ABSTRACT
This paper is mainly based on one of the masterpieces of Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist, which is deemed as one the representatives of English critical realistic literature of the 19th century. It first introduces the origin and development of critical realism in England and illustrates the ideological and artistic features of critical realism. It then, based on its ideological and artistic features, analyzes the manifestations of Nancy’s double character in this novel. It finally discusses the reasons for Nancy’s double character from the perspective of human nature and social environment as well as Charles Dickens’ viewpoint of Nancy. As a result, it proves that social environment has a great effect on human’s character, but however adverse the environment is, it may never tarnish the goodness in human nature.
