After finishing the novel "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens, I couldn't help but be deeply moved by the story of the orphan boy living in the foggy streets of London. The book's title, "Oliver Twist," perfectly captures the essence of the story as it revolves around the twists and turns that Oliver's life takes.

The author's use of imagery and descriptive language truly brings the setting to life, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the gritty streets and dilapidated buildings of London.
The characters in "Oliver Twist" are equally captivating. Oliver, the innocent and kind-hearted protagonist, instantly won my sympathy. Despite the difficult circumstances he finds himself in, Oliver remains pure and untainted by the corruption around him. His resilience and unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity are truly inspiring. Moreover, the villains in the novel, such as Fagin and Bill Sikes, are portrayed with such depth and complexity that it becomes impossible to completely despise them.

雾都孤儿英文读后感 篇三
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.

In a word, the whole novel is full of twists and turns, which makes people sigh for Oliver Twists life experience, angry for the mean man, moved by the kind Brownlow, and happy for Olivers rebirth. Since its publication more than 100 years ago, Oliver Twist has become a classic work loved by readers all over the world, and I am no exception. Because of this novel, I also began to know Dickens.

雾都孤儿英文读后感 篇六
Oliver Twist is a realistic novel written by Charles Dickens. The novel is set in foggy London in the 19th century and tells the story of Olivers life experience and growth. At the same time, as an example of social novels, it reveals other real social problems in the 19th century, such as child labor, juvenile delinquency and so on.
There is a plot in the article that makes people feel deeply. Oliver is taken to the gathering place of thieves. The men who dominate the group praise the death penalty in front of expensive watches and jewelry. It seems hard to understand why the lawbreakers are not afraid of death penalty. This is related to the defects of the law at that time. Confession can not change the fate of being hanged, so the criminals who go to the execution ground will not choose to let the truth As a result, these young people are free from slavery.
Oliver, the protagonist in the novel, was originally a simple teenager, because he had to mix with a group of juvenile delinquents for survival. Regardless of the later turning point of the novel, if Oliver had been living with this group of people and learning their "technology", his life would surely go dark. Although these are related to the complex background of London in the 19th century, we should still be vigilant that similar phenomena still exist in our society.
Caring for the physical and mental health of teenagers requires the joint efforts of all our citizens. Like the old gentleman in the novel, a little help and a simple helping hand may change a persons future.
