chapter 10 "At heart by decent an Aristocrat, an enemy of the Republic. Death within thwenty four hours323."
Darnay is being put to death for his families wrong doings and it shows how unjust times were. Though it was not Darnay he will be dead the next day.
chapter 11 "The wrenched wife of the innocent man thus doomed to die, fell under the sentence, as if she has been mortally stricken323."
Dickens shows much compasion through the character of Lucie. He generates real life feelings through her. This shows Dickens soft sad and that people are sensitive.
Chapter 9: “Not much. If it should go ill with the prisoner, I have ensured access to him, once. It is all I could do. To propose too much, would be to put this man’s head under the axe, and, he himself said, nothing worse could happen to him if he were denounced. There is no help for it (297).”
Chapter 10: “Unanimously voted. At heart and by descent an Aristocrat, an enemy of the Republic. Death within four-and-twenty hours! (323)”
Chapter 11: “Yes, he will perish: there is no real hope,’ echoed Carton (328).”
"Charles Evremonde, called Darnay. Released yesterday. Re-accused and retaken yeesterday. Suspected and Denounced enemy of the Respublic, Aristocrat, one of a family of tyrants, one of a race proscribed, for that they had used their abolished privelages to the infamous oppression of the people. Charles Everemonde, called Darnay, in right of such proscription, absolutely Dead in Law." (Page 305)
The judges are accusing Charles Darnay of being an aristocrat and abusing their privelages. Dickens is conveying his thoughts on the theme of wealth versus poverty in this little mini-speech.
chapter 10
"And all the worse for the doomed man, that the denouncer was a well-known citizen, his own attached friend, the father of his wife, that the good physician of the Republic would deserve bettter still of the Republic by rooting out an obnoxiou family of Aristocrats, there was wild excitement, patriotic fervour, not a touch of human sympathy." (Page 322)
Dickens is again trying to convey the theme of rich versus poor in this quote. Everybody is happy when Darnay is sentenced to death instead of sad.
chapter 11
"The wretched wife of the innocent man thus doomed to die, fell under the sentence, as if she had been morally stricken." (323)
One of the major themes in the novel is love. Dickens is trying to emphasise how much love there is between Darnay and Lucie through Lucie's reaction to Darnay's death sentence.
Chapter 9 “I have won myself a tender place in no regard; I have done nothing good of serviceable to be remembered by (299)!” This quote refers to the topic of the theme of love. Carton knows that he must die to keep the love of Darnay and Lucie alive Chapter 10 “He had offered me money which I had postponed taking. He know gave me a rouleau of gold. I took it from his hand but laid it on the table. Pray excuse me, said I but under the circumstances, no (319).” This quote shows that the wealth of Evermonde made him believe that he could get away with murder. Chapter 11 “I can bear it, dear Charles. I am supported from above: don’t suffer for me. A parting blessing for our child (324).” This quote shows the love between Charles and Lucie.
A- “If you could say, with truth, to your own solitary heart, tonight, ‘I have secured to myself the love and attachment , the gratitude or respect, of no human creature; I have won myself a tender place in no regards; I have done nothing good of serviceable to be remembered by!’ your seventy-eight years would be seventy-eight heavy curses; would they not (299)?” B- The topic of this quote is love C- Dickens’ message is that a life without love is not a real life; it is a curse and a waste of time.
A- “And all the worse for the doomed man, that the denouncer was a well-known citizen, his own attached friend, the father of his wife, that the good physician of the Republic would deserve better still of the Republic by rooting out an obnoxious family of Aristocrats, there was wild excitement, patriotic fervour, not a touch of human sympathy (322).” B- The topic is portrayed as underhandedness C- Usually, underhanded and vulgar actions work out properly, but karma will eventually catch up to those who commit the actions.
A- “A life you love (326).” B- Love is the topic of this selection. C- Through these words, Dickens could be saying many things. He could be saying love your daughter, love your own life, or he could be saying to just cherish all lives as if they were your own world and your own life.
