A Tale of Two Cities is a novel written by Charles
Dickens in 1959. It is about the French Revolution and its
relation with England. Charles Dickens may not be
accurate or fair as an English man judging the French
.revolution but he cleverly produces a great work of art
The French revolution was an uprising of the poor
common people against the aristocrats who represented
oppression and tyranny but when the poor took power,
they turned to be merciless beasts killing whoever was rich
no matter good or bad. The kingdom's prisons were
destroyed but new republican ones were built. Within the
waves of the blood and the dark clouds of hatred, the novel
was full of unforgettable love scenes to show that man's
heart can love.
Charles Dickens wonderfully links the events
between London and Paris as the story swings between
these two cities.

 Jarvis Lorry, an employee of Tellson's Bank, was
travelling from England to France to bring Dr. Alexandre
Manette to London. Mr. Lorry met 17-year-old Lucie
Manette at Dover, and revealed to her that her father,
Dr. Manette, was not dead, as she had been told. Her
father was a prisoner in the Bastille, for eighteen years.
Her mother lied to her because Dr. Manette went to an
unknown prison for an untold period or a known reason
and nobody knew whether he died or was still alive. Mr.
Lorry would travel with her to identify Dr. Manette as he
was his friend when Mr. Lorry was working at Tellson in
Paris.
Lorry and Lucie arrived at Saint Antoine, a suburb
of Paris and met Monsieur Ernest and Madame Therese
Defarge. The Defarges had a wine shop. The Defarges
and many other common people were members in a
group called themselves "Jacques". They hated the
government and wanted to make a revolution.
Monsieur Defarge was Dr. Manette's servant before
Manette's imprisonment. He looked after Dr. Manette
after he went out of prison and hid him for Lucie and
Mr. Lorry to take him out of France. Because of his long
imprisonment, Dr. Manette greatly changed. He lost his

darsenglizy.com
memory and turned to be a shoe maker. At first, he did
not recognize his daughter. He thought that she was the
guard's daughter and then he thought that she was his
wife because she looked like her. Lorry and Lucie then
took Dr. Manette, who insisted on taking his shoe
making tools, back to England.
Five years later, Dr. Manette who became better in
his daughter's love and care, Lucie and Mr. Lorry had to
attend a court as witness in a trial as Charles Darnay
whom they met on the ship from France to England, was
accused of being a spy for France against England.
Stryver, the lawyer, proved that Darnay was innocent.
Lucie and Darnay loved one another. Sydney
Carton, the lawyer's assistant also loved Lucie but she
loved him as a friend. He promised Lucie to sacrifice his
life to save her life or the life of anyone she loved.
Darnay became the new Marquis after his uncle
was killed but Darnay left all his wealth to the poor
farmers and did not take his new title. Darnay asked Dr.
Manette's permission to marry Lucie and wanted to tell
Dr. Manette about his family but Dr. Manette asked him
to keep his secrets until Lucie agreed. On the wedding
Darnay told Dr. Manette about his family. After the

darsenglizy.com
wedding, Dr. Manette relapsed and worked on shoes. He
became better by Mr. Lorry and Miss Pross's help
The revolution broke out and the common poor
people destroyed the Bastille and freed the prisoners.
They arrested and killed the aristocrats they could
arrest.
Darnay had a letter from Gabelle, the tax
collector, telling him that he was arrested and was going
to be killed because he was accused of working for an
aristocrat against the poor. Darnay travelled to France
to save Gabelle but he was arrested and was accused of
being an émigré and a traitor but he was saved by the
help of doctor who was a hero. Madam Defarge hated
Darnay and worked hard to bring him to the guillotine
to be killed.
Carton could replace Darnay in the prison to be
killed instead of Darnay to save him for Lucie and his
daughter. Miss Pross killed Madam Defarge to save
Lucie and Dr. Manette lost his memory. Mr. Lorry could
save Darnay, Lucie, little Lucie and Dr. Manette by
taking them to England out of France and out of danger.

The shop of Monsieur Defarge

Saint Antointe was a poor dirty area in Paris. People

suffered hunger and shops had little food but there were
many shops selling weapons.

