How does Victorian literature envisage communication between social classes?

The chosen question for this essay is “How does Victorian literature envisage communication between social classes?” For this essay, draw from TWO texts: Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist and George Bernard Shaw’s Mrs Warren’s Profession.

These two texts both have in them depictions of poverty and working class conditions Mrs Warren is a prostitute, forced to be one because society at that time offers her no viable way to make money; Oliver Twist is an orphan. A useful starting point would be to think about how these texts make deliberate attempts at showcasing the working class.
