He somehow seems to think that they made handkerchiefs and went to an execution. “The Jew” has also been introduced. I found out that his name is Fagin. Oliver definitely didn’t know that they were thieves. Cause when he sees them steal, he is so shocked that he runs away and gets falsely accused of being the thief. :( His innocence is so sad and cute.

The authors both use the motif of false identities, that are imposed by other characters upon the protagonist, to display how inferior individuals are misunderstood. Dickens displays the motif of false identities through the change of clothes of the protagonist. It was almost immediately after his birth when Oliver was left alone on the streets to survive. Since he had no immediate family to guide him during his childhood as to whom he is as an individual, his identity was chosen for him by an outsider. His rank in society was chosen when Oliver was:

When Oliver was a child she had two things she loved to participate in: going outside and writing. In this quote, Oliver is saying that participating in activities like going out into a field, and reading a book can help anyone. When Oliver was a child she would do those activities, being outside helped inspire her writing. This led to her traveling into random parts of forest and fields.

Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist is saturated with the evil of men (and women) who seek to destroy the purest of things—the innocence of a child. The majority of the characters in this novel are driven by greed, power (over the less fortunate) and pure evil—non-more so than Mister Bumble, the cruel, pompous old beadle of the poorhouse where Oliver is raised, and Fagin, a “loathsome reptile” of a man. While each of these men will succumb to some level of depravity, as will the other characters, young Oliver Twist does not. Against all odds, Oliver is the only one who remains untainted by the evil that surrounds him all times. Despite the heartbreaking revelation of his parents’ demise, dealing with the loss of them both, the ill treatment he receives on a daily basis, existing in a world completely void of light and permeating with corruption, Oliver never adopts the pervasive nature of those around him. The infestation, which eventually consumes all those around him, is something that Oliver Twist was able to avoid due to his purity of self.

But after spending 2 years in the circus, I realized it was because of Oliver. It was always because of Oliver. I stole that candy bar because Oliver said he was hungry.
