Of the extraordinary amount of literary devices available to authors, Charles Dickens uses quite a few in his novel A Tale of Two Cities, which is set during the French Revolution. One of his more distinctive devices is character foils. The five sets of foils are Carton and Darnay, Carton and Stryver, Darnay and the Marquis de Evremonde, Madame Defarge, and Mr. Lorry and Jerry Cruncher. Dickens uses foil characters to highlight the virtues of several major characters in order to show the theme of personal, loving relationships having the ability to prevail over heartless violence and self-consuming vengeance.

In A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, isolation impacts Madame Defarge and Sydney Carton by altering their perception of life, influencing Madame to become obsessive with her vengeful goal of eliminating the aristocracy and damaging Carton by forcing him to contain his depressive emotions.

Humanity is inherently flawed. Charles Dickens illustrates this in his novel A Tale of Two Cities as he writes about the lives of the Manettes and the people they draw around them. In this novel, Dickens uses Sydney Carton, a main character in the novel and the lover of Lucie Manette, to reveal his thoughts about the inherent nature of humanity. The characteristics of humanity change and mutate with the experiences of each person and the workings of their own mind, as illustrated by Mr. Stryver’s inhumane and thoughtless treatment of Sydney, the first time Sydney saves Charles Darnay’s life, and Sydney’s love for Lucie Manette.

A Tale of Two Cities has several recurring themes, including the failure of the French Revolution. In the book, the peasants defeated the aristocrats by imprisoning and murdering them. Although many of the imprisonments and executions were unjust, the peasants had gain complete power. The peasants’ revolution did not end the tyranny that existed with the aristocrats ruling, but created a new tyranny with lack of justice and mercy.

The era surrounding the French Revolution was a horrifically bloody and violent period of history – the best of times and the worst of times. The violence enacted by the citizens of French on their fellow countrymen set a gruesome scene in the cities and country sides of France. Charles Dickens uses a palate of storm, wine, and blood imagery in A Tale of Two Cities to paint exactly how tremendously brutal this period of time was.

The Victorian era class system was founded upon three distinct social classes – upper, middle, lower – with marginal upward mobility granted to those of the lower and middle classes. Society in 19th century England determined an individual's value largely by the social class that individual belonged to, and by extension how much power and wealth that individual held. Naturally, primitive lower classmen such as Pip would struggle to find a respectable identity in a society founded upon social titles. Through a refusal to accept that social worth is determined at birth, Pip defies the predated victorian-era class system and proves to himself that hard work and self improvement is the true measure of self worth.

The French Revolution was fought for the rights of the common man and his natural rights. Ultimately, it can be viewed as a period of time of complete social and political upheaval and a new beginning for the country of France. As proved by France, sometimes a rebirth, clean slate, or new beginning is necessary to better something’s overall being. It is clear that Charles Dickens supports this idea as he translates it into the characters within his novel. In A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, several characters experience both literal and figurative rebirth and as a result are bettered overall.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” the author Charles John Huffam Dickens writes at the beginning of his critically acclaimed novel which takes place before and during the french revolution “A Tale Of Two Cities”. It is 1775, Mr. Jarvis Lorry, an official of Tellson's Bank, was accompanying Lucie Manette to Paris. Mr. Lorry had knowledge about her father, Dr. Manette, who had disappeared a few years back. He had been wrongfully incarcerated in the Bastille. Once they arrive to Paris, they pay a visit to Monsieur Defarge, a wine-seller. Monsieur had been looking after Dr. Manette after his release from prison. The two are astonished to see the terrible state he is in.

The French Revolution mainly took place in the city of Paris during the late 1700’s. The Revolution did not only affect the people of France, but also the citizens of England as well. The French Revolution is known as one of the most brutal and inhumane periods of history. If one studied the beliefs and views of the people involved at the time, one would see a reoccurring theme of “ being recalled to life”. Born from the world of literature, Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities takes a deeper look at the culture of the late 1700’s, in both England and France. Dickens uses the character of Lucie Manette to further examine one of the major themes presented in the novel, consisting of the belief of one being

A time of uneasiness, anxiety, and misery, the French Revolution was a trying time for all involved, even the characters crafted by Charles Dickens’ imagination. Charles Dickens’ strongly enforces the hardships of this arduous era in his remarkable novel, A Tale of Two Cities, while exhibiting his keen ability to leave hints for the readers, allowing them to predict upcoming events in his skillfully fashioned plot. Dickens utilizes vivid imagery to construct menacing settings. He presents his characters as impulsive to indicate the possibility of their future cruelty and relentlessness.

The love that both Darnay and Carton had towards Lucie Manette was a thrilling addition to the plot. They both first displayed affection towards her through helping her at different times. The first time Darnay laid eyes on Manette, they were fellow passengers on a sea voyage back to England from France. Upon seeing that her father was weak and tired so Darnay aided her in caring for him. Carton however was a fellow person in the trial of Darnay with Manette. Because Manette and her father were on the ship with Darnay, they were called as witnesses at his trail. Manette cared for Darnay and at one point fainted under the suspense. Carton was watching the room intently and “took in more details of the scene than he appeared to take in; for when Miss Manette’s head dropped upon her father’s breast, he was the first to see it and get her help” (Dickens 83). As time went on, both Darnay and Carton came to visit Manette at her home, ignorant of the other’s actions. Carton, knew he was not worthy of Manette, however one day when they are alone he expressed his heart to her as he had never done before. He said, “I shall never be

Life is a complicated mess of circumstances that nobody will ever fully understand, the closest tangible object we may have in order to even begin to understand our environment would be through our own literature, expression, and art. Through these things, dried ink can clear the path to enlightenment, and this is increasingly evident in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. Through very complicated, conflicted characters, he demonstrates an artful story about guilt, fear, expectations, and love. All of these topics which are present in the novel are so present in life, we might not even notice them in our own. Other writers and even musicians, use these themes to grasp at their own realities, trying to reach for the imaginary straws hanging above their faces, and the stories that they tell are a direct reflection of this behavior in their life, the results are stunning at times. Most of us might not even realize the amount of figurative weight we carry on our shoulders, it’s all just extra baggage. The baggage that we wear would be all of our combined emotions and expectations. No matter what you do, you will never escape the judgement of others (their expectations), your emotions, and your inner-judgement (and expectations).

Resurrection is an important idea in Christian religion. Additionally, resurrection is, by far, the most prominent theme within Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities. Lucie Manette, a young, caring woman serves as a “golden thread” that brings together and revives her father Dr. Alexandre Manette, her good friend Sydney Carton, and her husband, Charles Darnay. Her presence in these men’s lives is what resurrects them and motivates each of them to become a better version of themselves. The power of Lucie’s love is exemplified by the resurrection of Dr. Manette, Sydney Carton, and Charles Darnay.
