Analysis Of Chapter 26 Of Oliver Twist
In chapter 26 of Oliver Twist, a young girl named Rose begs her Aunt not to throw Oliver Twist in jail. She pleads with her aunt, telling her "'think how young he is, think that he may never have known a mother's love, or the comfort of a home." Rose ultimately wins the argument and Oliver is saved from jail and taken in by Rose and her aunt.
The subject of this rhetorical situation is, Oliver Twist' innocence and why he shouldn't be sent to jail. Rose mentions the fact that Oliver is a young boy and prison is no place for a sick child. This must have resonated with Rose's aunt, because she decides not to send Oliver to jail. The speech was delivered in response to Oliver Twist breaking into Rose's home and being mistaken for a thief.
