Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to learn about Oliver Twist's struggles. This research is qualitative, in which the data are in the form of words rather than numbers. The data were collected from the novel, with Oliver Twist as the primary source, and other books that were relevant to this topic. The result shows Oliver was suffering, but he never gave up; instead, he ran away and looked up a lover in London. in his struggle for survival. Oliver shows his hard work in the orphanage and tries hard to break the rule or regulation. Oliver Twist is the first person to speak out against orphan mistreatment in the infant farm, where orphans would go for several nights without food. Oliver is very brave and never afraid of anyone, even though he is still a child. Never think that the world is full of bad people; good people are all around; they embellish good thoughts, nurture fine souls, and welcome you with an open heart. Their positive personality traits have a great impact on lives, and their influences are far stronger and more everlasting. When Mr. Brownlow resolves to save innocent Oliver Twist, nothing can stop him from rescuing the boy. It is also because of Oliver’s pure and good heart.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study is to analyse paratextual elements in Croatian (re)translations of Charles Dickens’ classic social novel Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy’s Progress (1837–1839). We will explore the level of paratextual (in)visibility of translators in the (re)translations of Oliver Twist and observe how their (in)visibility might affect the reading and interpretation of the novel. The fact that Oliver Twist has been on the reading lists for Croatian primary schoolers ever since the early 1950s may account for the intense interest in the novel on the part of Croatian publishers. The first edition of Oliver Twist into Croatian appeared in 1901 and, since then, three (re) translations have been published, as well as a large number of reprints. The findings aim to contribute to a better understanding of Croatian translation history, shedding light on different approaches to translating children’s literature and the effects such translation practices may have had on the expectations of the target readership.

Full text

Abstract:

As the focus in this article is mainly on Dickens’s descriptions of the gentleman of birth in Oliver Twist, selected extracts from the novel as well as critics’ opinions will help us analyze the gentlemanly attitudes of the main characters connected to their noble origin and gentle manners. While Oliver opens his eyes in poor conditions, he always feels that he has noble blood. Dickens believes that manners not social status make people true gentlemen yet, he mixes the ‘noble origin’ issue in his novel Oliver Twist, probably as a result of the Victorian people’s perception of ‘gentility’ which was very close to the concept of ‘nobility’. Since Dickens added the flavor of ‘noble’ birth, his naïve nature as well as his perceptions – the way how he interprets people’s behavior and things which happen around him and which construct his identity, his pure heart and his fate (reference to his belief and sincere praying) remarkably influence the positive changes in his life time. Dickens’s little hero, Oliver Twist, while naturally appreciating goodness, is disgusted by immoral things like ‘stealing,’ which was unfortunately happening around. What are the main factors that shape his kind, noble and naïve character? Is it ‘nature’ or ‘nurture’? What could be the major reasons for Nancy, Rose and Mr. Brownlow to give their assistance to Oliver? Whose –Mr. Brownlow’s or Fagin’s– teachings or influences are welcomed by Oliver? The answers to these questions will eventually illustrate how gentlemanly manners are inherited or acquired by Oliver.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to investigate the use of humour in revealing the idea of corruption in Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist. Corruption was a huge problem in London in the 1830s when Dickens was writing. Oliver Twist was one of his best novels that portrayed how corruption lived. Through this novel, he also wanted to show how social and cultural at that time created corrupt behavior in the society. The art of humour created by Dickens is an interesting strategy to deliver the message of corruption. By understanding the art of humour that consists of idiomatic expression, social and cultural context, would help the translator to capture a distinctive creative process that incorporates the linguistic structures and cultural environment of the target language while at the same time remaining as faithful as possible to the original.

Abstract:

WHEN SIKES AND NANCY RECAPTURE OLIVER, in Dickens'sOliver Twist, intending to return him to the gang of thieves, Sikes warns Oliver against crying out to passersby, announcing that his dog will go for Oliver's throat if he so much as speaks one word. Looking at the dog, who is eyeing Oliver and growling and licking his lips, “with a kind of grim and ferocious approval,” Sikes tells Oliver, “He's as willing as a Christian, strike me blind if he isn't!” (109; ch. 16). Sikes of course simply intends to say that his dog is as good as human, but Dickens's joke, in the context of the novel, is a chilling one. Sikes's bloodthirsty dogisas willing as the novel has shown many a professed Christian to be to exercise brute power over the weak and helpless, to drive Oliver into a life of crime, and to commit physical violence against him. In the course of the novel, Dickens shows what professed Christians have been willing to do to the poor and invites his readers to contemplate what they as Christians should instead be willing to do.Oliver Twistis of course deeply concerned with the condition of England's poor, and Dickens invokes the idea of Christianity as a rhetorical tool through which to make the social commentary that is at the novel's moral center.

