Oliver Twist and The signalman


In the short story "The signal- man and the movie "Oliver Twist", I could find a lot of interesting themes like: Fear, Working class, Poverty and Power. Both show how people in those days feared because they did not know what would happen with their jobs, society, and the most importantly, with their own lives. In fact, people in those times, especially women and children, started working in different places with low salaries. They were exposed to death or have a work accident.
However, power is another important theme. I could see how people who had power could take advantage of poor people, especially children who did not have parents. In effect, rich people could abuse of their power with people who did not have any kind of education. But, the power and rich people were and will be taking advantage of lower social classes.
