Title: A Tale Of Two Cities. This Is Significant Because

In A Tale of Two Cities, there are two characters, which are identified as lawyers. C.J. Stryver is one lawyer, and Sydney Carton is another lawyer. C.J Stryver was an arrogant, egotistical man who believed he was the best lawyer that existed. Sydney Carton was a succesfull lawyer, who did not like to be in the spotlight. So C.J. Stryver would not have been a successful lawyer without the help of Sydney Carton.

In a Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens juxtapositions suspense and humor in an intricate tale of love and loyalty.

Charles Darnay, Evremonde as we know him, is a rich leader of France. On the other hand, a lawyer, whose name is Sydney Carton, seems to not care about anyone but himself. However, when he met Lucie Manette, his life was changed a little bit and added her in his circle of obligation. Both of these guys, in our case Charles Darnay

Charles Defarge harbors resentment for the aristocracy and wants revenge against the disservice that they do to the common people, as he grew up impoverished in a small town in France. This hatred can be seen in the scene in which he interacts with the Marquis, when he throws the golden coin back in the face of the embodiment of the nobility he so despises. It is this desire for revenge that leads Mr. Defarge to become a leader of the Revolution, heading the charge to storm the Bastille and leading the group of Jacques. It is common knowledge that revolution is bloody business, and Mr. Defarge has no qualms spilling blood. In several points in the book, he is willing to compromise his morals to further the ends of the revolution, even displaying Dr. Manette in his most frazzled state to the Jacques to inspire passion for the revolution. Despite this clear ethical ambiguity, he is something of a sympathetic revolutionary; Mr. Defarge is unwilling to cross some lines that don’t even exist in the mind of his wife. At one point in the book, Defarge speaks to this idea: "Well, well," reasoned Defarge, "but one must stop somewhere. After all, the question is still where?” His wife’s reply is merely: “At extermination.”

Mr. Stryver takes advantage of and uses Sydney Carton’s gifts for his own benefit, while filling Sydney with low self-esteem and self-doubt to such an extent that Sydney won’t stand up for himself. Sydney Carton selflessly does Stryver’s work for him, working late at night with wet towels wrapped around his head. He and Stryver were in school together and that is when his habit of doing others’ work for them started, as Dickens shows one late night: “‘The old Sydney Carton of old Shrewbury School,’ said Stryver, nodding his head over him as he reviewed him in the present and the past, ‘the old seesaw Sydney. Up one minute and down the next; now in spirits and now in despondency!’ ‘Ah!’ returned the other, sighing: ‘yes! The same Sydney, with the same luck. Even then I did exercises for other boys, and seldom did my own’” (Dickens 67). Sydney Carton

A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, is a suspenseful novel taking place before and during the French Revolution in the late 1700s. The audience is taken on a journey through time, learning about how the Revolution affected two main families, the Manettes and the Evrémondes. Throughout the novel, Dickens makes the reader question what drives man-kind to sacrifice? The answer is love and happiness result in sacrifices. The characters, such as Charles Darnay, Doctor Manette, and Sydney Carton prove this as they commit sacrifices to start a new life, for a loved one, or for the benefit of other people.

Charles Dickens writes an exemplary novel about the French Revolution, which follows the lives of those weaving into and out of it. Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities takes place in the late 1700s in France and England. The novel introduces a theme of man’s inhumanity to man, the cruel behaviors people show to each other. Throughout the book, the inhumanity of different characters towards other men slowly becomes more and more prevalent. Dickens uses the Evremonde brothers, Madame Defarge, and the Revolutionaries to show that there is no redemption for man’s inhumanity against man.

Madame Defarge, a very bold but cruel revolutionary, is very sadistic towards nobles, especially the Evrémondes, because of how the family had treated her family in the past. The woman who had been stolen away by the younger twin was Madame Defarge’s sister, so the Evrémondes tore her family apart. She had been waiting to get her revenge on the family her whole life, and once the revolution starts, she seizes her chance. The very kind and generous son of the older brother, Charles Darnay, travels back to France from England to try and save his employee, and she immediately takes the opportunity to put him into jail. After multiple trials he is found guilty and condemned to death via La Guillotine. Although Charles Darnay has never actually wronged her, “it was nothing to her, that an innocent man has to die for the sins of his forefathers; she saw not him, but them” (281). Madame Defarge is not satisfied by Darnay’s death, however, and wants to kill his wife, Lucie Manette, and their daughter. It was this inhumanity that leads to her death. Madame Defarge goes to the Manette’s home to try and find Lucie in the act of a Guillotine-worthy crime, mourning a Guillotine victim. Instead of finding Lucie, however, she finds her housemaid, Miss Pross. Miss Pross and Madame Defarge begin to fight because Madame Defarge wants to find Lucie, and eventually she draws a gun, but “Miss

When terrible things happen to good people there are two paths that can be traveled: forgiveness can be offered, or vengeance can be pursued. Madame Defarge from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, takes the latter of these two options and religiously lives by it, seeking revenge on the cruel heartless aristocracy plaguing France with famine, poverty, and oppression; however, the reasons behind her malice force the reader to understand why she performs such hateful acts during the French Revolution. Madame Defarge, though intelligent, is consumed by her hatred and has transformed into something just as bad, if not worse, than the members of the aristocracy.

Sydney Carton is a true hero in the way that he puts others first. He shows this quality as he works for Stryver to save the wrongfully accused from death and when he goes back to France to try to help

Post-revolutionary Paris should be an entirely different society than pre-revolutionary Paris. In many ways it is, but the result remains the same: the innocent man is still “proven” guilty. The common people have the power now, but that power does not result in good reasoning. In the socialistic society of Paris, there are two ways to rule. In the first way, the people rule themselves with a mob-like mentality. In the second a ruling elite rises to the top by taking a populist approach and manipulating the people. A
