A Brief Analysis of the Causes of the Happy Ending in Oliver Twist《雾都孤儿》喜剧结局的必然性摘 要《雾都孤儿》是英国伟大的批判现实主义作家狄更斯的一部经典小说。在小说中，狄更斯揭露了许多当时的社会问题，如救济院、童工、以及帮派吸收青少年参与犯罪等。小说的主人公奥列佛本是孤儿，在济贫院出生并长大，因不堪忍受济贫院的生活而出逃，后来又入贼窝。经历了许多波折，最终在许多好心人的帮助下，他知道了自己的身世并过上了幸福的生活。这部小说是一个大团圆的喜剧结局。本文通过分析狄更斯的生活经历、写作目的、思想特点等，来解释《雾都孤儿》大团圆结局产生的必然性。狄更斯从小生活困苦对底层人民充满同情，这使他能够细致地描写出底层人民的生活。而他又有着浪漫主义和理想主义的情结，提倡人道主义，相信好人终有好报，并且对资产阶级还存在一些不切实际的幻想。同时，他是一个内心渴望真爱的孤独的人，因此导致了故事中一系列的巧合以及喜剧结局的产生。但是由于他本人的思想局限，他没能认清资产阶级统治下社会的腐朽本质，于是自己安排喜剧结局，希望倡导人心向善，幻想着人们以他小说中的绅士为榜样，解决严重的社会问题。 本文的作者认为，以上一系列的原因导致了《雾都孤儿》喜剧结局产生的必然性，而这一结局对呼吁统治阶级改善贫民生活以及给予贫民精神支持都起到了一定的作用。关键词：喜剧结局；生活经历；写作目的；思想特点；必然性AbstractOliver Twist is a famous novel written by the great critical realistic novelist, Charles Dickens.
