Abstract
In the 19th century, the operation of Britain’s old poverty relief act was under great pressure. However, the promulgation of the new poverty relief act was another form of exploitation and oppression of the poor. In this context, Dickens’s realistic work Oliver Twist exposes the social problems such as child abuse, poor house corruption, exploitation and oppression of the people after the revision of the British poverty relief system. Dickens reveals the proposition “poverty is crime” and “relief is exploitation” implied in the British poverty relief system, and explained his pluralistic charity thought of self-help, mutual assistance and assistance.
