A book report of a Tale of two Cities
By charles Dickens
A Tale of two Cities occupies a significant place in the canon of Charles Dickens’s works.The story set in Paris France and London England in 1757, Dr.Manette was sent to the Bastille because of a letter which denounced the crimes of the Marquis St.Evremonde.As there was no information about him that everybody thought he was dead.Two years later, his wife was dead for heart-broken and his daughter Lucie Manette was adopted by Jarvis Lorry, one of his friends.With 18 years past, Dr.Manette was released and reserved by his former servant Defarge, a former domestic of Dr.Manette’s who had housed the doctor since his release.Meanwhile, Lucie Manette had grown up and as soon as she knew that her father was still alive she travelled to the French suburb of Saint Antoine.On the way to look for her father, she came acro and fell in love with Charles Evremonde called Darnay.Actually, Darnay was Marquis St.Evremonde’s nephew but knew nothing about his family.Despite of hatred, Dr.Manette agreed to the marriage for the sake of his daughter’s happine.A thunder of revolution was on the way, Defarge’s hotel was the connection for all actions.His wife was eager to revenge and recorded the cruelty of the nobility in the scarf.In 1789, the Revolution finally broke
out, when the Bastille was captured and the King was tried and put to death as well as many other aristocrats.Gabelle, an old servant of Darnay was in danger.And in order to rescue him, Darnay went to France.But when he arrived, the French Revolution was on going.He was arrested but saved by Dr.Manette as the revolutionaries treated Dr.Manette as a heroic.However, when a letter written by Doctor Manette 18 years ago unveiling Evremonde’s cruelty was found, he was rearrested.During this time, Dr.Manette tried to save Darnay, but he relapsed into a trance state and was unable to do anything.Through a series of coincidences, Carton discovered that one of the men who testified against Darnay at his trial several years earlier was working as a spy in France.Carton loved Lucie and determined to sacrifice himself to death to save Darnay.On the day of Darnay’s execution, Carton used his physical resemblance to Darnay and his ability to manipulate the spy to pull off the ultimate sacrifice.He managed to send Darnay out of the prison and into a waiting carriage that also included Dr.Manette, Lucie, and Mr.Lorry.He told no one of his plan, and not even the Manettes knew it.They were waiting in their carriage for Carton, fully expecting that he would join them and that they would leave France in a hurry.The rest of the family was in danger because of Madame Defarge, who wanted to denounce all of them.Actually the peasant that the Evremonde brothers murdered was her brother, and she wanted revenge against Darnay and
his entire family.The spy smuggled Darnay to the waiting carriage, and the family escaped France.Carton, however, went to the guillotine and died for Lucie, fulfilling his promise to her that he would die “to keep a life you love beside you.” Just before he died, he thought to himself that his final act was far better than anything else he had ever done.The story ended with the sacrifice of Carton for the sake of love which has impreed so many readers.And the Manette family managed to escape France and led a happy life.