Abstract:

This paper describes the types of irony used by Charles Dickens in his notable early work, Oliver Twist, as well as the reasons the irony was chosen. As a figurative language, irony is utilized to express one’s complex feelings without truly saying them. In Oliver Twist, Dickens brought the readers some real social issues wrapped in dark, deep written expressions of irony uttered by the characters of his novel. Undoubtedly, the novel had left an impact to the British society at the time. The irony Dickens displayed here includes verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. His choice of irony made sense as he intended to criticize the English Poor Laws and to touch the public sentiment. He wanted to let the readers go beyond what was literally written and once they discovered what the truth was, they would eventually understand Dickens’ purposes.

Abstract:

Abstract This article sheds light upon subtitling as the audiovisual translation (AVT) mode applied to three subtitled versions of Oliver Twist. The comparison takes place within the subtitling context of two officially sanctioned versions (i.e., the musical and the film) and the non-professional and transcreated versions released on social media platforms. Research has been carried out within audiovisual translation studies with the scope of verifying issues relating to the translation of characters’ names (appellation), religious terminology, and songs, which are subject to changes and innovative transformations when transcreated. There is an increasingly high demand for viewer-generated participation in the translation of audiovisual productions as opposed to traditional passive viewing experiences (Di Giovanni and Gambier 2018, vii–viii). The significant rise of user-oriented modes of translation released on popular video-sharing platforms has not been systematically researched. Attention is primarily paid to the Chinese subtitles produced for Oliver Twist’s most recent film adaption directed by Polanski (2005). These subtitles reinterpret and redirect the product’s cultural and temporal specificities and complexities to reinforce Chinese cultural heritage (Liang 2020, 26). A particular role is played by transcreation in subtitling as a translation method that is able to embrace the richness of Oliver Twist in its various adapted forms: theatre, cinema, and social media platforms. Drawing upon the concept of abusive subtitling coined by Abé Mark Nornes (1999), the paper investigates the definition of transcreation within subtitling procedures and scrutinises technological advances and multimodal creativity within the context of Oliver Twist. In this sense, transcreation as a fan-driven practice in subtitling has the scope of giving visibility to artistic works in a more creative way, as well as of presenting them tinted with individualised characteristics which cater to the various demands for a variety of audiences.

Abstract:

This paper explores into Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist to examine its portrayal of social realism amidst the backdrop of Victorian London's underclass. Through a multidimensional analysis, it scrutinizes Dickens’ depiction of poverty, exploitation, and societal injustices faced by the marginalized segments of society. By exploring the lives of characters like Oliver, Fagin, and Nancy, the paper elucidates the intricate web of economic disparity, moral decay, and systemic oppression prevalent in the era. Drawing on historical context and literary analysis, it highlights Dickens’ adeptness in capturing the harsh realities of urban poverty and the resilience of individuals navigating through adversity. Ultimately, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of Dickens’ socio-political commentary and the enduring relevance of Oliver Twist in critiquing societal inequities.

Abstract:

Initially, Oliver Twist (1839) might seem representative of the archetypal male social plot, following an orphan and finding him a place by discovering the father and settling the boy within his inheritance. But Agnes Fleming haunts this narrative, undoing its neat, linear transmission. This reconsideration of maternal inheritance and plot in the novel occurs against the backdrop of legal and social change. I extend the critical consideration of the novel's relationship to the New Poor Law by thinking about its reflection on the bastardy clauses. And here, of course, is where the mother enters. Under the bastardy clauses, the responsibility for economic maintenance of bastard children was, for the first time, legally assigned to the mother, relieving the father of any and all obligation. Oliver Twist manages to critique the bastardy clauses for their release of the father, while simultaneously embracing the placement of the mother at the head of the family line. Both Oliver and the novel thus suggest that it is the mother's story that matters, her name through which we find our own. And by containing both plots – that of the father and the mother – Oliver Twist reveals the violence implicit in traditional modes of inheritance in the novel and under the law.

Abstract:

For long, there has been debate over the appropriateness of using simplified literary texts in second language classrooms. In examining the simplified form, the main question is persuasion that is partly achieved through meta-discourse resources, which are “Self-reflective linguistic material referring to the evolving text and to the writer and the imagined reader of the text” (Hylan & Tse, 2004, p. 156). The present study compares the use of interactional meta-discourse resources (IMRs) in terms of the frequency and categorical distribution in the original copy of a novel (i.e., Oliver Twist) and its simplified counterparts. The corpus was analyzed based on the Hyland (2005) model. The frequency and categorical distribution of IMRs were calculated per 1,000 words, and the difference in their distribution was calculated using Chi-Square statistical analysis. The findings indicate a significant difference in the frequency of IMRs between the original and the simplified versions of the Dickensian novel, implying that despite having more complex syntax and semantics, the original novel seems to be more persuasive, at least on the part of IMRs, compared to its simplified counterparts. In terms of categorical distribution, there was no significant difference between them.