A barrel of wine fell and broke. People ran to drink the

wine from the ground mixed with mud. Gaspard, one of the
poor people, wrote "BLOOD" by the red wine. Defarge, the
wine shop owner, blamed him for writing it in public.

Madame Defarge was a calm woman who seemed to

be busy knitting all the time and noticed nothing but she
never missed anything. She used to give warning coughs
when there were strangers. She was talking to some
Jacques who were a group of people hating the
government and wanted to make a revolution. They were
talking about the poor common people of Saint Antoine
Who suffered from want and sickness. They did not know
the taste of wine but the taste of death and black bread.

Defarge took Mr. Lorry, an Englishman who was working

in Tellson Bank which had one branch in London and

11

darsenglizy.com
another in Paris, and Lucie Manette to show them Dr.
Manette. Mr. Lorry was Dr. Manette's friend and could
identify him. Dr. Manette was thought to be dead many
years before. Lucie's mother told her that he died because
he suddenly and quietly disappeared but he was
imprisoned in La Bastille for an unknown reason and an
untold period. He had money in Tellson Bank so it was her
trustee and brought her Miss Pross, an English woman
who loved Lucie and brought her up as her own daughter
after Lucie's mother died. Defarge was Dr. Manette's old
servant before Dr. Manatte went to prison. Dr. Manette
was free now but greatly changed.

On the way to the doctor's room, Mr. Lorry blamed

Defarge instead of thanking him for keeping Dr. Manette
locked in his room but Defarge told him that Dr. Manette
did not feel safe if the door was unlocked because he lived
locked in his cell for a long time. Mr. Lorry blamed Defarge
for making a show of Dr. Manette as he saw some people
watching Dr. Manette from the door cracks but Defarge
told Mr. Lorry that looking at Dr. Manette would make the
people hate the government more and make their
revolution.

The Shoe Maker

The long imprisonment affected Dr. Manette

badly. He became very old and weak. He lost his memory
and could only remember his name as One Hundred and
Five North Tower, the number of his cell in La Bastille. He
changed from a doctor to be a shoe maker. He did not
realize that he went out of prison. He thought that Lucie
was the guard's daughter.
When Dr. Manette saw Lucie's hair he was
surprised as his wife had the same hair. He kept some
pieces of hair in a piece of cloth round his neck. He
remembered the day he was taken to prison; his wife laid
her head on his shoulder. He found those pieces of hair on
his shoulder and kept them all those years
Lucie asked Mr. Lorry if her father was fit for the
journey to England. He told her that it was safer for Dr.
Manette to go out of France as he might still have enemies
there. She asked Mr. Lorry to bring them a carriage. Dr.
Manette slept in Lucie's arm peacefully as a child. They
drove out of France, out of danger while Madame Defarge
was watching them but seemed as if she was busy knitting
and noticed nothing.

The Trail

Five years later, Mr. Lorry, Dr. Manette and Lucie

had to go to the court house, old Bailey, as witnesses in a
treason case as Charles Darnay, a Frenchman, was
accused of being a spy for France against England.
Charles Darnay used to travel a lot between
England and France but John Barsad, who said he was his
friend, suspected him so he informed against him. His
servant, Roger Cly, found lists of the English armies and
their positions in Darnay's room and in his pockets and
the prisoner showed them to a Frenchman.
Stryver, Darnay's lawyer, cross-examined Barsad
and Cly and proved that they were distrusted people as
they went to prison before and they worked as spies for the
government to tell against people for money and the lists
were not in Darnay's handwriting.
Mr. Lorry and Dr. Manette's testimonies were not
important as Mr. Lorry said that he saw Darnay on the
ship but Mr. Lorry was sleeping the entire journey and Dr.
Manette could not remember anything. Lucie was sorry to
testify against Darnay as he was kind to her and to her
sick father on the ship. She said she saw Darnay exchange

25

darsenglizy.com
papers with some French people on the ship but she did
not see what was on the papers. Darnay told her that he
traveled between England and France in secret business
under a false name. He also told her that England was
wrong in its war in America.
A witness said that he saw Darnay in a hotel near an
English camp. Sydney Carton, the lawyer's assistant, who
seemed to be careless and looked at the ceiling all the time
gave Stryver a piece of paper that he looked exactly like
Darnay. The lawyer showed the court the likeness between
Darnay and Carton which made the people suspected their
own eyes if the witness saw Darnay, Carton or a third
person who looked like them in the hotel near the English
camp.
Although Carton was untidy and seemed to be
careless as he was looking at the ceiling all the time, he
noticed that Lucie was going to faint and asked the officer
next her to help her. Darnay was announced to be
innocent.

