The article discusses the construction of Fagin the Jew in Dickens's novel and in David Lean's and Roman Polanski's films, underlying how representational choices are intetwined and converse with the corresponding cultural context from which a text arises. It thus provides a reflection on the impact of adaptation as a critical act.
