摘要

查尔斯. 狄更斯是英国文学史上最著名的现实主义作家之一。《雾都孤儿》是他最具代表性的作品之一。这部小说描写了18世纪伦敦底层社会中贫苦儿童的的悲惨生活， 揭露了贫民救济所的黑暗。小说的主人公奥利弗是其塑造的最成功的人物之一，他单纯，善良，勇敢，即使在黑暗恶劣的环境中仍然保持着完美的品德。论文试图从社会背景，成长环境以及同小说中的另外一个人物南希的性格比较来分析小说主人公奥利弗的性格特点，并以此来说明狄更斯关于人性的矛盾的观点，即: 有些人的本性是天生的，不会因恶劣的环境而改变天性，例如主人公奥利弗。而有些人的本性是容易收到环境的影响的，例如南希。
论文由五个部分组成。第一部分主要介绍狄更斯小说写作的社会背景。第二部分介绍了小说主人公奥利弗生活的恶劣的社会环境，以此来同奥利弗的美德形成了对比。第三部分通过对奥利弗幼时凄惨的家庭环境和教育环境的描写，更加凸显了他的善良，纯洁和勇敢。第四部分，为了使读者对奥利弗的性格特点有更深的了解，笔者将对奥利弗的性格特点与南希的性格特点进行比较研究。最后一部分是论文的结论部分。

关键词：纯洁，善良，勇敢，社会因素
