Charles Darnay is a proper young man who was raised to be fairly respectful and sophisticated while having a heart that could make connects and a mind to make smart decisions quickly. He is written to have seemingly strong decision making skills and to be committed to the goals he sets for himself. He is a very motivated person, setting him apart from Sydney Carton who is lazy and unmotivated.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay is almost a polar opposite to Mr. Carton, as he is for the most part very composed, respectful, and calm/collected. Charles is a formal person who went to Lucie's father to ask for her hand in marriage.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference of perspective and priorities is what sets the two characters apart from each other. Darnay tries to be in the moment and love his family uncondtitionaly while Carton is very dedicated to Lucie and her family and sacrifices a lot for the sake of their happiness.

# data[].attributes.body
Carton is a blunt and bold person who can be more introverted than he should be but when he wants to he can be quite straightforward and more respectful about his bluntness. His bluntness and impatience are what seemed to drive him to go straight to Lucie and ask her to marry him.

# data[].attributes.body
The character development so far for Sydney Carton is written in the sense that Carton is shy and can have his own moments of courage and breakthroughs. He is a person that does not want to work very hard, but he is gifted, and essentially a burnt-out teenager. Carton is also a drunk pessimist who is very reliant on his feelings towards another person or something else to keep him grounded and from falling apart or just decompensating and Darnay does not have these problems at all and is more level-headed.

Based off of levels of placed priorities, ambition, and self sacrifice, the two characters make their own sacrifices for the ones they love. But Darnay leaves his family to save an old servant from his covered up past. His leaving from England is what eventually leads to Carton sacrificing himself to save Charles.

# data[].attributes.body
They both sacrifice so much for Lucie and her daughter and her father. Charles renounces his last name and tries to keep his past with the Evrémondes in order to protect her. And Carton gives his life up so that Lucie can be happy with her husband.

# data[].attributes.body
However, these two characters are shown to be infatuated with the same woman, forcing them to be more open with their emotions to this woman when the time comes for them to be open about them. And the conflict of character and moral for these two fictional men, is similar because they both are trying to impress and show  the woman (Lucie) why they are the best person for her to love/marry: "He [Darnay] had loved Lucie Manette"(Dickens 131), and this gives them a common interest, to potentially join forces or become closer. Or this can make them rivals.

# data[].attributes.body
The two characters look very identical which is what allowed Carton to compare himself to Darnay while in court the first time in the beginning of book 2. The two being closely similar in physical attributes is also what allows  the switching of places while Darnay is imprisoned for the third time while the novel ends with Carton sacrificing himself while Charles gets away and flees France with his family.

# data[].attributes.body
He is a faithful person to his loved ones and he fights as well as loves unconditionally and is a hard worker and commits to his morals. He trusts his new family even though socially, they should be enemies.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay has priorites that don't match is morals and his family's importance to him. As well as this, he leaves his family for his old servant friend. He is also very quick to judge someone based on little to no information about that person. Charles is a very stubborn person as well, once he is set on a goal he will persist until he completes his goal, or his goal is no longer obtainable.

# data[].attributes.body
Other characters talk about him like he is either royalty or the scum of the earth. Some people have a lot of respect for him, if they know his lineage, but those who don't usually treat him like the prisoner on trial he was in earlier chapters.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles is a sophisticated and proper young man that was raised to be loyal. As a response by a servant who Darnay was around as a child and growing teenager, he continues to repeat the words spoken to him: "For the love of Heaven, of justice, of generosity, of the honor of your noble name!" (234), though he had renounced his given last name "Evrémonde" he still repeated these words as they were a moving sense of reclaiming individuality for him and a reason for him to save his old friend who was in danger.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles Darnay is stated previously is a proper and sophisticated person. He was the person to go to Lucies father to ask for her hand in marriage.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay is much like Sydney Carton in the sense of how deeply he admires, loves and is dedicated to her. He is very loyal to her and genuinely enjoys being around her and thinks that she makes him a better person.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay was described to be "...A young man of about five-and-twenty, well-grown and well-looking..." (64) and to have "...His hair, which was long and dark..."(Dickens 64) during his first trial and when Lucie was testifying against him. He is described to be a composed person in general even in court as he keeps his head high up.

"At last, it began to get
about, among such as were interested in the matter, that although Sydney Carton would never be a lion, he was an amazingly good jackal,
and that he rendered suit and service to Stryver in that humble capacity"(Dickens 89).

While the court was still deliberating over whether or not to imprison Charles Darnay it was written that "...[Carton] Was Stryver’s great ally", "Stryver never had a case in hand, anywhere, but Carton was there,"(Dickens 89).

# data[].attributes.body
Carton has a severe addiction to drinking, specifically alcohol. He allowed his negative outlook on life to effect his actual personality and his reputation. And he really only cares about one thing/person and he is not ambitious an does not care about anything so he is just really pessimistic.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney Carton is a very loyal person and will do and sacrifice a lot in order to keep the people he loves happy. He dedicates himself to Lucie and her family and is like an uncle to Lucie's daughter.

# data[].attributes.body
Other people talk to him like he is an intellectual equal, especially in the courtroom where, by law, his words and opinions are meant to be voiced. Other characters also talk to him like he is hesitant and he doesn't want to voice his opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
The other characters talk about Carton like he is an intellectual superior but he is somewhat oblivious to it. He is treated with some dignity but that he is very dense and non-observant. He is also treated like he is very unmotivated and sluggish, as he is a bit of an alcoholic. He is also noticed to be very composed, "changed neither his place nor his attitude, even in this excitement" (Dickens 77). As well as his laziness: "I’d hold half a guinea that he don’t get no law work to do. Don’t look like the sort of one to get any, do he?" (Dickens 77).

# data[].attributes.body
In terms of actions, Carton is a self-sacrificial person and at the very end of the book he gives up the rest of his life so that the love of his can live happily. But usually he does not do things that would affect him in any way or he just will not participate in anything that does not involve him unless he is being forced to participate.

“Look well upon that gentleman, my learned friend there,” pointing
to him who had tossed the paper over, “and then look well upon the
prisoner. How say you? Are they very like each other?”(Dickens 75).
"Allowing for my learned friend’s appearance being careless and
slovenly if not debauched, they were sufficiently like each other to surprise, not only the witness, but everybody present, when they were thus
brought into comparison"(Dickens 75-76).

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Carton is also quite rude and bold when it comes to other people“Do you think I particularly like you?”(Dickens 73).

# data[].attributes.body
