The Presentation of Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist Essay -- English Litera

Analyse the presentation of flyer Sikes in the novel Oliver Twist. You should refer to aspects much(prenominal) as the authors viewpoint, languageand the social and historical contest.I am going to write a detailed and accurate piece of writing in theform of an essay to answer the statement above. I will do this byusing quotes from the book, my own theories on what the author istrying to delineate Bill Sikes as and also my own knowledge of theVictorian era. I will be looking at specific areas, which I feel willhelp me write a more concluding and correct account of the storyOliver Twist.I will focus on areas such as Bill Sikes behaviour towards others, howcharacters around Sikes react when he is there and how backgrounds andphrases reflect the character of Sikes.The author of this novel, Charles Dickens has written throughout in thirdperson, I study he has done this to show Sikes as the character hereally is, a mean thoughtless and thuggish person in society, thismakes the reader believe that he was actually there witnessing thelife and times of Sikes. It is therefore written in an omniscient kindof way, as you feel as though Charles Dickens was observation over Sikesas if God care. I have interpreted to be quite a good way in writingthe story because Sikes is anything exactly an angel, as he goes aroundstealing and bullying mountain into doing things for him, like his dirtywork. This gives a contrasting effect on the story.It is written in 3rd person to create a judging description on theother characters. This has made characters such as Oliver and Nancy jawm good people and then characters like Fagin, Dodger and Sikes seembad ones. By adding such things as prostitution, thieving(pick-pocket... ... murderer. Dickens may have also written about Sikesaccidentally respite himself because if the hundreds of people whohad gathered and were know after him, caught up with him, then hewould of got hung by them in the town anyway.Why the chase is on to catch S ikes, hundreds of people hear of what hehas done and want to see him brutally killed because they believe thatit would be justice.Each little bridge (and there were three in sight) exercise set beneath theweight of the crown upon it. Still the current poured on to find somenook or hole from which to vent their shouts, and only for an instantsee the wretch.This shows how much Sikes was hated in his last few moments alive.I also believe that justice was done when Sikes died, he was a bully,a womanhood beater, a murderer, a kidnapper and both physically andverbally cruel to everyone he met.