Chapter 9: "It was not a reckless manner, the manner in which he said these words aloud. It was the settled manner of a tiered man, who had wandered and struggled and got lost, but who at length struck into his road and saw its end (page 302)".
Throughout a Tale of Two cities, Mr Darnay has remained a sad and depressing character. He believes that his life has been wasted, and has no hopes or plans for the future. He merely goes along with everything that Mr. Stryver says, because he himself does not know what to do for himself. The topic of the theme in chapter nine of the novel, in redemption. Mr. Carton has not been the best of characters, but he is about to turn around his life for the better. The author is foreshadowing this by comparing Mr. Carton to an old man who had been lost, but had at length found the correct road, and now finally saw its end.
Chapter 10: "I, Alexander Manette, denounce to the times when all these things shall be answered for. I denounce them to Heaven and to earth (Page 322)".
Alexander Manette has suffered many hardships throughout his life. He had started with a happy life that had a bright future, but he had been cheated by fate, and had been wrongfully imprisoned for eighteen years. At this time he had grown bitter, and had come to hate the people who had caused him his pain and grief. As a result of this, he denounces the entire Evermonde family. His hate and anger can be compared to another character in the novel, Mrs. Defarge. Mrs. Defarge, in her days, had also seen many cruel and unusual sights that she should not have been witness to. Yet the outcome of these two characters differs greatly. Dr. Manette learns how to release his madness, and retire into a life of happiness. This is the exact opposite of what Mrs. Defarge does. She takes all of her anger and releases it into a ball of hate and violence. The topic of the theme, and the author's message therefore, was that experiences can shape a person, but in the end it is how the person chooses to act that defines them.
Chapter 11: "Yet there was an air about him that was not all of pity-that had a flush of pride in it (page 324)".
Charles Darnay greatly evolved in the novel A Tale of Two Cities. He went from a drunk, hopeless man, who had lost all faith in humanity and himself, to a man who learned how to love and care for others. Through his anger, he was able to love Lucie for being the opposite of what he was. She was beautiful, kind, and selfless. All these qualities that attracted him to her caused him to love and care for her and her daughter. Because Mr. Carton was able to finally let go of his bitterness and learn how to appreciate another human being, he learned how to sacrifice himself for the good of others, and in this he found a purpose for himself, a sense of self worth.
Ch.9 “You mean the Guillotine. Not ill. Sixty-three today. We shall mount to a hundred soon. Samson and his men complain sometime, of being exhausted. Ha, ha, ha! He is so droll, that Samson (300).”
Ch.10 “Doctor, they are very proud, these Nobles; but we common dogs are proud too, sometimes. They plunder us, outrage us, beat us, kill us; but we have a little pride left, sometimes. She – have you seen her, Doctor (313)?”
Ch.11 “It was remembered afterwards that when he bent down and touched her face with his lips, he murmured some words. The child who was nearest to him, told them afterwards, and told her grand-children when she was a handsome old lady, that she heard him say ‘A life you love (326).’”
Chapter 9 “‘Good night, citizen, How goes the republic?’ ‘You mean the guillotine. Nott ill. Sixty-three today. We shall mount to a hundred soon’”(300).
Topic: Violence in the French Revolution. Theme: Sometimes, an action with good intentions (the revolution) can turn into a bloody mess
Chapter 10 “I, Alexandre Manette, denounce to the time when all these things shall be answered for. I denounce the m to heaven and earth”(322).
Topic: Vengeance Theme: Sometimes going through a difficult period can cause people to loose their sympathy and thirst for retribution.
Chapter 11 “Let her embrace him then; it is only but a moment”(324)
Topic: Natural Compassion Theme: Sometimes, people can show their natural compassion even when surrounded by hate and violence
"In a city dominated by the axe, alone at night, with natural sorrow rising in him for the sixty three who had been that day put to death (320)."
