• Summary
  Oliver Twist’s mother dies shortly after giving birth to him
  in a workhouse. At nine years old he goes to live with an
  undertaker where he is cruelly treated. He then runs away
  to London, where he becomes involved with a gang of
  child thieves, controlled by the evil Fagin. After a street
  robbery goes wrong, Oliver is cared for by the kindly
  Mr Brownlow but he soon ends up back in the grips
  of Fagin and his accomplice Bill Sikes. Oliver is shot
  while breaking into the Maylie’s house and later recovers
  there, once again free of Fagin. However, Fagin and the
  mysterious Mr Monks plot to recapture him. Nancy,
  Sikes’s girlfriend, hears of the plot and tells Rose Maylie.
  On hearing of her deception, Sikes murders Nancy.
  We learn that Oliver is actually Monk’s half brother and
  entitled to a fortune from his father’s will, which was
  destroyed, and that Monks has been trying to turn Oliver
  into a criminal to discredit him. The truth comes out in
  the end and the characters get what they deserve. Sikes
  is killed, Fagin is hanged, and Oliver eventually finds
  long-lasting happiness.
  Chapters 1–3: The story begins in the workhouse where
  a boy is born. His mother dies soon after the birth and
  the child is named Oliver Twist. The first nine years of
  his life are spent in the terrible conditions of cold and
  hunger that prevailed in the workhouse. Then one day
  Oliver asks for some more food at dinner time and the
  enraged Mr Bumble pays for Oliver to be taken away
  by a local undertaker, Mr Sowerberry. Oliver suffers
  further mistreatment at the hands of Noah Claypole, an
  employee, and Mrs Sowerberry. After suffering physical
  and mental abuse, he decides to run away to London.
  Chapters 4–6: Oliver sets off on foot for London. On the
  way he meets a strange boy, Jack Dawkins, who befriends
  him and offers him a place to stay in London. Dawkins
  leads Oliver to a house of unimaginable filth, and
  introduces him to an ugly old man, Fagin. At first, Fagin
  and the boys who live with him seem very kind to Oliver.
  One day, Oliver asks if he can go to ‘work’ with the other
  boys and it is then that he realises they are all thieves. Jack
  Dawkins and Charley Bates steal a handkerchief from an
  old man, Mr Brownlow. The man raises the alarm, and
  in the confusion Oliver is apprehended by a policeman.
  Mr Brownlow takes pity on Oliver and takes him to his
  house. Fagin and his evil friend Bill Sikes are informed of
  this development and make plans to get Oliver back, with
  the help of Bill’s girlfriend, Nancy.
  Chapters 7–9: Oliver is very content in Mr Brownlow’s
  house, which is very clean and comfortable. One day,
  Oliver offers to take some books and some money to a
  bookshop for Mr Brownlow. On the way to the shop,
  Oliver is captured by Bill Sikes and Nancy and taken back
  to Fagin’s house. Fagin tells Oliver that he has to work for
  him. Sikes and Fagin plan a robbery in a country house,
  and they choose Oliver as the boy they need to enter thehouse through a small window. Oliver enters the house,
  but a noise wakes up the household, and Oliver is shot.
  Sikes grabs him and runs away, but then drops him in a
  field.
  Chapters 10–12: Oliver wakes up and decides to enter
  the house again. A doctor is called to attend to Oliver’s
  wound. The owners of the house, Rose Maylie and her
  aunt, Mrs Maylie, nurse Oliver through a fever. He
  recovers and enjoys several months of happiness. Then,
  one night when he is half asleep, he thinks he sees Fagin
  and another man at his window and screams. Meanwhile,
  back in the workhouse, Mr Bumble receives a visitor,
  Mr Monks. Monks questions Bumble about Oliver,
  and wants to see a woman who knows something about
  Oliver’s mother. Bumble arranges a meeting and an old
  woman gives Monks a locket that belonged to Oliver’s
  mother. Monks then throws this into the river.
  Chapters 13–17: Nancy overhears a conversation between
  Fagin and Monks concerning Oliver. She decides to tell
  Rose Maylie, who is now in a London hotel with Oliver.
  She informs Rose that Monks believes Oliver to be his
  brother and is planning terrible things for him. Nancy
  arranges to meet Rose on London Bridge on Sunday
  night. There she tells Brownlow and Rose where they can
  find Monks, and what he looks like. Noah Claypole, who
  is hiding nearby, overhears the conversation and runs to
  tell Fagin. Claypole then recounts his story to Bill Sikes,
  who in a mad rage, batters Nancy to death with a heavy
  stick.
  Chapters 18–21: Sikes decides to leave London, but
  returns with plans to escape to France. Meanwhile,
  Monks is brought to Brownlow’s house. Brownlow tells
  Monks what he believes happened in the past. Monks’s
  father separated from his wife, and fell in love with a
  beautiful young girl, Agnes. He planned to marry her,
  but died suddenly. Agnes died soon afterwards in the
  workhouse, after giving birth to Oliver, making Oliver
  Monks’s half brother. Monks’s father left a will giving half
  of his property to Oliver, a will that Monks’s mother then
  destroyed. Brownlow accuses Monks of throwing away a
  locket, proof of Oliver’s parentage, and of paying Fagin
  to turn Oliver into a thief. Monks admits to everything.
  Sikes later dies by accidentally hanging himself, Fagin is
  sentenced to death and hanged, and Oliver lives happily
  as Brownlow’s adopted son.
