thief, his cash cow. One night, under Sikes’ coercion, Oliver prepares to seize the opportunity to crawl into the window to report to the owner, but the housekeeper finds him and then shoots him.

In Mrs. Maylie’s house, Oliver really enjoys the warm and happiness of his life, but Fagin gang can’t stand letting Oliver off. One day Monks who is Oliver’s half-brother comes to Fagin. Because of Monk’s unscrupulous and vulgar behavior, his father leaves the whole estate to Oliver in his will. Unless Oliver is as well as Monks, his estate will be inherited by the Monks. Therefore, Monks colludes with Fagin and provides him with great benefits and prepare to make Oliver become incorrigible criminals, so that he can possess the whole estate of the Oliver and wreak his resentment for the death of his father.

He spends the rest of his life in the workhouse where they once are domineering.

2 An Analysis of Nancy’s Double Character
Different people hold different views on whether people are born good or bad. Chinese Confucianism says that all humans are born with good nature. While the Bible says that people are all sinned to Adam. In this novel, Nancy’s character is ambiguous and complex, and she just seems to be a mix of angle and evil. On the one hand, she has done numerous wrongdoings and crimes in the charge of Fagin as a young female thief. On the other hand, she spares no effort to help Oliver out from the thief gang with the awareness of humiliation in herself and evil in her fellow gang, gradually, she wakes up and regrets, stands up and fights against oppression and evil. At last, she overcomes evil by making great sublimation of spirit and significant breakthrough of nature. It’s just this double nature that well reflects the reality and ruthlessness at that time.

2.1 Nancy’s Evil Parts of Nature
Under the control of Fagin as a young female thief, Nancy is the accomplice of evil, at the same time, she also shows the protection of theft gang. For this reason, Nancy can’t get rid of these treacherous, ruthless and inhuman villains, so Nancy is under the acrimonious coercion and she can’t enjoy a little bit personal freedom. In this circumstance, Nancy has no choice but to implement and follow the Fagin and Skies’ orders though they are false and inhuman. Therefore, Nancy holds a candle to the evil. In other words, she helps the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds.本文来自辣~文^论#文,网，毕业论文

2.1.1 Being an Accomplice of Evil
The main part which can prove Nancy’s evil is her effort in the process of recapturing Oliver. When Oliver Twist innocently goes out to make handkerchiefs and comes back empty-handed with two of Fagin’s underlings, the artful Dodger and a boy of a humorous nature named Charley Bates, Oliver realizes that their real mission is to pick pockets. Charley and Dodger steal the handkerchief of Mr. Brownlow, and promptly flee. To the judge’s evident disappointment, a bookstall holder who saw Dodger commits the crime and clears Oliver who now is sick and faints in the courtroom. Mr. Brownlow takes Oliver home and his housekeeper Mrs. Bedwin takes good care of Oliver. Sikes and Fagin worried that Oliver might indulge their secrets, so they decide that Oliver must be brought back to their hideout. They want to ask Betsy to go out in search of Oliver’s