France has become chaos. Its only function is to kill, they are no longer a country. Carton, already naturally depressed, absorbs all of this negative energy in his lonely walk. He still shows ambition to resolve his useless life.
Chapter 10
"And all the worse for the doomed man, that the denouncer was a well known citizen, his own attached friend, the father of his wife (323)."
Dickens is portraying the evil of his novel. Darnay is being sentenced to death, and Manette has to live knowing he killed his wife's beloved husband.
Chapter 11
"Yes, He will perish: there is no real hope, echoed Carton (328)."
All is lost for Darnay. Even Carton, the man who has been sought out to be his heroic savior has given up. The gruesomeness of Dickens is highlighted in the last few chapters.
William Gould Book 3 quotes Chapter 9 “As to what is dearer to you then life, nothing can be so dear to a good citizen as the republic. If the republic should demand of you the sacrifice of your child herself, you would have no duty but to sacrifice her (305)” Topic National pride Theme: Sometimes in life the arrogance of a country can diminish the power of the individual.
Chapter 10 “Much influence around him has that doctor?’ murmured Madame Defarge, smiling to the Vengeance ‘save him now, my Doctor, save him (322-323).” Topic: Vengeance Theme: Revenge dynamically changes people, usually for the worst
Chapter 11 “The wretched wife of the innocent man thus doomed to die, fell under the sentence, as if she had been morally stricken. But; she uttered no sound and so strong was the voice within her, representing that it was she of all the world who must uphold him in his misery and not augment it, that it quickly raised her, even from that shock (323)” Topic: Tragedy and Hardship Theme: Sometimes in life people grow stronger through tragedy to help those who have been hurt.
CH. 9 Theme: Sacrifice/reawakening "His mother had died, years before. These solemn words, which had been read at his father's grave, arose in his mind as he went down the dark streets, among the heavy shadows, with the moon and the clouds sailing on high above him.

CH. 11 Theme: Love "It was remembered after wards that when he bent down and touched her face with his lips, he murmured some word. The child, who was nearest to him, told them afterwords, and told her gramd-children when she was a handsome old lady, that she heard him say, 'A life you love' (326)."
CH. 11 Theme: Trial & Justice "Nothing connected with Charles was concealed from me. I had the strongest assurances that i should save him; and i did (326)."
9."President, I indignantly protest to you that this is a forgery and a fraud. You know the accused to be the husband of my daughter. Who and where is the false conspirator who says that I denounce the husband of my child!"305
The quote shows the theme of the random unfairness of the new French government. They put many to death and in jail because of one possibly untruthful denouncement.
10."In the days when all these things are to be answered for, I summon you and yours, to the end of yours, to the last of your bad race, to answer for them. In the days when all these things are to be answered for. In the days when all these things are to be answered for i summon your brother the worst of the bad race to answer to them seperately. I mark this cross of blood upon him, as a sign that I do that."
Darnay is going to be put to death due to a family line. Even though Darnay doesn't believe in his families deeds. The Topic is that during France there was a great deal of false persecution.
11. "Yes, he will perish: there is no real hope ,echoed Carton."328
Theme of the quote is that the French are ruthless and that even Darnay is held accountable for his fathers deeds. It shos the real evil at the time. The evil of the people.
Chapter 9 “Mr. Lorry, who had never seen the better side of him, was wholly unprepared for, he gave him his hand, and Carton gently presses it (297).”
Theme: rebirth -Sometimes in life, acceptance can eliminate jealously and spark a caring for those you have never cared for.
Chapter 10 “I say, we were so robbed, and hunted, and were so poor, that our father told us it was a dreadful thing to bring a child into the world, and that what we should most pray for, was, that our women might be barren and our miserable race die out (314)!”
Theme: Social oppression -Sometimes in life, constant oppression and degradation can lead a people to turn on themselves and subject themselves to such beliefs.
Chapter 11 “Now that you have come, I think you will do something to help mamma, something to save papa!”
