  • A TALE of TWO CITIES Charles Dickens June 1St 1859
    A TALE OF TWO CITIES Charles Dickens June 1st 1859 OVERVIEW: Written against the backdrop of the French Revolution, A Tale Of Two Cities has become one the most promoted literary works in human history. In the fictional tale, author Charles Dickens focuses primarily on the themes of resurrection and social justice. - - - - - - - - - BOOK ONE: At the outset, Dickens portends to the book’s overarching plot: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” In 1775, a man flags down the nightly mail-coach on its route from London to Dover. The man is Jerry Cruncher, an employee of Tellson's Bank in London; he carries a message for Jarvis Lorry, a passenger and one of the bank's managers. Mr. Lorry sends Jerry back to deliver a cryptic response to the bank: "Recalled to Life." The message refers to Alexandre Manette, a French physician who has been released from the Bastille after an 18-year imprisonment.

  • Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities: Summary
    Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities: Summary - THEME Analysis SUMMARY: In the novel A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, the author uses many minor characters. Although labeled “minor”, these characters contribute fully, and are essential to the depth and excitement of the novel. Three such characters are: Miss Pross, Gaspard, and Jerry Cruncher. These three characters take on a couple different roles, depending on what point in the novel one is at. From the beginning, and throughout the novel, Miss Pross plays a simple role. She takes care of Lucie Manette. A simple role it may seem to be, but she adds humor to the story from the offset. Once Lucie and Dr. Manette have returned to England, after Dr. Manette’s imprisonment, Miss Pross continues to take an influential role in the story. She is constantly looking after Lucie and this includes Miss Pross attempting to discourage any suitors. Miss Pross is quite successful at appearing and acting in a commanding and intimidating manner. An example of this is when Mr. Lorry came to visit at the Manette’s home; “…Miss Pross, the wild red woman, strong of hand…`I don’t want dozens of people who are not all worthy of Ladybird, to come looking after her….to take Ladybird’s affections away from me.'” Miss Pross being part of the novel deepens the plot by providing some humor and giving the reader another side to consider when thinking of Lucie and her several relationships. Gaspard’s purpose in the novel is dissimilar to that of Miss Pross.

  • Summary of “A Tale of Two Cities”
    SUBJECT : ENGLISH B. A. (SUBSIDIARY), PART-II, TOPIC – A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY DR. PRABHAT RANJAN KARN ASSOC. PROF., DEPT. OF ENGLISH, DR. L.K. V. D.COLLEGE, TAJPUR SUMMARY OF “A TALE OF TWO CITIES” The year is 1775. On a mission for his employer, Tellson's Bank, Mr. Jarvis Lorry travels to Dover to meet Lucie Manette. On his way, Mr. Lorry receives a mysterious message and replies with the words "Recalled to life." When they meet, Mr. Lorry reveals to Lucie that her father, Dr. Alexandre Manette, who she thought was dead, is still alive. Dr. Manette had been secretly imprisoned for 18 years in the Bastille, but his former servant Monsieur Defarge, who now owns a wine shop in Paris that is a center of revolutionary activities, has smuggled Dr. Manette out of prison and hidden him in the store's attic. Meanwhile, Defarge's wife, Madame Defarge, secretly encodes the names of the Revolution's enemies into her knitting. Mr. Lorry and Lucie arrive 1 | Page in Paris to find Manette compulsively making shoes in a dark corner—prison has left him insane. Lucie lovingly restores him to himself and they return to London. The year is 1780. In London, Charles Darnay stands trial for treason as a spy. Lucie and Dr. Manette attend, having met Darnay during their return from France. The defense lawyer is Mr. Stryver, but it is his bored-looking associate, Sydney Carton, who wins the case. Carton points out how much he himself resembles Darnay in order to ruin the main witness's credibility.

A Tale of Two Cities Drama. By Dwayne Hartford. Adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens. Cast: 7m., 3w., May be expanded to 25 actors. Set during the terror of the French Revolution, A Tale of Two Cities follows the influence of historical and political upheaval on a small group of individuals: Charles Darnay, a French aris- tocrat who rejects his family and its tradition of terrorizing the lower classes; Dr. Manette, a physician whose 18-year imprisonment in the bastille left him bereft of his senses and a symbolic hero for the masses; Lucie, the daughter of Manette, who unknowingly marries the descendent of her father’s oppressors; Sydney Carton, Darnay’s drunken lawyer who finds meaning in life through an unrequited love for Lucie; and Madame Defarge, a mob leader whose sheer rage at the oppression of the lower classes is woven into her knitting and who schemes for vengeance. Bookended by Darnay’s two trials (the first, a false accusation of spying against the British; the second, a mob trial based on the deeds of Darnay’s ancestors), this adaptation of the Dickens classic explores the relationship between an individual and the historical and political forces that govern his or her times.

  • In Dickens's House: Representation of Women in a Tale of Two Cities
    Lisa Robson The "Angels" in Dickens's House: Representation of Women in A Tale of Two Cities I A Tale of Two Cities is not a woman's text; indeed, there is little chance of its being mistaken for one. In his interpretation of the causes and effects of the French Revolution, Charles Dickens focusses on a patriarchal world of politics and historical development in which men dominate the scene, both privately and publicly. Yet several women characters factor rather importantly in the novel's develop-ment, and, as such, merit close scrutiny. The current body of criticism concerning A Tale of Two Cities concentrates mainly on the political and historical elements of the text, while conspicuously absent is a detailed examination of the female role in Dickens's representation of the Revolution. On the other hand, although various studies of the women in Dickens's fiction have been offered (for example, Michael Slater's Dickens and Women and Sylvia Jarmuth's Dickens' Use of Women in his Novels), most are general in nature and provide little more than a cursory examination of, if they explore at all, the women in A Tale of Two Cities. In this paper, therefore, I intend to present a detailed analysis of the women in this historical novel, particularly the two main female characters, Lucie Manette and Madame Defarge, as well as the most prominent secondary female character, Miss Pross. Specifically, I am concerned with Dickens's manipulation of the angel in the house image as a Victorian representation which idealizes women 312 DALHOUSIE REVIEW for their femininity.
