6、rmonious society need is pure thoughts and good quality.Almost of us would like to believe that world is beautiful and tomorrow is better.However,we have to admit that there is weakness in human nature and no one could be perfect.As an old saying goes,where there is sunshine,there is also shade.Past

9、 the strength of purity and conscience.2.Previous Studies on Oliver Twister In1838, As soon as Oliver Twister was published, the novel had aroused attention and strong shock in the London literature.Many scholars and writers are very interested in Oliver Twister and there are lots of research about
10、this novel in the world.Different scholars have different studies on Oliver Twister according to their respective standard of classification and they have different research directions. 2.1.Foreign ResearchOliver Twister has been researched abroad for a long history. In the research field of Victori
11、a culture,Dickens is the main research object.The foreign scholar Gilbert Keith Chesterton published a collected works named Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens in 1991.Generally,most people think that Dickens has many classical works which has great effect on the whole soci
12、ety and he should be a person who is praised.However,Chesterton has his own different and distinct idea,about Dickens,that the great people Dickens also should be criticized. Dickens plots have often been dismissed as conventional or cheaply sensational.But in Parentage and Inheritance in the Novels
13、 of Charles Dickens, released by Anny Sadrin,he argues that they should rather be seen as the embodiment of one of Dickenss central preoccupation: dramatised rituals of succession.Through readings of individual texts, Professor Sadrin shows how the simple pattern of quest for father which characteri
14、ses Oliver Twister develops in Dickenss later novels into an extended exploration of the triple inheritance of appearance, name and property. Increasing intricacies of plot represent growing tension between conflicting forces in the parent-child relationship: the wish to belongings and the wish to f
15、ree, the quest for identity and the fear of shameful identification,Throughout, Dickens is using plot to account for the complex process of reinstatement and revaluation which enables rightful heirs to take their rightful place in the family and society.It is obvious that a unique perspective was ad
16、opted by Anny Sadrin to find the new things. In the first half of his career, Dickens wrote some of the most important novels of the nineteenth century, including The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twister, and Martin Chuzzlewit.They were valuable and vital books, with an inventive comic force unprecedente
17、d in the English novel. Other Dickens:Pickwick to Chuzzlewit worked by John Bowen in 2003,it is the first full-length study in his research for thirty years. John Bowen blends contemporary theories and historical awareness to argue that Dickenss works are radical in both political and fictional term
18、s.With a tactful use of contemporary critical theory, he shows how their often uncanny power disturbs and transforms our ways of understanding Dickenss work and his place during the studies. In 2001,Manliness and the Male Novelist in Victorian Literature was published by Andrew Dowling.Dowling tried
19、 to investigate that Dickens managed to create the spirits of Manliness.It is obvious that people in that period was very familiar with the manliness,but Dowling figured that this kind of notion is not constant but rocking and nothing is absolute. As it is mentioned above,the range of studies on Oli

24、ong boy who has never been knocked down and the strong vitality was always there.An Analysis of Nancy in Oliver Twister was written by Liu Jingxiang in South-Central University for Nationalities.The writer began with the definition of critical realism and Dickenss life,then focused on a series of ac
25、tions from Nancy to analyze her character and factors.No matter how cruel the surrounding is,goodness will never be eliminated .He wanted to call for the nature of goodness and criticize the education system in England.The analysis of Nancy can not only cause readers to sympathize with this woman wh
