Main Idea

how the poorest people in society were treated the worst. This is one of the key themes in Oliver Twist, where we can see the failure of the workhouse system that was unable to look after the poor and lonely orphans that were in their care.

my opinion

In my opinion, the novel is very entertaining and makes you want to read more, I liked the fact that Fagin and Sykes tried to change Oliver, but he continued to be a good innocent boy.
