A major theme that would relate
to Oliver Twist would be a light house. Oliver lives on the dark streets of
London and there are homeless people, bandits, and thieves everywhere. Charles
Dickens chose Oliver to be the light house in this dark society because like
Charlie in Flowers for Algernon, Oliver was born with disadvantages as well.
Oliver had no parents, no money, and no friends. Oliver was one of the lucky
people who found their solution. Oliver’s solution was Mr. Brownlow because he
adopted him and literally gave him a future. I feel very happy for Oliver because
he now has hope for he found parent and luckily found a promising future. Nancy
also symbolized a light house because she wanted Oliver to get out of the band
of pickpockets and find a better life then be trapped in Fagin’s evil grasp. All in all Oliver as well as Nancy and Mr.
Brownlow symbolized lighthouses in Charles Dickens’s novel Oliver Twist.