Full text

Abstract:

Oliver Twist tells us about the tough experiences of the main characters and faithfully depicts the underworld of the UK during the Victorian reign. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory classifies human needs into five hierarchical levels. The gradual realization from low-level needs to high-level needs is a process to pursue life values. Nancy and Oliver have similar life experiences, but their final fates are different. The reasons lie in the realization of the five-level needs during their formative years. This paper focuses on the life experiences of Nancy and Oliver and the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of their five-level needs in the light of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and reveals the underlying reasons for their disparate fates, so as to enhance the understanding of the connotation of this novel. Through the research, we can come to realize the wide applicability of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. When an individual’s basic material and survival needs are met, he would gain impetus for higher level needs. The gradual realization from low-level needs to high-level needs is a process to pursue life values. By reading Oliver Twist, we can come to recognize Dickens’s belief that the poor and the disadvantaged could get rid of their tragic fate with the benevolent help of the morally noble ones from the upper class, but he didn’t pay adequate attention to the crux of the social problem, that is, the lower class often fail to meet their hierarchical needs due to personal and external factors. Therefore, analyzing the main characters’ needs in Oliver Twist with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can provide the readers a new perspective to understand this novel and help to testify to the importance of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in understanding the causes of social problems during the Victorian reign.

Abstract:

Oliver Twist, el huérfano más célebre de la literatura, hizo su aparición en las páginas de Bentley’s Miscellany en febrero de 1837. Desde entonces, su historia ha figurado en todo tipo de medios textuales y audiovisuales, de suerte que la imagen del infante de familia desconocida, cuya inocencia le lleva a triunfar ante la injusticia social que lo asedia, guarda una relación indisoluble con la obra de Charles Dickens. El linaje diegético del expósito Oliver se descubre en las páginas finales de la novela que lleva su nombre. Su genealogía artístico-literaria, sin embargo, es un secreto a voces que inspira personajes peculiares y una estructura narrativa basada en coincidencias y revelaciones. En este artículo se exploran algunas de las conexiones más relevantes entre Oliver Twist y las narrativas dieciochescas que le antecedieron. En específico, se atienden los legados de las novelas de Henry Fielding y las narrativas visuales de William Hogarth, los cuales fueron determinantes no sólo en la representación tragicómica de las clases bajas —como se ha llegado a sugerir— sino también en la concepción del protagonista, la caracterización de personajes secundarios y el diseño de la trama principal.

Abstract:

Language as a means of communication has an important role in delivering a message. Moreover, it is related to speech acts the speakers use. Each utterance has a different meaning to understand, and that is the job of the hearers and readers to interpret the meaning. Speech acts have three different distinct levels: locutionary (the actual words uttered), illocutionary (the force or intention behind the words), and perlocutionary (the effect of the illocution on the hearer). The researchers chose the “Oliver Twist” script as the data to analyse. Some of the scripts were taken and classified into the three levels of speech act: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. This research aimed to describe the three distinct levels of speech acts that are shown in the “Oliver Twist” script and to examine how speech acts are used in the “Oliver Twist” script. The researchers used a descriptive analysis technique in which the data were taken from some scripts which contain three distinct levels of speech acts. The researchers then identified the utterances and classified how they performed what the speaker meant. The result shows that some utterances have three distinct levels of speech act, such as I want some more, You must be hungry, A polite boy, Can we start the game and Because he is a street child. Since speech acts are essential to indicate what a speaker means, English learners should enrich themselves by understanding the function of speech acts and their distinct levels.

Abstract:

En 1870, atendiendo a la invitación de los propietarios del Jornal da Tarde, Machado de Assis tradujo parte de la novela de Charles Dickens Oliver Twist. Es importante señalar que la traducción de la novela de Dickens en el contexto brasileño del siglo XIX no se hizo directamente del inglés hacia el portugués, sino vía una traducción francesa. De hecho, el recorrido de la novela de Dickens implica una red de publicaciones, ediciones y traducciones en la que Francia jugó el papel de intermediaria. Este artículo presenta el recorrido de la novela de Dickens desde Inglaterra hasta Brasil, considerando particularidades (con)textuales de la novela inglesa y de las traducciones francesa y machadiana.
