story that has become a classic.Archives and past articles from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and benjaminpohle.com Plugged In helps college student stand-up for his belief "Thanks for the great job you do in posting movie and television reviews online.
