To Regain the Nature of Goodness
—— Review of „Oliver Twist'
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens', is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime.He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse.While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings.I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill.To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end.One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs.Maylie and Rose and began a new life.He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons.He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of
goodness.I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty.Although I don't think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person.Goodness is to humans what water is to fish.He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person.On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, „The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose', he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person.People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity.They look down on people's honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted.As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others.On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit.In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility.If they cannot get profit from showing their „kindness', they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down.They are one of the sorts that I really detest.Francis Bacon said in his essay, „Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.'
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything.Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those 'vermin-to-be' to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.As far as we can see, it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution.Sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles, which we often expect to come about, so why not trust? Trust yourself, trust others, and you‟ll salute miracles every single day.In the novel, though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves, who tried to torture Oliver‟s body and poisoned Oliver‟s heart intensely, he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life.Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs.In most cases, what you believe is what you‟ll become.Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you commit to doing, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds.You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life.It‟s all dictated by your attitude.In the final analysis, love and care contain numerous forms, there are love of forgiveness, love of trust, etc.but they all come from your beliefs in life.When someone tells you he‟s deceived you, forgive him anyway, when someone tells you what he‟s done, trust him anyway, and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams, think about your beliefs, then what hinders you will become a piece of cake in no time.So find out “Olivers” in your life and do as Mr.Brownlow and Mrs.Maylie do: love them and care them, which cost nothing but save much.They enrich those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.They can be certain smallest words or actions, but the memory of them sometimes last forever.Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore.Let us, therefore, enjoy life and treat other people lovingly.These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together.

Feelings on Oliver Twist
“Oliver Twist" is a very famous novel written by Dickens, a British famous writer.The book is published in 1837.The protagonist of this novel is an orphan called Oliver.His childhood was spent in the almshouse.Later, he was sent to a coffin shop as an apprentice.Because he could not endure the proprietress of oppression, he escaped from London.On the way, he met a person dubbed clever spirit, and put him into the den of thieves.He met a lot of difficulties.Finally, with the help of Nancy, he ran out of there.And he met a man, who was promised to bring him up.After that Oliver lived a happy life.But Nancy was killed.The two characters I like most are Oliver and Nancy.They are representatives of kindness.They were all born in misery, and grew up in the dark and evil world.But they always maintained a pure kind heart.Hardships did not make them down, but showed more of their aspiration.Finally, evil can never prevail over good, the power of justice over evil.Although Nancy finally died, but it was her death summon the shaking heaven and earth society justice.She was somewhere in the spirit of the deceased, which destined the evil forces of the representative.Therefore, in the novel, Nancy's spirit sublimated.Oliver has typical sense of the good news.And the representatives of the wicked come to a tragic end.Oliver's experiences demonstrate the legal silence and invisibility of the poor.In 1830s England, wealth determined voting rights.Therefore, the
poor had no right in the laws that governed their lives, and the Poor Laws strictly regulated the ability to seek relief.Since begging was illegal, workhouses were the only sources of relief.The workhouses were made to be deliberately unpleasant in order to discourage the poor from seeking their relief.The Victorian middle class assumed that the poor were uncontrollable due to their state of nature and immorality.Since the poor had no voting rights, the State chose to recognize their existence only when they committed crimes, died, or entered the workhouses.After reading this, we had to think of ourselves.We live happily, but we always complain things that we do not satisfy.And thinking a little that there are many children are suffering great pain and hunger, disease in the world.They are hoping to live a life as ours.But they never complain about these.Instead, they are filled with the desire for life, love of life.Therefore, we should cherish our happiness.And do our best to be a useful person to our country.

