Abstract: Oliver Twist makes the English writer Charles Dickens well-known all around the world. Dickens uses the symbolism so skillful which enhances the artistic effects of his work greatly. Symbolism just like a black and white movie embellishes a few bright colors occasionally and forms a unique art style. The application of symbolism plays a decisive role in the presentation of the characters and theme. The object and character in the work are all given special symbolic meanings. This paper researches the symbolism in this novel from the following aspects: the dispensability of symbolism to Oliver Twist; the symbolic meaning of the names of the characters and some specific objects; the factors of adopting symbolism. All these make the symbolism clear to the readers.
