Oliver Twist

On his ninth birthday, young Oliver Twist finds himself forcibly taken to a workhouse in an English town. It is here that he and other orphans suffer harsh treatment and endure extreme hunger.

In a desperate act driven by hunger, Oliver is chosen by lottery to request more food during a mealtime. This bold request leads to severe chastisement from the workhouse officials, resulting in a decision to remove him from their midst.

After escaping from the workhouse, Oliver is sent to live with Mr. Sowerberry, a coffin-maker. He soon realizes that both Sowerberry's wife and the apprentice Noah treat him poorly.

Feeling overwhelmed by the mistreatment at Mr. Sowerberry's, Oliver retaliates against Noah. Fearful of further abuse, he decides to escape and seek a better life.

With a strong determination to find freedom, Oliver embarks on a grueling 70-mile trek to London. Exhausted and starving, he eventually collapses, prompting a kind old woman to offer him food and shelter.

After successfully reaching London, Oliver encounters Jack Dawkins, known as 'The Artful Dodger'. He is introduced to Dodger's home on Saffron Hill, where a group of young pickpockets operates under the guidance of the cunning Fagin.

During his initiation into the pickpocket gang, Oliver gets framed for a theft he didn't commit when two boys steal a man's handkerchief. Thankfully, an eyewitness comes to his defense, exonerating him in court.

After being exonerated, the wealthy Mr. Brownlow takes an interest in Oliver and provides him with new clothes, promising a future full of education and security. This marks a significant turning point in Oliver's life.

While running an errand for Mr. Brownlow, Oliver is captured by Bill Sikes, a sinister associate of Fagin. Joined by Nancy, a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, they plan to use Oliver for their criminal activities.

During a burglary at Mr. Brownlow's home, chaos ensues and Oliver gets injured in the process. In a desperate attempt to silence him, Sikes unintentionally falls into a river while trying to flee.

Feeling maternal towards Oliver, Nancy meets with Mr. Brownlow to warn him about Oliver's perilous situation. Her good intentions, however, are overheard by The Artful Dodger, who informs Sikes of her betrayal.

In a fit of rage over Nancy's perceived betrayal, Bill Sikes brutally murders her. This shocking act reverberates through the gang and sets the stage for further conflict and tragedy.

As the law closes in, Sikes attempts to use Oliver as a shield during a confrontation with the authorities. In his struggle to escape, he loses his footing and accidentally hangs himself in a tragic turn of events.

After surviving the harrowing events, Oliver finds solace in a new life with Mr. Brownlow. This marks the beginning of a hopeful new chapter as Fagin winds up facing justice for his crimes.

In a poignant moment, Oliver chooses to visit Fagin in prison, acknowledging the complex bond they formed despite Fagin's criminal life. This encounter reflects Oliver's compassion and understanding of redemption.
