What made Charles Darnay think he would be able to do good if he went to France to save Gabelle? What does this show about his overall character?

"Monseigneur was a national blessing, gave a chivalrous tone to things, was a polite example of luxurious and shining life, and a great deal more to equal purpose; nevertheless, Monseigneur as a class had, somehow, or other, brought things to this."

This is an example of parallelism due to the amount of repetition throughout the sentence used to described what a Monseigneur is. What makes it be repetitive is when in the first clause it exclaims how Monseigneur is a name only given to those of honor and elegance. But then as the sentence progresses it keeps on describing how the name is luxurious, shiny to life, and saying it has a great purpose. Continuing the sentence wasn't actually necessary since overall its just repeating what the clause said. So Dickens used this for a purpose and that purpose is to described how the rich and nobles are too full of themselves so they tend to boast an awful lot about themselves. Which makes the reader in turn tired of hearing the same description over and over again much like how the poor revolutionists have grown tired of the rich nobles at the time.

Why did dickens skip 3 years between chapter 23 and 24?

Hayden Zuza 12/21/17
I think Dickens is trying to show how the political turmoil gets more tense in France. Also I believe there is a swift change in plot in the story as new things happen such as urgency to travel to France in chapter 24. So between chapter 23 and 24 Darnay is mostly lying low trying to wait until the revolution dies down and they forget about who he really is, but this is not the case.

At the end of chapter 21 Dickens compares the blood stained streets from the rest of the chapter to when wine spilled all over the streets in chapter 5 of the book. I considered this a flashback because of how the author utilized it to bring the reader back on how wine had stained the streets and affect such a large number people. Like the wine, blood and violence later on in the story affect a large number of people that are of such great numbers that they are considered an ocean of people.

The status of Miss Pross's and Mr Lorry's in society is quite different from what their actual character is like. Since they act so joyous and happy during the wedding between their dear friend Lucy Manette and Charles Darnay. But they show a swift change in that mood when after they hacked the shoemaker's bench at night and burn the body suspicously.

# data[].attributes.body
Were Mr. Lorry and Miss Pross always this guilty or have they just lost they're complete innocence and honesty?

# data[].attributes.body
Why or why not do you think Charles Dickens is using a lot of symbols and metaphors in chapters 18 and 19?

Hayden Zuza
I think he does this to contrast of how the wedding day is all bright and cheerful while Dr. Manette is frightened and shows great change in mood. Also Mr. Lorry and Miss Pross even have to get rid of Manette's tools to help Lucie

# data[].attributes.body
What route is Charles Dickens taking with the turning of events in chapters 18 and 19? Is he going to allow the characters to continue on this dark path?

Hayden Zuza
I believe so since the revolution in France just gets more and more chaotic since DIckens is making the book follow a specific historical timeline. Which means more violent and entanglement in Charles Darnay since of his real identity and family.

# data[].attributes.body
How do you predict people like Mr. Lorry's and Mr Manette's love for Lucy Manette will effect her safety and protection from the revolutionists (the Defarge's) later on in the plot?

"Never did the sun go down with a brighter glory on the quiet corner in Soho, than one memorable evening when the Doctor and his daughter sat under the plane-tree together." This shows a flashback that Doctor Manette remembers with Lucy as she is preparing to be married the next day. Dickinson placed this in the story to show how Doctor Manette values his daughter highly and feels that his daughter has grown up so fast since she already is getting married.

"Workmen dig, workmen hammer, soldiers laugh and sing; in the morning, by the fountain, there is raised a gallows forty feet high, poisoning the water." This sentence really represents the literary contrasting that Dickens uses throughout the book. The gallows is really shown to be a sort of poison that pollutes society since it is place where a lot of violence happens.

These 3 chapters really represent a clear introduction and fate of the character Monsieur the Marquis, and is shown to be purposely shown this way by the author.  Chapter 7 starts with briefly introducing Monsieur the Marquis as a rich nobleman that is not very caring of people who aren't as wealthy as he is. In the chapter he carelessly instructs his carriage to move quickly through the town center to get home, upon doing so he recklessly runs over a citizen of the village. But the Marquis ignores the death and refuses to pay for a coffin and moves on with his day as if nothing happened. Later on in the day he has a conversation with his nephew about accepting his inheritance when dies. His nephew, Charles Darnay, refuses the inheritance by stating how he is not proud of bearing the name. Ironically at the end of chapter in the morning Monsieur the Marquis is found dead. So This shows chronological order since the author intentively shows how bad karma and actions towards other people leads to one's fate.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does Miss Pross take care of Lucy, and if its because Doctor Manette is ill, how ill does he have to be to have a caretaker?

Will he has to be pretty ill since he himself is a doctor. And I think Miss. Pross takes care of Lucy because of her tight family bond with the Manettes.

The french revolution was mainly caused by crumbling finances and no strong national unity . But how much do you think just the overall poor personality of wealthy nobles such as Monsieur the Marquis affected the uprising?

"down in the little village, under the mill; or captivity and Death in the Dominant prison on the crag"

This paradox is used to highlight the contrast of the choices peasants could make in France. They are both described as rather awful choices but they in reality they are the choices one must make at the time. Dickens placed this paradox at this spot to show how hopeless the majority working class of France felt, which in turn is what sparked revolutionists to overthrow and decapitate the rich

# data[].attributes.body
The introduction of the separate plot that involves Monsieur the Marquis starts with action right away and gives little to no background or clear exposition of the second plot. So although this isn't at the beginning of the story I still believe it clearly represents Media Res since the second plot starts with action.

Why does the Monsieur the Marquis think he is the most powerful person in the world? What do think he  will do with whats going on with the Trial and Doctor Manette and Miss Pross?

"The corner has been mentioned as a wonderful corner for echoes; it had begun to echo so resoundingly to the tread of coming feet, that it seemed as though the very mention of that weary pacing to and fro had set it going."

This is shown to be a loose sentence since the first clause basically tells the main idea which is that there is a lot of echoes from the corner. This is done to show the reader that the corner is rather mysterious and quite weary. The reason Dickens does this is to create emphasize the echoing by echoing the the first clause of the sentence throughout the rest of the sentence.