Sydney Carton

After the court everybody congratulated Darnay for

being saved. He thanked Stryver for saving his life and
honour from that false but dangerous accusation. Dr.
Manette looked frightened on looking at Darnay‟s face as if
he remembered a terrible thing and looked very ill.
Carton was left alone with Darnay who thanked him
for saving his life but Carton turned against Darnay and
talked to him in an unfriendly way. He told Darnay that he
hated his life and wished he did not belong to the world as
it had nothing good for him nor he was good for the world.
Carton told Darnay that Lucie pitied him and cried for him
and Carton wished to lose his life to make Lucie pity him.
Carton turned against Carton because both looked
alike in appearance but Darnay had a better life with
people around him but Carton cared for no one nor anyone
cared for him. Carton was always jealous of Darnay as he
felt Lucie loved him while Carton was attracted by her but
she did not feel him.
Carton went to Stryver‟s office where he worked
with Stryver. Carton was in a very bad mood that he
attacked Stryver when Stryver told him that Carton was

33

darsenglizy.com
good at the questions he prepared which defeated the
witness and saved Darnay‟s life. Carton told Stryver that
he had always been better than the other since he was at

Lucie and Dr. Manette. She was a self denial woman who
wanted everyone around her to be happy no matter how
tired she was and she was far better than many ladies who
used to come to Tellson‟s bank.
Mr. Lorry knew that Dr. Manette still kept the shoe
making tools which were suffering reminder. Miss Pross
told him that he kept them because he was afraid to lose
his memory again; he wanted something to do then. She
told Mr. Lorry that Dr. Manette sometimes relapsed and
walked his room up and down restlessly. Lucie used to
walk beside him not to feel that he was alone and did not
talk to him until he became well again.
Mr. Lorry had dinner with Dr. Manette and Lucie.
Darnay came to see Dr. Manette. During their
conversation, Darnay told them of a story of an old man,
Darnay heard while he was in prison as that old man wrote
the „Dig‟ in his cell. When they dug the floor after his
death, they found remains of a leather bag and ashes of
some paper. That story affected Dr. Manette so much that

became well again.
5-What was the echo in Dr. Manette's house?
At one corner in one of the rooms at Dr. Manette's house a
sound of echoes of footsteps was heard. The writer might
use that echo as a symbol to represent the idea that new
people were going to join that family and that referred to
Darnay who was going to marry Lucie. The writer might
use that echo to represent the footsteps of people in France
who were moving toward their revolution.
6-How did the writer symbolize the storm?

suffering!”

of making shoes in Dr. Manette‟s bedroom and was very
surprised to see that box there. When Miss Pross appeared
suddenly, she told him not to wonder of anything. They
began talking about Lucie and Dr Mannette.
9-“Is it not impressive, sometimes I have sat here at an
evening and imagined those echoes to be the echoes of
all the footsteps that are coming sooner or later into
our lives.”
These words were said by Lucie to Mr. Darnay when they
spent the night looking at the rain and seeing people
running everywhere in the street looking for shelter from
the heavy rain. Lucie imagined new people joined her
family in future. So did Carton who expected to have more
people join him. I think these echoing refer to footsteps
everywhere even in France, the footsteps of the revolution
in France inform the rain about its birth soon.

