Charles Dickens' post correction

In the short story and in the movie it is possible to see how fragile human strength can be. Everything can make us wonder what is real or what is false. This could happen when the signs are misinterpreted. However, this should is not weird because human beings are use to see the most convenient part of everything.

On the other hand, Dickens has always tried to make the reader aware of human and social issues: such as death, poverty, power and social responsibility.

Through his stories it is possible to picture how lonely we are in this world; and through Oliver Twist’s story, that the only person you can trust is in you because the world sooner or later is going to leave alone. Therefore, no matter how advanced technology could become, most of the time it brings more responsibilities and debts. Consequently, progress does not mean safety.
