Oliver Twist Analysis Worksheet
A boy asks for more
In a crowded workhouse, Oliver and the other boys receive very little food. One evening, the boys decide that someone must ask for another serving. They choose Oliver, who is small and quiet. After supper, he steps towards the master with his bowl held out. “Please, sir, I want some more,” he says. The master stares at him in shock, as though Oliver has broken a serious rule. The adults treat the request as a threat rather than a sign of hunger. Oliver is sent away from the workhouse and eventually taken in by a man called Fagin. At first, Fagin seems welcoming: he offers Oliver food and a place to stay. But Fagin has a plan. He teaches children to steal from people in the street and expects them to bring him what they take. Oliver does not understand this at first. When he realises what is happening, he is frightened and tries to do what is right: he refuses to steal for Fagin. Through Oliver’s experiences, the story exposes the cruelty faced by poor children in Victorian London. Dickens invites readers to question a society that punishes a hungry child while allowing adults to exploit children for profit.
