Fagin realizes that Nancy is up to something,

Dickens employs polarised sets of characters to explore various dual themes throughout the novel;
Mr. Brownlow and Fagin, for example, personify"good vs. evil.
As one of Fagin's victims, corrupted but not yet morally dead,
she gives eloquent voice to the horrors of the old man's little criminal empire.
Although Nancy is a full-fledged criminal, indoctrinated and trained by Fagin since childhood, she retains enough empathy to repent
her role in Oliver's kidnapping, and to take steps to try to atone.
The"merry old gentleman" Fagin, for example,
has satanic characteristics: he is a veteran corrupter of young boys who presides over his own corner of the criminal world; he makes his first appearance standing over a fire holding a toasting-fork, and he refuses to pray on the night before his execution.
