The failure of social institutions leads to suffering from "summary" of Oliver Twist by Madhubun
In the streets of London, a young orphan named Oliver Twist embodies the struggles faced by the most vulnerable. The world around him is rife with neglect, where the institutions meant to provide shelter and care fail him at every turn. The workhouse, intended as a refuge, instead becomes a place of cruelty, where basic humanity is stripped away. Children suffer from hunger and abuse, their cries unheard amidst the mechanical indifference of a system that prioritizes order over compassion.
As Oliver navigates the treacherous landscape of poverty, the inadequacies of the legal and social frameworks become glaringly apparent. Law enforcement, rather than serving as protectors, often perpetuates the cycle of despair. Characters like Fagin and Sykes represent the dark underbelly of society, where desperation breeds crime. They exploit the weaknesses of those cast aside, illustrating how the absence of support leads individuals to moral degradation in their fight for survival.
Friendship and kinship emerge as rare beacons of hope against this grim backdrop. Yet, even these bonds are tested and often shattered by the relentless grip of societal failure. The kindness of characters like Mr. Brownlow and Nancy shine through, yet they are the exceptions in a world dominated by selfishness and greed. The interplay of innocence and corruption serves as a poignant reminder that without a nurturing environment, the spirit of even the purest souls can be crushed.
The relentless suffering experienced by Oliver and his peers echoes a broader commentary on the human condition, revealing a society that has lost its way. In this harsh reality, the absence of care and humanity leaves a profound mark, resonating deeply within the hearts of those who dare to hope for a kinder world.
