Oliver Twist byCharles Dickens-1-

The Incorruptibility of Natural Goodne

——On The Characters of Oliver and Nancy in Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens provides insight into the experience of the poor in 1830s England.Beneath the novel’s raucous humor and flights of fancy runs an undertone of bitter criticism of the Victorian middle cla's attitudes toward the poor.Oliver Twist is the leading character who is the victim of the hypocrisy and venality of capitalism and fallen Charitable Institution of 1830s England.There are different opinions among people as to whether human beings are born with goodne or the opposite, sin.According to Charles Dickens, man is born an angel and what's more, natural goodne is incorruptible.The Characters of Oliver and Nancy in Oliver Twist are typical examples.First of all, Oliver Twist is incorruptible although trapped in the terrible circumstances.On the one hand, what he did could account for this tip.Oliver is an orphan living in a hypocritical workhouse from his birth.Because he can’t stand the terrible conditions in the workhouse, he escapes to London where he is trapped by Fagin who tries and teaches him to be a thief.Though treated with cruelty and surrounded by filthine, he is still innocent and gentle.On the other hand, unlike those juvenile delinquents who talk with broken English, Oliver speaks Standard English without being polluted by the coarse surroundings.The character Nancy is another typical example.“Remarkably free and agreeable”, she is quite contradictory.Nancy is a fallen woman, to be specific, she is a prostitute.At first, when she helps Fagin and recaptures Oliver, I hold the opinion that she and those thieves are birds of a feather.But later I found I was too hasty about rushing to such a conclusion.After Nancy overhears Monks' telling Fagin his plans to destroy Oliver, she gives the secret away to Rose at the cost of her own life.In this novel, her final decision to protect Oliver reminds me of an old saying in ancient China by Mencius: human nature is good, so everyone has compaion and everyone can be emperor Yao and Shun.But how to explain that there are someone “evil”, such as Fagin and Monks who tries to kill Oliver and get a large sum of heritage compared with Oliver and Nancy who are born with incorruptible goodne? To this point, the author Charles Dickens has been criticized by many readers.I have researched many materials of Dickens's opinion about man is born with incorruptible goodne or not.To my surprise, he claimed that a corrupt environment is the source of vice.But in this novel, I find that although surrounded by evil circumstances, Oliver is compaionate and innocent all the time.So obviously, Oliver's incorruptibility undermines some of Dickens's argumentation.Oliver Twist byCharles Dickens-2-

From my point of view, goodne is a relative concept.A person who is kind and good to his relatives may seem evil from others' prospects.Because until now we have not enough stuff to support all of the people in the world.The law of survival of the fittest in natural selection and the unfairne in social system account for the “wickedne”.This also can explain the reason why some crimes seem understandable.Who is supposed to be responsible for the strange phenomenon? In Oliver Twist, the hypocritical capitalism and fallen Charitable Institution are the answers.Apart from the controversy, still I have learned much from the two characters, the main two points can be listed as follows:

For one thing, we should believe in the goodne of human beings and depreion can be conquered by love and hope.The same idea can date back to the forefathers at home and abroad: the Three Character Primer begins with the claic sentence :People are born good（人之初，性本善).Greek Philosopher Socrates also claimed the same.At this point, I find myself in complete agreement with the author.I believe this is the very reason why there are so many people who would like to help others disregarding repayment.For instance, the moment people of Yushu was in trouble for the earthquake, thousands of kind people all over the world would like to lend a helping hand voluntarily.For another, the effect of the environment is not that irresistible.We should think twice before arriving at the conclusion: he that lies down with dogs must rise up with flea.To be specific, it is not sensible to turn someone away just because he was born in coarse environment.Just like the Song Zhou's the article praises the Lotus as the gentlemen's flowers, which share the same feature with both Oliver and Nancy, and that is growing up from the filthy mud without being polluted(出淤泥而不染).
