Abstract
This paper attempts to investigate the use of humour in revealing the idea of corruption in Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist. Corruption was a huge problem in London in the 1830s when Dickens was writing. Oliver Twist was one of his best novels that portrayed how corruption lived. Through this novel, he also wanted to show how social and cultural at that time created corrupt behavior in the society. The art of humour created by Dickens is an interesting strategy to deliver the message of corruption. By understanding the art of humour that consists of idiomatic expression, social and cultural context, would help the translator to capture a distinctive creative process that incorporates the linguistic structures and cultural environment of the target language while at the same time remaining as faithful as possible to the original.
