This article analyzes the theme of childhood in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist. Dickens' work profoundly shows the problems of children in nineteenth-century England, social injustice and the importance of hope and friendship in them. The article analyzes the social environment, child labor and the life of orphaned children, as well as Oliver's psychological development described in the novel.
The research uses the literary context of the work, statistical data and research methods of modern social problems. The article raises questions about how Dickens covered difficult childhood cases and how these cases persist in modern society. As a result, the article will contribute to a deep understanding of the problems associated with children and their social conditions, and work on these problems in the future.
