When 9-year-old orphan Oliver Twist dares to ask his cruel taskmaster, Mr. Bumble, for a second serving of gruel, he's hired out as an apprentice. Escaping that dismal fate, young Oliver falls in with the street urchin known as the Artful Dodger and his criminal mentor, Fagin. When kindly Mr. Brownlow takes Oliver in, Fagin's evil henchman Bill Sikes plots to kidnap the boy.
Editor's Verdict
"Oliver Twist, based on the provided plot summary and standard knowledge of the story, is a Victorian-era drama centered on poverty, crime, and orphanhood. There is no indication that the narrative is set during the Christmas season or that Christmas plays any structural or thematic role in the plot."
