After ReadingA Tale of Two Cities

A tale of two cities is one of Dickens's most important representative works.The story is set in London and Paris at the time of the great French Revolution.It shows the causes of revolution and its effects on people's everyday lives.Before the revolution, the King and the aristocracy treated their people cruelly in France.The common people were extremely poor and miserable.The crops in the fields were poor as if even the land shared the misery of the people.And there were so heavy taxes that all the villagers had nothing to hand over at last.On the other hand, the aristocracy made their will as the law by using money and gold.There were no justice, no equality and no fairne.The novel has portrayed two pairs of vivid people, who I like most, one pair is Dr.Manette and Mr.Cardon, and another is Mi Pro and Mrs.Defarge.Because of his occupation, Dr.Manette has witneed Marquis Evremonde brothers’ crimes.And he wrote to the Minister to show the crime what Marquis Evremonde had done, resulting in himself being arrested and sent to the prison Bastille without any reason.Much as he suffered, Dr.Manette didn’t have any idea of revenge.When he was free, Dr.Manette just went back to Briton with his only daughter Lucie.However, the story didn’t come to an end.Lucie married a man, who was the son of Marqui Evremonde, Darnay.For Lucie’ happine, Dr.Manette had forgave all the defense Darnay’ family do to him, even in the following future, tried to rescue Darnay from the Bastille.The qualities in Dr.Manette(bravene, self-surrenderne and reality)are the indispensable content among Dickens’s morel criteria.At the first glance of Mr.Cardon, I don’t like this guy at all.Although Mr.Cardon wasn’t a hero, there was always a mysterious color around him.Mr.Cardon had a good education, but still couldn’t succeed in his carrel.In the normal life, Mr.Cardon was a young man with confusion.It was on the trial of Darnay that Mr.Cardon’s talent functioned the first time.He found that they had a similar face, which was crucial in his defend for Darnay.That was a prerequisite for his rescuing Darnay in the end.Even if he was considered degenerate by the upper cla in the society, or in other words, showed a low standard of morals or behaviors, Mr.Cardon had reserved a place for the girl he loved and for his dream.In that cruel revolution, Mr.Cardon sacrificed his own life for the girl he loves, Lucie.Dickens holds that love ship of this kind which is at the expense of life is recall to life, as God says,“one believe me would be immortal.” From Mr.Cardon, especially the prayer he said before execution, we can see the loyalty towards God, both Mr.Cardon and Dickens.Mi Pro was one of those women who thought nothing of their own needs and who, through pure love and admiration, are ready to make themselves slaves to youth when they have lost it, to beauty which they have never had, and to bright hopes that have never shone upon their own dark lives.We could see it at many very trivial thing.For example, Mi Pro rushed into the room as she heard Lucie was n’t well, when Lucie met Mr.Jarvis Lorry the first time.“ And you in brown!” she said, indignantly

turning to Mr.Lorry;“couldn’t you tell her what you had to tell her, without frightening her to death? Look at her, with pale face and her cold hands.Do you call that being a Banker?” Mi Pro love Lucie sincerely.As Mr.Lorry said, “there is nothing better in the world than the honest service of the heart”.Since Mi Pro had become like a mother to Lucie and would have given her life for her, she would do everything she could to keep Mrs.Defarge in the house so that the carriage carrying Lucie could run farther.Compared to Mi Pro, Mrs.Defarge was a woman who was almost controlled by her hatred.General speaking, Mrs.Defarge was a woman with a very keen eye, a strong face and a great calmne of manner.The most impreive impreion Mrs.Dafarge left to me was the never-finished knitting.I was wandering how Mrs.Defarge knitted those names of whom they considered to be enemy.Mrs.Defarge’s father, brother and sisters were killed by Evremonde brothers.When the French Revolution broke out, it was her who led the woman and cut off the head of the governor of the prison.Mrs.Defarge had a strong, fearle and a kind of beauty that called attention to her qualities.She had grown up with a deep sense of wrong and a powerful hatred of the aristocracy;any pity that she once may have had was now dead.To her, Darnay's family must be destroyed;the wife and child must follow the father.So to speak, through her death, Dickens expreed his humanitarianism.Though we may fell sympathy with those suffering common people ,that doesn’t mean that whatever they do is justified.It is easy to find that Dickens has the same attitude towards them as us.While these four figures are not all the most important figures among so many people in this novel, they have certain characteristic attracting me.07 外 四
