Oliver Twist: Runaway orphan (main character)
Oliver is born in a workhouse where he is mistreated by Bumble, the beadle (Quote: 'Please, sir, I want some more'). He is apprenticed to Sowerberry, the undertaker, and runs away to London where he falls in with Fagin and his band of pickpockets. Oliver is charged with theft, actually committed by the Artful Dodger, and later cleared. The object of the theft, Mr. Brownlow, takes Oliver into his home. He is recaptured by Nancy and returned to Fagin's band. Nancy later tries to help Oliver and is murdered. At the end of the story of Oliver's real parentage is revealed. http://www.fidnet.com/~dap1955/dickens/char_t-z.html#twist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Twist_(character) His last name “Twist,” though given by accident, alludes to the reversals of fortune that he will experience. Oliver’s face is also singled out for special attention at multiple points in the story. Mr. Sowerberry, comments on its particular appeal, and his resemblance to the portrait of Mr. Brownlow’s niece provides the first clue (foreshadowing) to Oliver’s true identity.

09a. Inner messages within the story (ex: morals, ethics, etc.) and explain the message you think the author of the movie (or story) is trying to convey:
This story deals with child abuse http://www.workhouses.org.uk/, non-existent child labor laws http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/olivertwist/ei_downandout.html ( Dickens targets the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 which stipulated that the poor could only receive government assistance if they moved into government workhouses. So basically they established the rule that all poor people should have the alternative of being starved by a gradual process in the house, or by a quick one out of it.), conditions of the poor versus the rich (and the importance education plays in this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/6169731/Poverty-is-not-the-only-thing-poor-children-suffer-from.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/olivertwist/ei_downandout.html, spousal abuse, women treated as second class citizens (”the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction”), murder, greed, and dishonesty. Oliver Twist is full of thievery. Some of it is committed by criminals like Sikes against respectable people, while some of it is committed by “respectable” people like Mr. Bumble against the poor.
