There are many, many ways the ending could be rewritten; in fact, the musical Oliver! puts an interesting twist on the facts. Characters who die in the book could be made to live and vice versa. Fagin could repent his sins (we see hints of that late in the book) and he and Nancy could team up to save Oliver. The various permutations are virtually endless.

Oliver Twist was illustrated by George Crookshank.
There have been about 25 'legitimate' productions of Oliver Twist and many that would be considered pastiches or spin-offs. Oliver! the musical was directed in 1998 by Carol Reed, Ronald Saland.
I would say neither one. Sikes was a major part of the horrible life that Oliver Twist lived and when he died at the end of the book, that was a great place for not only his life to end, but for his character as well.
A few of the more obvious choices would be: * Orphan * Pickpocket * Workhouse * Thief * Runaway * False Accusation * Coffin Maker * Gruel
That will depend entirely on type face, format, paperback or hard cover, etc. Oliver Twist has more than 20 characters in 53 chapters, making Oliver Twist a substantial novel. And it was, by the way, the first novel to feature a child protagonist throughout.
