The tragic story of the orphan boy Oliver Twist, written by Charles Dickens, once shocked the society of well-off residents in England. Cruelty, hypocrisy, malice, and greed of some characters are confronted by the kindness, loyalty, honesty, compassion, and love of others. And, as in almost all of Dickens’s books, good people turn out to be stronger than evil, and mercy defeats it. The little hero finds true friends and a home. Perhaps this story with a happy ending will inspire not only tenderness, but also a thought about how often we ourselves help those who need support—how good and responsive we are. The novel “Оlіvеr Twіst” was written by Dickens in 1838 and has been adapted for film many times!
