Fagin is portrayed inaccurately in plays and films.

Fagin presents an incorrect portrayal of
Jews.
Fagin didn’t eat
according to Jewish laws
Fagin did not speak with a Jewish accent as the Jewish
servant Barney did

Paupers and Criminals both regarded as
outcasts
This shows the connection
between Oliver and Fagin

Fagin’s name is not a COINCEDENCE!
Charles Dickens obtains Fagin’s name from Bob
Fagin. Bob Fagin was Dickens’ fellow worker and friend
when he was a boy.

Differences between Dickens and Oliver
Dickens entertained his fellow workers
Fagin and the Artful Dodger entertained Oliver
Still correlated because these characters are a part of
Dickens
![Page 12: “Who Is Fagin?” Erin Daniels Carrie Flack Jamie Heupel Jami Holzaepfel.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d095503460f949da71b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The “Knock”o Dickens pretends
the house was his when Bob Fagin took him home; direct correlation to Oliver Twist in which Oliver goes up to a house and does the same thing. It is significant to the book.
o Oliver seeking help where he had just been shot

Dickens and his characters