《雾都孤儿》读后感
初次翻开《雾都孤儿》这本书,是在一个午后,阳光暖暖的射在我的脸。在此之前,我看过同名的电影,电影中小主人公清澈的眼睛给了我十分深刻的印象。但是电影毕竟是短短的一个多小时,很难讲述出那长长的人生,于是我翻开了这本书。看了几页后,小奥力弗的形象便跳进我的脑海中。于是读着这本书就不再是看着简单的文字了,仿佛真实的生活在我的脑海中演绎着。
《雾都孤儿》 是维多利亚时期的著名小说家狄更斯,于1838年发表的个人第二篇长篇小说作品。故事讲述的是一个名叫奥力弗.退斯特的弃婴在孤儿院里被悲惨地教育了9年,然后又被送到棺材老板那儿当学徒。由于难以忍受的饥饿和暴力以及侮辱,他逃亡伦敦。又不幸误入贼窝,期间被一位善良的的老绅士班布尔先生收留。但又被那一伙贼绑回贼窝。最后善良的女扒手南希为了营救奥利佛,不顾贼头的监视和威胁,向班布尔报信,说奥利佛就是他找寻已久的外孙儿。南希被贼窝头目杀害,警察随即围剿了贼窝。奥利佛终于得以与亲人团聚。
小说讲述了这样一个故事。
主人公奥列佛·特威斯特是一名生在济贫院的孤儿,忍饥挨饿,备受欺凌,由于不堪棺材店老板娘、教区执事班布尔等人的虐待而独自逃往伦敦,不幸刚一到达就受骗误入贼窟。窃贼团伙的首领费尽千方百计,企图把奥列佛训练为扒手供他驱使。奥列佛跟随窃贼伙伴“机灵鬼”杰克—道金斯和贝茨上街时,被误认为他偷了一位叫布朗劳的绅士(恰巧是他父亲生前的好友)的手绢而被警察逮捕。后因书摊老板证明了他的无辜,说明小偷另有其人,他才被释放。由于他当时病重昏迷,且容貌酷似友人生前留下的一副少妇画像,布朗劳收留他在家中治病,得到布朗劳及其女管家贝德温太太无微不至的关怀,第一次感受到人间的温暖。窃贼团伙害怕奥列佛会泄露团伙的秘密,在费根指示下,塞克斯和南希费尽心机,趁奥利弗外出替布朗劳归还书摊老板的图书的时候用计使他重新陷入了贼窟。但当费根试图惩罚毒打奥列佛的上时候,南希挺身而出保护了奥列佛。费根用威胁、利诱、灌输等手段企图迫使奥列佛成为一名窃贼,成为费根的摇钱树。一天黑夜,奥列佛在塞克斯的胁迫下参加对一座大宅院的行窃。正当奥列佛准备趁爬进窗户的机会向主人报告时,被管家发现后开枪打伤。窃贼仓惶逃跑时,把奥列佛丢弃在路旁水沟之中。奥列佛在雨雪之中带伤爬行,无意中又回道那家宅院,昏到在门口。好心的主人梅丽夫人及其养女罗斯小姐收留并庇护了他。无巧不成书,这位罗斯小姐正是奥列佛的姨妈,但双方都不知道。在梅丽夫人家,奥列佛真正享受到了人生的温馨和美好。但费根团伙却不能放过奥利弗。有一天一个名叫蒙克斯的人来找费根,这人是奥利弗的同父异母兄长,由于他的不肖,他父亲在遗嘱中将全部遗产给了奥列佛,除非奥列佛和蒙克斯是一样的不肖儿女,遗产才可由蒙克斯继承。为此蒙克斯出高价买通费根,要他使奥列佛变成不可救药的罪犯,以便霸占奥列佛名下的全部遗产,并发泄自己对已去世的父亲的怨恨。正当蒙克斯得意洋洋的谈到他如何和班布尔夫妇狼狈为奸,毁灭了能证明奥利弗身份的唯一证据的时候,被南希听见。南希见义勇为,同情奥列佛的遭遇,冒生命危险,偷偷找到罗斯小姐,向她报告了这一切。
正当罗斯小姐考虑如何行动时,奥列佛告诉她,他找到了布朗劳先生。罗斯小姐就和布朗劳商议了处理方法。罗斯小姐在布朗劳陪同下再次和南希会面时,布朗劳获知蒙克斯即他的已故好友埃得温。奥列佛得的不肖儿子,决定亲自找蒙克斯交涉,但他们的谈话被费根派出的密探听见。塞克斯就凶残的杀害了南西。南西之死使费金团伙遭到了灭顶之灾。费根被捕,后上了绞刑架,塞克斯在逃窜中失足被自己的绳子勒死。与此同时,蒙克斯被布朗劳挟持到家中,逼他供出了一切,事情真相大白,奥利弗被布朗劳收为养子,从此结束了他的苦难的童年。为了给蒙克斯自新的机会,把本应全归奥利弗继承的遗产分一半给他。但蒙克斯劣性不改,把家产挥霍殆尽,继续作恶,终被锒铛入狱,死在狱中。班布尔夫恶有恶报,被革去一切职务,一贫如洗,在他们曾经作威作福的济贫院度过余生。
和大部分小说一样,小说有一个“善有善报恶有恶报”的结局,但它的结局是完美的!刚开始的时候对小奥列佛的遭遇感到同情和心痛,他在阴暗、罪恶、饥饿中勉强成长起来,从小奥列佛和他的伙伴身上,你能感觉到食物对于人来说的意义。班布尔那些所谓的绅士对待孩子,贫民的态度深知人性的罪恶,这也预示了他们必将灭亡,也许并不是现在。当奥列佛请求多吃一碗粥而被责罚时,你足以看到当时社会是多么的黑暗。当奥列佛被习艺所“拍卖”,最后被送到棺材铺当学徒时,你能感觉到穷人的命运是什么样的,他们不是自己生命的主宰,而是掌握在他人手中,即使到了棺材铺,还是要让老板娘欺辱!
