"In short, the wily old Jew had the boy in his toils; and, having prepared his mind by solitude and gloom to prefer any society to the companionship of his own sad thoughts in such a dreary place, was now slowly instilling into his soul the poison which he hoped would blacken it and change its hue for ever." Chapter eighteen. I feel that this is a very important quote in this novel. It explains a main reason why people may want to steal. This quote says that people may feel like they need to steal because of loneliness. This is very sad to me, considering some of these people may not be so awful, had they had a friend or family member to help them stay less lonely.
