A Tale of Two Cities
As my desk-mate told me about the love story of the book, I was attracted by it.So it is the reason why I want to read this book and share it with you.‘A Tale of Two Cities’ is one book of ‘Charles Dickens’, a 19th century English writer who often criticize the society of England and realism.The novel is mainly about exposing the society contradiction before the French Revolution and indicating the fate of England which will be the same as France.It is obvious that the two cities are Paris and London and the story happened between these two cities.It happened in one evening of December, 1757.Dr.Manatee was forced to pay a home visit by Marquis St.Evremonde.At the home of Marquis St.Evremonde the honest and kind doctor saw the mercile killing affair, ‘Marquis St.Evremonde brothers raped a beautiful peasant woman just for momentary carnal pleasure and killed her whole family and a teenager who was hurt by the sword’.The doctor refused to receive the bribery and sent a meage to the government to impeach the Marquis St.Evremonde.But it was so unfortunately that the meage was hold by the Marquis St.Evremonde.So he was sent to prison.His wife died two years later and his daughter Lucie Manatee was brought up by his good friend Jarvis Lorry and was token care of by Mi Pro.18 years later, his daughter found him and took him away from the prison to England with the help of Jarvis Lorry.They lived a happy live there.During the day staying in London, Lucie encountered Charles Dannay and fell in love with each other.When Dr.Manatee found that Charles Dannay was the son of Marquis St.Evremonde, he didn’t break up this couple of love.But he forgave Charles Dannay with his kindheartedne.Because Charles Dannay was a good man who was different from his father.He escapes from his family with changing
his name and gave up inheriting the family’s big fortune.Dr.Manatee’s old servants, the Defrags, were the leader of the French Revolution.His hotel was the point of revolutionary activities.They hated vicious aristocrats and wrote down all bad things these aristocrats had done to take revenge in the later days.Because of it, Charles Dannay was innocently involved in and was sent to prison two times.The first time he was fortunately saved by lawyer.As he was arrested back to the prison, the paralegal, Sydney Carton, who also loved Lucie volunteered to get into the prison to substitute Dannay to die because of he was so similar to Mr.Dannay.In the end Dannay and Lucie lived with each other happily.I like this moving story, especially the selfle Sydney Carton.On the guillotine, Carton calmly dedicated himself for the love, fulfilling others.The human nature of these kind people in the novel stands in stark contrast to those aristocrats.The novel describe vividly about the evil of those aristocrats.For an instance, Marquis St.Evremonde always tyrannized the poor people and did everything he wants to do.One day, when he rode crazily in the carriage as if nothing was being occurred his carriage ran over a farmer’s child.Because of it, finally, the child’s father slew him with the sword.It indicated that the storm of a revolution s brewing.The novel profoundly revealed that the French revolution deeply has sharpened the social contradictions, and strongly attacked the noble cla's diolute brutality, and deeply sympathized with the sufferings of the working-cla people.The author also pointedly said, people's patience is limited.Under the noble cla's brutal regime, if people want to live they must raise up against the noble.And this resistance is justice.Of course, the book has described the spectacular scene working-cla people fought against the Bastille and expreed the people's great strength.The author stood in the
humanitarian standpoint, against cruel oppreion of people's tyranny, and also against the revolutionary people’s extreme violence.So what the real things the author wants to expre is on the basis of the love between of the young couple, Lucie and Dannay.The one was a victim of the noble’s tyranny but was also tolerant;the other one was the heir of the noble but also claimed of love.With the maintenance of love, they form a mutual understanding, happy and harmonious family.This is obviously that the author thought that the love between people was the only way to resolve social contradictions against the idea of a violent revolution from the rational thinking and humanitarian position.After reading the book, there are two people who give me deep impreion.One is the father of child who was killed by carriage.He was so poor when he lost his child.But the bad noble, Marquis St.Evremonde, never felt guilt, even throw very few pounds to comfort him.So he was too angry to stand it.So he killed Marquis St.Evremonde at a night without thinking about the terrible consequence.It is just because of the love of a father.If I was the mother of that child, and I would do the same thing as him to revenge as in that period we had no other way to find the justice.The other one is Sydney Carton.He loved Lucie so much that he could die for her.Some people may think he was so stupid.But I think his love was selfle.If I was the one who he loved and I loved him, I will be the happiest girl in the world.And I want to emphasize again that it is the reason why I want to read this book.There are evil people everywhere, but more good people.Love and hate, killing affairs and saving lives, all of these exist.What we can do is to be good to others but not to damage others.Then the world will become more and more harmonious.
