Plot alteration

Another major alteration to the plot towards the end is that Fagin is portrayed as a mattyr at his trial, something which Dikens would probably be keen to avoid, and is basically executed because he is a Jew, but refuses to change faith. In the novel he is not executed for being a Jew (although anti-semitism may have influenced the Magistrates decsion, however this is not explained to be the case in the book) , he is executed, like many common criminals were executed (read Great Expectations) because he was a thief, something which could constitute capital punishment in these times. The idea behind having Fagin executed in the series suggests the the courts still supported medieval idea that Jews would steal children, and therfore could be executed for doing so, there was no such law in England in the 19th centuary (although there was about half a millennium previous) and as explained the reason for Fagin being esecuted was purely because he was a racketeer. I find it slightly worrying that history and especially a great book can be changed so drastically presumably to influence peoples thoughts over modern issues (perhaps the Palestinian Israeli conflict).172.215.83.135 (talk) 16:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
