Features: The author reveals the horror and violence hidden in the narrow, dirty, and secluded streets of London. As a result, he wrote about the evil Fagin, the brutal Bill Sikes, and a whole host of thieves and robbers. These people lied, cheated, stole, feared going to prison, feared the hangman putting the noose around their necks, and lived in constant anxiety. Little Oliver Twist—an orphan, was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime, starving, beaten, and cursed, and never loved by anyone. He wrote about Nancy—poor, miserable, and sorrowful Nancy, who struggled to remain faithful to the people she loved in a cruel world.