The accident in Paris

The Marquis of Evrémonde ordered the carter to

Saint Antoine. People ran like rats for their lives in front of
the carriage but the wheels passed over a little child killing
him. The Marquis was annoyed as the father of the child
was crying loudly over his killed son. People were watching
but afraid to show their anger at the Marquis who threw a
gold coin at the father of the killed child and blamed the
people for being in the way of the carriage and the horse
could be harmed. Defarge asked Gaspard, the father of the
child, to be brave as his son was lucky to die in a moment
without pain but he would have live through pain. The
Marquis liked Defarge‟s words and threw a coin at him but
Defarge threw the coin back at him. The Marquis got angry
and threatened to ride over the people.
The Marquis drove through the village to his
castle. It was a very poor village where there were no dogs.
The villagers were made poor by the so many taxes they
had to pay. They had to pay taxes for the church, taxes for
the land, local taxes and general taxes.

told Charles to live on his new philosophy as believed.
8-“Why does he make that terrible noise? Is it his
child?” Comment.

hit the boy and when he heard someone crying “Dead and
killed”. The marquis dealt with the matter easily as if he

father of the boy thinking it was enough to compensate
that sad father.

take care of yourslaves and your children. One or the
other of you is forever in the way. How do I know what
injury you have done my horses? See! Give him that.”
Comment.
These words were said by the marquis to people in Saint
Antoine square near the fountain where Gaspard‟s son was
hit by the cart. The marquis blamed the people for being
lazy and careless. They couldn‟t be careful and hurt his
horses. He threw a gold coin for the driver to be given to
Gaspard who cried “Dead” till his friend Defarge came to
comfort him.

It’s better for the little thing to die so, than to live”.

the event, he tried to comfort Gaspard to be brave. The
marquis was interested in his way of speech; he called
Defarge a philosopher and threw a gold coin for him. When
the marquis got ready to leave, the coins were thrown back
into his cart which angered him to stop calling them dogs
but no one said a word as he threatened to crush him

considered Sebastian, to be lucky to die in a moment

The roadmender

Gaspard was arrested by the police for killing the

Marquis after a year and half. He was taken to the
Marquis‟ village to be hanged. Defarge did not attend the
execution because he went to the king with a plea to
forgive Gaspard telling the king that he lost his mind for
the death of his son but Defarge was kept away from the
king‟s procession by blows and kicks. The road mender
told the Jacques that Gaspard was beaten, tortured and
kept in a cage in the village for seven days before he was
hanged in very high gallows in the square of the village to
be seen by everyone.
The Jacques decided to put all the Evrémonde and
their castle in the list of destruction which was a list in
which the Jacques wrote the names of the people they
wanted to kill when they succeeded in their revolution. The
Jacques were afraid that the list would be lost but Defarge
told them that his wife knitted it in her mind and she
would never lose a letter of it. Jacques blamed Defarge for
agreeing to take the road mender to see the king‟s
procession but Defarge told them that the road mender
was like many others of the common people who did not

71

darsenglizy.com
know their enemies so it would be important for them to let
him see and know their enemies.

the nobles believe that people loved them not to take care
of any action against them.

The spy

Defarge and his wife talked about an English spy

sent by the government to spy over the people of Saint
Antoine. Madam Defarge studied his descriptions.
Defarge was worried about their revolution and
wished to see it in his life time. Madame Defarge asked him
to be patient as revenge would take time.
The spy arrived at Defarge's wine shop. Madame
Defarge knew him. She pinned a rose to her hair to warn
people against him so people began to leave the shop.
The spy tried to get any useful information from
Madame Defarge but he failed. He told her that people
were angry for Gaspard's bad end but Madame Defarge
told him that Gaspard used a knife to kill and paid for it.
He told her that people were poor and suffered the want
but she told him that she and her husband had the wine
shop and did not suffer.
The spy also failed with Defarge but he told Defarge
that he knew everything about him. The spy told Defarge
that Lucie Manette was going to marry the new Marquis,
Charles the Evrémonde, who lived in England under the
name of Darnay.

coming to Saint Antoine Square. He was an English about
40 years old. Madame Defarge knew his name as John
Barsad. She decided to register him.

told her that people suffered hunger and poverty, she told
him that she and her husband had the wine shop and did
not suffer poverty. The spy wanted to get her to talk when
he told her that people were angry for Gaspard's execution,
she told him that Gaspard held a knife and killed so he
had to bear the result.

husband, he swam over some topics to cover his
discomfort; he told them about Dr Manette when he was
brought to Defarge (by whom: the government) so he
allowed his daughter to take him to England.
He also told them about her upcoming marriage to the new
marquis in London, the unknown marquis of Evrémondes
as the marquis in Paris was killed by Gaspard, Barsad
related Gaspard‟s death to the marquis in Paris to the new
marquis in London who was called Charles Darnay so,
both Madame Defarge and her husband were embarrassed.
They were afraid that Barsad came again after leaving
them.

