"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.