奥列佛,终于忍不住了,他决定逃跑了,他是多么的勇敢,但那是生活所迫啊,人,有的时候就是被逼出来的。但是他不知道往哪里去,我也不知道他会去哪里,能去哪里,从生下来就是个孤儿,也许这个世界上再也没有人认识他了,我真的被那种孤独,无助感染了,感触了。当他被南希和赛克斯劫持回费根那里的时候,当他深知会伤了布朗劳先生的心,却无能为力的时候,那种心情,那种心痛,也只有被深深误解的人才能体会。
无可厚非,奥列佛是勇敢的,善良的。他胆小如鼠却为了自己母亲的尊严去和诺顿战斗,为了自己起清白而试图逃离、告发、即使都失败了。无疑他是“出淤泥而不染的”,这种品格估计也是作者生活所向往的。
也许故事有点过于巧合,但是无巧不成书啊,但是你看这巧的多么合情合理,这也是作者的写作艺术吧。给我印象比较深刻的就是贝德文太太和他儿子的对话,不光是当时的英国,就是在现在的全世界都存在的问题,也许没有那么严重了。
南希无疑是最可悲的,但是都能理解她当时的心情,她罪大恶极,做件好事是多么的困难,是她知道自己和罗斯相比是多么的卑贱,但是她想保持和别的女人,无论是穷是富,是好是坏一样的东西——爱。这是她唯一值得骄傲的地方,即使是失去生命也不可惜。这也是人性最本质的东西,那就是自尊。
对于赛克斯杀了南希之后情形的描写,可谓是入木三分,在内心深处发出的恐惧无时无刻不在笼罩着他,现实也是这样的,一个杀人犯他先安享生活之美,那几乎是不可能的,就像做了坏事心里永久的愧疚一样,但这个坏事是无法弥补的。赛克斯感觉南希的阴魂一直跟着他的时候,最后他无处可逃,去救火,是多么戏剧的一幕啊,但是令人发笑的同时也深深的感觉到他那无比的恐惧。赛克斯的狗的死也不乏幽默,个人感觉狗和南希的命运是及其的相似,可恨、可悲、可泣、可敬。
奥列佛无疑是幸运的,因为他逃了出来,遇到了贵人,狄克的死,我想也是作者刻意加进来的,因为穷苦孩子大部分命运和他是一样的,没有人知道他存在,也没有人在意他死去,也许奥列佛就有很少,也许就有一个,后也许就跟本就不会有。
有一种东西可以让人坚挺的活着,也可以高傲的死去那便是自尊;有一种东西足以照亮这个世界,那便是希望;有一种东西足以温暖世界的每一个角落那就是爱。
这本书给我的第一个感触就是:看着这本书,好几次泪水打湿了我的眼睛。不仅是为了小奥力弗.退斯特的悲惨遭遇,更是为他的善良,南希和其他小扒手的无奈,甚至是老犹太费根。书中每一个人都有这鲜明的性格。奥力弗.退斯特虽是书中的主人公,但我觉得奥力弗不是他一个人,而是孤儿院里的所有孤儿甚至是所有的在苦难中的孩子,也许他们最后都没有奥力弗的幸运,但奥力弗的幸运也只是作者对于生活的美好希望,在当时年代更多的人只能是拥有奥力弗的朋友狄克的悲惨结局。“这个孩子面色苍白,瘦骨如柴,面颊凹了进去,眼睛显得又亮又大。拼命省料的教区施衣——他的贫儿号衣——在他弱不禁风的身上仍显得宽松肥大;他幼嫩的身体却像老人一般干枯了”这就是狄克的真实形象,可以说是所有贫儿的形象,迎接他们的只有死亡。看到这,我哭了,眼泪并不能起到什么作用,但至少代表着触及灵魂的感触。
在书中并不起眼,但是不能没有的人就是女扒手南希,她的形象是世上母亲的形象,看到可怜的而有善良的小奥力弗,她不顾背叛他所爱的人塞克斯,也不顾自己冒着被抓,被处以绞刑的危险,为小奥力弗逃出悲惨的生活,最后掺死于塞克斯的拳头之下。没有太多对于南希的描写,但是她的内心世界读者能略微感受得出来:无助,愤怒,矛盾。她与习艺所的曼太太形成了鲜明的对比。可憎的曼太太贪婪地剥削着那些可怜的小生命,却从来不为自己的行为感到可耻,也许我们也不能太多地责怪于曼太太,生活的残酷造就了人们的残酷。只是在一些勇敢的人心中残存的那一点善良给予了我们那么一点感叹,但是最后的命运仍逃脱不了悲惨的死去。
