Oliver Twist original notes

"Oliver Twist" is a work by the British novelist Charles Dickens in the Victorian era. The development of capitalism made Britain a world superpower. But beneath the prosperity lies poverty and misfortune. This prosperity was nurtured in dangerous and dirty factories and coal mines. Class conflicts became more and more obvious, and finally broke out one after another from 1836 to mid-1848. At the end of the 19th century, the British Empire's national power gradually declined. As a product of an era, literature has become increasingly diverse, and many great writers have appeared in that era. "Oliver Twist" was written when the Poor Law was passed. The UK is undergoing a transformation from an agricultural and rural economy to an urban and industrial nation. The Poor Law allowed the poor to rely on public assistance but required them to perform necessary labor. To prevent the poor from relying on public assistance, forcing them to endure unimaginable pain. Because poorhouse relief was so disreputable, many poor people would rather die than seek public assistance. The Poor Law did not improve the living standards of the poor class, but punished the most helpless and helpless lower classes.
