18th century relation with Oliver Twist

It appears that despite being sent away from the workhouse, Oliver's life has yet to turn for the better. He is instead sent to Mr. Sowerberry's house. Even there he is treated worse than the pet dog with very minimal servings of food. Apparently, this is quite normal around this time during the early 1800's because there was a huge sudden emergence of people especially towards major towns and cities. This was for reason due to the growth of the Industrial Revolution in which many factories and industries began to grow in populated areas. However with this growth of companies comes the beginnings of poor labor conditions. In this time came the distinguishing of classes of class struggles. The poor were often faced with hard labor and working conditions with minimal pay and food, usually consisting of merely bread. This appears to be the case for Oliver Twist. The wealthy are usually concerned with running businesses and trades with the help from hired servants and apprentices such as the Sowerberry family. The book also talks about the differences between funerals of a wealthy person and a poor person. It makes sense that a poor person who has nothing but his family would be very emotional when one of them dies. Whereas a wealthy individual has been provided with luxury goods, education, and wealth so when losing a family member they would usually feel more calm, especially when it involves receiving inheritance. In the end, I think I would rather be a grateful poor person than a spoiled rich brat.