这本书给我的第二个很深的感触就是主人公小奥力弗的勇敢的精神,虽然在黑暗的习艺所里饱尝了生活的艰辛,但是并没有给这么一个美好的心灵蒙上灰尘。由于饥饿他向干事提出需要一碗稀粥时,被那些干事认为“这2孩子将来一定会被绞死。在当学徒的时候他面对人们对于他母亲的羞辱,奋起反抗。他啊也许是由于初生牛犊不怕虎,竭尽全力反抗着。后来逃亡到伦敦后,纯洁的心灵让人们感到可笑。其中有一段话让我记忆尤深“那些都是老先生的,在我还热病快死掉的时候,是那位好心的先生把我带到他家里去,照看我养好了病。哦,求求你们把这些都送回去吧,把书和钱还给他。你们要我一辈子待在这儿都可以,我只求你们把这些东西送回去,不然他们应定会以为我逃跑了的,你们可怜可怜我,把书和钱送回去吧”这是小奥力弗被抓后说的话。我不禁被他维护尊严的行为所打动。一个人活着就要有尊严。
这本书给我第三个很深印象的就是作者的写作手法个性化的语言是狄更斯在人物塑造上运用得十分出色的一种手段.书中的流氓,盗贼,妓女的语言都切合其身份,另外狄更斯的语言中充满了讥讽的韵味。仿佛一个人的表情中带着辛酸的笑,让人读完之后不禁无奈的一声叹息。
合上这本书我没有太多的感慨,只有一个:人活着只要不断地向这梦想千金不需要顾虑太多,不要向命运低头,命运永远在我们手中。初次翻开《雾都孤儿》这本书,是在一个午后,阳光暖暖的射在我的脸。在此之前,我看过同名的电影,电影中小主人公清澈的眼睛给了我十分深刻的印象。但是电影毕竟是短短的一个多小时,很难讲述出那长长的人生,于是我翻开了这本书。看了几页后,小奥力弗的形象便跳进我的脑海中。于是读着这本书就不再是看着简单的文字了,仿佛真实的生活在我的脑海中演绎着。

第四篇:雾都孤儿
读《雾都孤儿》有感
《雾都孤儿》是由英国作家狄更斯先生所写的,主人翁孤儿奥立伟是上流社会一个有钱人的私生子,她年轻的母亲因长期得不到关爱,只身一人饱经跋涉,思虑之苦,在生下他后就辞世了。他来到人世后,从未得到母亲和家庭的温暖,在当时所谓的慈善机构济贫院里过者地狱一般的生活,九岁就被送到一家棺材店学徒。因不堪忍受非人的待遇,逃向伦敦,却不想被小偷所骗,跌进一个为了金钱而事先安排好的夫异母,哥哥的陷阱。由于遇到好心人,才转危为安,过上幸福的生活。
或许,你会说他很不幸,但是,我却觉得他很幸运,虽然在他出生时,母亲离他而去,可是,母亲生前很爱孩子,虽然经历了许多磨难,但最终不是也获得了幸福,在危险大时,不断有好心人的帮助,使他重获自己,但如果不是奥立伟自己的善良,坚持没有去偷东西。渴望光明,那么即便身边全是热心人也于事无补啊!
相比之下,我们是幸运还是不幸运呢?我们衣食无忧,甚至可以穿金带银,每天大鱼大肉,山珍海味,父母长辈把我们含在嘴里怕化了,放在手里怕吹了,视若珍宝,都说我们像小皇帝,小公主,我说“不”。因为,我们比小皇帝,小公主幸福多了,我们无须关心国家大事,也不要学太多礼节,只要学习就好,我们很“快乐”,我们有好玩的游戏机,有好看的娃娃,有好吃的美味,有好穿的衣服。。。
我们真的快乐吗?电视上的动画片不断,电视剧更是一浓有平,一起又波。于是我们更沉浸于此,殊不知,这一切看似美好的东西,正在青贮我们青少年的是魂,就像那美丽的玫瑰,娇艳欲滴的花朵,总是埋伏着伤人的毒品后里,往往隐藏着死亡的鼓楼,奥立伟是无夫无母,饱经挫折,但是灵魂却圣洁纯美,而我们呢?现代社会的迅速发展,根本顾不上青少年的精神问题,越来越多的人们,为了利益,狠心向祖国的未来建设者进行猛攻,外国人不再大肆毒品,不再侵略我国,可是我们并不安全,他们把大量的无趣动画,连续剧搬上荧屏,从精神上打击中国的孩子们,好心人这个词,在我们当今社会上已出现不多,等到灾难真正降临的时候,我们能向奥立伟那样,由于好心人的帮助而转危为安吗? 少年兴则国兴,少年强则国强,鲁迅的那句:“救救还在们吧?”还要喊多久?
