In Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," Mr. Bumble, the beadle, takes Oliver to the workhouse after he runs away from the orphanage. He treats Oliver harshly and is more concerned about maintaining order and discipline than about the well-being of the children. Bumble's actions exemplify the callousness of the workhouse system, as he often prioritizes his own authority and reputation over the needs of the vulnerable children in his care.
