es brought up by that question is Nancy. As a child of streets, Nancy has been a thief and drinks to excess. The narrator‘s reference to her ―free and agreeable…manners‖ indicates that she is a prostitute. She is immersed in the vices condemned by her society, but she also mits perhaps the most notable act in the novel when she sacrifices her own life in order to protect Oliver. Nancy has a double character, with ―soul of goodness in things of evil.‖ Nancy‘s moral plexity is unique among the major characters in Oliver Twist. The novel is full of characters who are all good and can barely prehend evil, such as Oliver, Rose, And Brownlow, and characters who are all evil and barely prehend good, such as Fagin, Sikes, and Monks. Only Nancy prehends and is capable of both good and evil. Her ultimate choice to do good at a great personal cost is a strong argument in favor of the incorruptibility of basic goodness, no matter how many environmental obstacles it may face. She is a good girl, though she grows up in a evil world. There are many researches on Oliver Twist, this poor little boy. This paper is mainly concerned on Nancy. Oliver does not know anything of evil, and he speaks standardized English, though he grows up in a disguised kind society. Comparing with Oliver Twist, Nancy is true. Nancy is different, and she prehends virtue and evil. By concrete description, it reflects the darkness of that society and the plexity of human nature. 1 Nancy’s Double Character Acts in Oliver Twist When Oliver sees Nancy at the first sight, he sees Nancy ―wore a good deal of hair, full of curlpapers in, not very neatly turned up behind。 and were rather untidy about the shoes and stockings.‖ She was not pretty, but stout and hearty. This sample description, suggests that Nancy is a mon type of degradation. Nancy is a young prostitute and one of Fagin‘s former child pickpockets. She is also Bill Sikes‘s lover. Her trust to criminal associates and her sense of moral decency e into conflict when Oliver is in a huge danger. Despite her criminal lifestyle she is among the noblest characters in the novel .In effect, she gives her life for Oliver when revealing Monk‘s plots. The Attitude to Oliver in Different Time After Oliver was arrested, by being thought to steal Mr. Brownlow, Fagin persuade Nancy to go to police station to find out what happened to him. Nancy dresses in nice clothing, and at the police station she pretends to be Oliver‘s distraught sister. She learns that the gentleman from whom the handkerchief was stolen took Oliver home with him. Then Nancy kidnaps Oliver on the way to the bookstall, and drags Oliver through the dark streets After claiming Oliver, she struggles fiercely inner heart. When she talks the affair that the prisoner was hung with Sikes, she said these men on the gallows are ―fine young chaps‖. Maybe they are, if they are not poor, and don‘t meet the bad man like Fagin. Oliver can feel her hand trembling and sees her face had turned a deadly white. In the moment, Nancy maybe is thinking herself may have the same ending in some day. When Nancy shows sympathy to them, she also feels very sad about herself fate. But now, just for herself, she helps the gang to kidnap a helpless boy to the miserable world. She feels very uneasy inner heart. This kind of feeling is continuing until they claimed Oliver to Fagin‘s den. When Oliver calls for help and flees, but Sikes threatens to set his vicious dog, Bull‘s –eye, on him. Nancy leaps to Oliver‘s defense, saying that they have ruined all his good prospects. She has worked for Fagin since she was a small child, and she knows that a life of disrepute lies in wait for Oliver. Oliver has been shot in the robbery to Maylie. Fagin relates Oliver‘s misfortune to Nancy. She cries that she hopes Oliver is dead, because she believes that living with Fagin is worse than death. Nancy eavesdrops the talk between Fagin and Monks, and she bees perturbed. Monks wants Oliver to be made into a hardened thief, and he schemes to give Oliver a bad reputation, so that he can claim their family‘s full inheritance. With the development of the novel, Nancy plays a more important character than before. After she knows the secret conversation between Fagin and Monks, she runs into a predicament. Now she bees the key person of Oliver‘s fate. Telling or hiding the truth, it will decide Oliver‘s live or death. But the people around her are so conspicuous and ferocious .Any agitation will make her plan fail even her death. After her decision of waving Oliver, she also makes herself standing in a more dangerous situation. Sikes does not notice nervousness until a few days later. Sensing something unusual, he demands that she sit by him. Eventually, Sikes falls asleep after the laudanum has taken effect. She hastens to a hotel in a wealthy area, she begs the servants to allow her to speak to Miss Maylie, who is staying there. Disapprovingly, they conduct her upstairs. Nancy confesses to Rose that she is the one who kidnapped Oliver on his errand to Mr. Brownlow. She relates that overheard Monks tell Fagin that he is Oliver‘s brother. When Nancy realizes that Oliver is in a dangerous environment, she hopes that Miss Maylie could help him escaping from danger. Nancy refuses Rose‘s help and leaves. The Attitude to Fagin in Different Time Nancy is one of Fagin‘s former pickpocket. In the course of searching Oliver, Nancy is selected to do the plan. From this we can see Fagin trusts Nancy and believes she can do it well. As their expectation, Nancy finishes the task perfectly. But when she sees Sikes and Fagin seizing and mistreating Oliver .She tries her best to protect Oliver, which demonstrates her deep and passionate sense of morality.。
