How is the death of Fagin in the book Oliver Twist justified? |
[Edit] |
Fagin's greed signifies all that is bad in London at this point in time, especially in Dickens' eyes. Perhaps his sentence of death is symbolic. It marks the end of evil, greedy tendencies and the beginning of generosity and kindness as the norm. It makes for a happy ending that the bad guys go down in flames. I am not sure if he could legally be sentenced to death, but maybe Dickens was coming from a different angle.
