Summary

A very interesting disparity between both texts is that almost all syntactic features discussed portrays Class distinction in Dickens’ original version of Oliver Twist, Geeson, on the other hand, does not consider it much of a priority to greatly emphasize class distinction. Hence, we see more of declaratives and almost no deliberate effort to employ ungrammatical use of language as we see in the original text for the purpose of distinguishing characters, unless quoted directly from original version, hence, its simplicity. The character’s interpersonal relationship is vaguely presented and we only get to see the class struggle through direct speech and cannot really explain the various peculiarities of each character because of the narrator’s shallow description of them.