78

darsenglizy.com
6-“JOHN, stay long enough, and I shall knit” “BARSAD,
before you go.”
These words were said by Madame Defarge in the wine
shop when Barsad went there as a spy to get information
for the nobles. As he was talking to Madame Defarge she
was knitting his name completely in her memory or
register. She promised him secretly in her self-talk to
register him.
7-“I believe that there is much sympathy and danger in
this neighbourhood about this poor fellow.”
These words were said by John Barsad in the wine shop
when he talked about poor Gaspard as a way to know how
much the people in Saint Antoine felt sympathy for
Gaspard. Madame Defarge cunningly replied saying that if
people used knives for such purposes, they had to pay for
it. He (Gaspard) knew beforehand what the price would be
and he had paid the price. Then John Basard changed his
plan when Mr Defarge came.
8-“Her husband’s destiny will take him where he is to
go and will lead to the end that’s to end him.” / “I

to prison told what happened to him and why he went to
prison. He wrote those papers when he felt that his mind
began to be affected by his imprisonment. He used a nail
and his blood mixed with the dust from the chimney.
His story began when he was a doctor and was
asked by the Evrémondes to see a case. When he went into
a country house he heard shouts of a woman who cried
calling her husband, her brother and counted from 1 to 12
and said hush. She repeated that over and over. The
doctor gave her some medicine to keep her calm but he
knew that she would die. Then, one of the Evrémondes
asked him to see another case in another room. He was a
young man who was wounded badly in his stomach and
bleeding. He told the doctor that one of the two brothers
the Evrémondes wanted his sister, who was in the other
room, for himself but she loved her husband. They gave
her ill husband too much work day and night until he
died. They took his sister by force so his father died in
grief. When the young man came to help his sister, one of
the Evrémondes stabbed him. The young man had one

Questions & Answers
1-Inspite of helping Dr. Manette, Defarge destroyed the
doctor's life.
Defarge was Dr. Manette's servant. He helped the doctor
when Defarge hid and protected him after getting out of
prison but he used the papers that Dr. Manette about his
story of imprisonment and used Dr. Manette's name to
accuse Charles Darnay of being an enemy of the republic
to bring Darnay to the guillotine.
2-How did madam Defarge knit Darnay's death well?
She kept the papers which Dr. Manette about Darnay's
family and how they were cruel to people. She used them
in a good time when Darnay was released from prison. She
prepared the judges and the jury to be sure that they
would sentence Darnay to death.
3- The Evrémondes represented the worst of the
aristocrats. Explain
The Evrémondes were oppressors and cruel that they
thought that the poor farmers were among their properties
and The Evrémondes could control their life and death
without being questions. The marquis killed a boy under
the feet of his horses but cared for the horse not for the
killed child. Nothing could stand between them and their
pleasure. They destroyed a poor family and caused the

death of a young beautiful woman whom the marquis
wanted for himself, her husband, her baby, her father and
her brother.
4-Darnay was lucky to be affected by his mother not by
his father or his uncle. Explain
Darnay's mother was a kind woman who hated the wrongs
her husband and his brother did. She was always worried
about her son and that he would pay for the cruelty of his
family. She asked Dr. Manette to help her to find the little
girl whose family was destroyed by The Evrémondes. She
brought up her son Charles to be kind to poor people and
correct the wrongs the Evrémondes did. Darnay grew up to
be a real kind gentleman. He hated the oppression and the
injustice of his father and uncle against the poor people.
He thought that his family's name was the most hated in
France because of their cruelty. He hated their wealth
because it was collected out of the poor people's blood and
misery. He wished to give it to the poor when he became a
marquis. He left his wealth to the poor people and earned
his living by teaching the French language in London. He
lived in London using his mother's family name 'Darnay'
but he came to France to obey his mother's last wish to
correct the wrong his father and uncle did.

