What to Focus On
- Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and died in 1870 — the Victorian era.
- His father was imprisoned for debt when Charles was young.
- At age 12, Dickens worked in a blacking factory — this experience fuelled his writing about poverty.
- The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 created the workhouse system in England.
- Workhouses were deliberately made harsh to discourage the poor from seeking help.
- Inmates were underfed, overworked, and separated from their families.
- Oliver is born in a workhouse; his mother dies immediately after birth.
- Mr Bumble names Oliver arbitrarily from an alphabetical list of names.
- The boys receive only three thin bowls of gruel per day and bread on Sundays.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Oliver asking for more is an act of rebellion or defiance against authority.
Mr Bumble is genuinely concerned about Oliver's welfare and is doing his duty responsibly.
