Darnay

     Charles Darney is an important character throughout the book A tale of two cities by Charles Dickens. Charles Darnay has many important traits also; some of his traits include loving, smart, and just. He is very loving becuase he has loved Lucie ever since they met for the first time. This qoute shows his expression of his love, "Dear Doctor manette I love your daughter fondly, dearly, her(dickens 101);" Darney says this to Dr. Manette to show him, his love for Lucie and to ask for approval to date her and Manette gives him his blessing. Darney is also very smart, he becomes a teacher in England; he teaches French. Darney is also very just. He is put to trial, and the sentence is death, but he tells the truth the whole time and is determined to be freed, and he is not sentenced and freed, with the knowledge that he was just and truthful. These are only some of the traits of Charles Darney.

Light VS. Darkness

     Dickens used light and darkness to set the tone for lucid and dr. Manette's relationship in many ways. The first way dickens sets this tone is when he writes "darkness had fallen on him in its place (dickens 32);" this means that dr. Manette has been locked away for 18 years and has lost focus and a little Memory, what dickens is saying is that anyone locked away that long should have those symptoms. The second example is when he writes " you can bear are a little more light (dickens 36);" he writes this because he is telling Dr. Monette that he needs to remember the past and he needs to lighten up. The final example is when dickens writes " laying the palest shadow of a stress on the second word (dickens 30);" in this quote Dickens is explaining how Dr. Manette puts a sad emphasis on the word he is speaking. This is how Dicken sets the tone for their conversation using light and darkness.

"Wine Shop"

        Charles dickens uses foreshadowing throughout the novel, A tale of two cities; when the wine is spilt onto the street it signifies the blood that is going to be shed in the French Revolution, a qoute from his novel states "scrawled upon a wall with his fingers dipped in muddy wine-less BLOOD(dickens22)." Another thing that dickens foreshadows in his chapter the wine shop is that the citizens will rise together in the name of freedom and equality shown in this qoute "which led especially of healths, shaking hands, and even the joining of hands and dancing(dickens 21)." These quotes signify the upcoming revolution and how the public is ready to rise up together. The final qoute shows how aweful the living conditions forced upon the citizens of France while the wealthy live in peace;"  Others men and women, dipped their handkerchiefs in the wine and squeezed it dry into infants mouths just so the child had liquids in its body(dickens21)." That is how Charles dickens foreshadows in his novel A tale of two cities.
