Born in a workhouse, Oliver faces cruelty, hunger, and neglect, yet he remains kind and innocent despite the suffering around him. After escaping his miserable circumstances, he falls in with a group of young thieves led by the cunning Fagin, but his gentle nature and desire for goodness set him apart.