Mr. Lorry gives a promise

Lucie stretched her hand and wanted to reach

Darnay and kiss him. Dr. Manette wanted to kneel in front
of Darnay to show how he was sorry because his papers
were the cause of Darnay's execution but Darnay held him
and apologized for what his family did against Dr. Manette
and thanked Dr. Manette for accepting Darnay's marriage
although he knew what his family was but Dr. Manette put
his daughter's happiness before his and above his pain.
Darnay was taken away and Lucie fainted. Carton
appeared from his dark corner and carried her home. Dr.
Manette would do his best to save Darnay but neither
Carton nor Mr. Lorry had hope.
Carton went away and decided to make himself seen in the
area to make people know that there was a man who
looked exactly like Darnay. He went to Defarge's wine shop
where madam Defarge was shocked to see the likeness
between him and Darnay. She knew he was English who
did not understand French. He heard her, her husband
and some Jacques talking. He heard madam Defarge
talking about her plans that she would not stop until she
destroyed all the family of the Evrémondes. She wanted

143

darsenglizy.com
Lucie to watch her husband being killed by the guillotine
and then would accuse her of being a friend of an enemy of
the republic because she saw her and Dr. Manette waving
for Darnay while he was in prison. She would also accuse
little Lucie of being one of the Evrémondes. She would
arrest Lucie after the guillotine, the following day. Madam
Defarge already prepared the judges and the jury to give
the desired sentence. Defarge asked his wife to stop her
revenge but she told him that she would never stop
because the destroyed family in Dr. Manette's story was
hers and she was the little girl who was lost.
Carton went to Mr. Lorry's house to see what Dr. Manette
could do to save Darnay but he found that Dr. Manette
relapsed and lost his memory. He was looking for his shoe
making tools, the bench and the unfinished shoe. Carton
took Dr. Manette's papers and gave them to Mr. Lorry. He
gave Mr. Lorry his own papers as an English lawyer and
asked him to take the Manettes and travel before the
guillotine because it was dangerous for them to stay. He
told Mr. Lorry to wait for him in front of Darnay's prison
because he would visit Darnay and they would leave to
England. He made Mr. Lorry promise to follow his
instructions to save the Manette's.

 Chapter 27
The Guillotine

The death carts were passing through the streets for

people to watch the people who were going to be guillotined
but it was a usual sight for most of the people because
they got used to it. One of the people on the way insulted
the Evrémonde but Barsad asked the man to be kind and
leave the Evrémonde because he was going to pay for his
crime. The Revenge (Vengeance) was looking for madam
Defarge to watch the Evrémonde. The dressmaker was
holding Carton's hand as they helped each other to bear
that terrible time. She wanted to be killed before Carton.
They kissed each other and were the numbers 22 and 23
to the other world. People said that they never saw a
calmer or more peaceful face than that of Carton's.
If Carton had a chance to talk, he would say that he
could see the better future of France with more tolerant
and kinder people. He could see a long raw of bad people
like Barsad, Cly, Defarge, the judges and the jury in front
of the guillotine. He could see the bright future of England
and Lucie as an old woman remembering Carton and
crying for him. She would have a son and give him the

171

name of Carton's. He could see himself living a far better
life than the present life.

Questions & Answers

1-Why did the carts of the convicted people wander the
streets of Paris?
To make a show of them before sending them to the
guillotine.
2-How were people’s feeling towards those carts?
The inhabitants in Paris got used to that scene. People
were having different reactions. Some were putting heads
down, some were closing their eyes thinking about the
acts, only one was a miserable creature who was in horror
but tried to dance and sing. All people had no appeal of
pity or mercy towards the people in the tumbrels.
3-Why was the Vengeance nervous?
The enemy who she waited his end for a long time but in
vain, she never came for ever to see the end.

4-What were Carton’s thoughts for the future?

three, the juryman, the judges to be crashed down by the
guillotine before it ended its use. He thought of Dr Manette
lived to be old and bent. He thought of Mr. Lorry to be a

171

darsenglizy.com
friend forever to the family. He also thought of Lucie to
weep for him at the same time yearly. He thought of a boy
carrying his name, doing better in future making his name
famous, wading away all his bad deeds. Of course, a nice
future would be, was his hope in his inner self. Carton was
an end for an endless memory in the history of that scene.
5-“But for you, dear stranger, I would not be so calm
for I am naturally a poor little thing, faint of heart. I
think you were sent to me by heaven.” Comment.
