THE NOBLE SOUL NEVER SINKS

----Book Review Of “Oliver Twist

“The noble soul is an ark of humanity that will never sink. It’ll keep its height however fiercely the vulgarism floods.”

I just recall this sentence which I learned in a Chinese passage 5 years ago after finishing the book Oliver Twist, which is a masterpiece of the great writer Charles Dickens. He is good at interpreting the truth of the human world from reality with wise and humorous words. In this book, Charles Dickens depicted the figure of the treacherous head of thieves Fagan and Monks who is Olive’s greedy and evil brother making a deal with Fagan to make Olive a thief and Bill Sikes who is a rough man and thinks of nothing of blood when he’s angry. But there’s good people, too---Nancy, Rose and Mr. Brownlow who make Oliver’s life much easier.
