3FAMILY
As per the opinion of Dickens (2017), this medium has been able to do a justice towards
the proper portrayal of the lives of the poor families that loved during those times. Dickens has
been able to show the harsh and the very cruel picture of the tortures and the kinds of
punishments that the little kids were entitled to. Thus this book is really a very useful piece as it
helps in understanding the concept of family poverty and that of child labor. The main characters
that one comes across in this book are Oliver Twist who is like the victim of poverty and the
cruel laws that were used by the Government during this period.
The other prime characters that one can get to see in these areas are the characters named
Mr. Bumble and Mrs. Bumble who are the symbols of how much cruel society can be towards
the ones that are underprivileged and are poor. As per the opinion of Singh (2019), poverty in the
real life scenario is also one of the major concerns that need roper attention from the Government
and also from the other people of the society who are in the right position to take some steps.
Howeverthis novel has a proper connection within the actual social condition of the Canadian
society as well. This is because of the fact that in Canada the rate of child labor is also
increasing. Stubbs (2015) has suggested in the similar context that the people which are in owner
to take care of the growing level of poverty are not doing their works properly. As a result of this
the incidence of poverty in Canada is increasing day by day and the children are often the major
victims of poverty. Pereira and Unicef (2016)have suggested that the policy makers take the
advantage or the undue advantage of their position and then they forget about the actual
problems or the harsh impacts that are being created over the poor people. Stubbs (2015) has also
suggested in this similar context that the homelessness is one of themmajor embodiment of
poverty that is highlyprevalent in the society.
