Childhood innocence is often exploited by society from "summary" of Oliver Twist by Madhubun
The plight of young Oliver Twist serves as a poignant illustration of how society often takes advantage of the vulnerable. From the moment he utters his first words, begging for more, the world around him reveals its harshness. An orphan, Oliver is thrust into an environment where the innocence of youth is met with greed and exploitation. In the workhouse, he faces indifference and cruelty, where the staff sees him not as a child deserving love and care, but as a mere burden. The contrast between Oliver’s inherent goodness and the cold-heartedness of the adults around him highlights a grim reality. Each encounter with figures of authority, such as Mr. Bumble, exposes the darker motivations that drive those in power. The pursuit of profit and the perpetuation of a system that thrives on misery strip away the purity of childhood.
As Oliver finds himself entangled with a gang of juvenile criminals led by the cunning Fagin, the innocence of youth is further eroded. Here, his naivety is exploited, forcing him into a life of crime. Fagin embodies the corrupting influence of society, manipulating the boys to serve his own interests. The notion of family, which should provide safety and love, is perverted into a means of control and subjugation.
Each character Oliver encounters reflects the broader societal issues of exploitation and neglect. The orphaned boy's journey reveals a world where innocence is not cherished, but rather a commodity to be used and discarded. The narrative invites readers to consider the consequences of a society that fails to protect its most vulnerable members, leaving them to navigate a treacherous landscape alone.
