As Oliver is forced into a life of thievery, he becomes the center of a deadly tug-of-war between those who wish to exploit his innocence and those who seek to uncover the secret of his true identity. A Rogues' Gallery of Villains and Heroes: Dickens creates some of his most indelible characters in this "Parish Boy's Progress." From the terrifying brutality of the housebreaker Bill Sikes and his loyal but tragic companion Nancy, to the bumbling parish beadle Mr. Bumble, the novel is a vivid tapestry of human nature. Amidst the grime of the London slums, Oliver's unwavering goodness serves as a beacon of hope against a system designed to crush the poor.
