Oliver Twist Character Analysis
A stranger at the door
Oliver Twist is a poor orphan living in London. One evening, the young pickpocket Artful Dodger brings Oliver to a room where Fagin keeps stolen goods. A broad-shouldered man called Bill Sikes is there too. This passage is a newly written retelling of the scene. Bill Sikes pushed through the doorway without greeting anyone. His coat was stained, and a frayed scarf hung loosely at his neck. He wiped his mouth with the scarf and glared at the room through one dark, bruised-looking eye. A small dog crept close to his boots. Sikes stamped once; the dog darted away. “Keep out of my way,” he growled. His voice was low and rough. Oliver stepped back, clutching his cap. Sikes noticed the boy but showed no surprise or kindness. He tossed a bundle onto the table, then turned his cold stare towards Fagin. Even Fagin, who usually seemed pleased to see visitors, watched Sikes carefully before speaking.
