Charles cares about others and cares about Carton, because he realizes if he chose the wrong path, he could have became just like Carton. He shows this by telling himself, "'A good reason for taking to a man, that he shows you what you have fallen away from, and what you might have been!'" (Dickens 87).

Darnay is influenced by himself. He doesn't want to be like his family and wants to get away from them, so he tries to be his own person. He is motivated by being himself, not being his family.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay cares about everyone, because that's the type of person he is. Unlike Carton, he will do things for others out of the kindness of his heart.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney Carton is influenced by others. He does everyone else's work, and barely has time to do his own, or doesn't do it at all. He is hired by Stryver to do his work. But, he never takes credit for it, and lets Stryver walk all over him, letting him say that he is nothing and will never amount to anything.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney is a drunk and shows that he doesn't care what other people have to say about him by saying, "'I am a disappointed drudge, sir. I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me'" (Dickens 87).

# data[].attributes.body
Carton only cares about a few selected people being the Manette's and Stryver. He cares about these people because he loves Lucie and Stryver is his boss.

# data[].attributes.body
They both have influences, but the influences are somewhat similar. Carton is influenced by others and Darnay influences himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the differences of Sydney not caring and Charles actually caring, they have a similarity. They are a resemblance of each other like a light and dark side. Charles is the light because of how put-together he is and Carton is the dark because of how far he's fallen. Carton asks Darnay if he likes him,"'Do you think I particularly like you?'...'You have acted as if you do; but I don't think I do'" (Dickens 86-87).

# data[].attributes.body
A similarity of them both is that they both care deeply about the same person, Lucie. Carton loves her, but Darnay is married to her. They both love her, making them have a common similarity in who they deeply care about.

# data[].attributes.body
A strength of Darnay is that he is a very caring person, and will go to incredible lengths to do somethign for someone. When he goes to the Manette's house, he asks for the Father's blessing first, instead of asking Lucie if she wants to. The other 2 people, Carton and Stryver, don't ask for the father's blessing.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay's weakness is that although he has changed his last name, he can't escape his family history. He is put on trial in England for having connections to the French, and is aware of what his family has done, like his mother. They both sat by and watched what their family did, not being able to prevent any of it.

Other characters say that he is a nice person and kind gentleman. In the courtroom, Lucie tells the judge that he was a kind person and would never have tried to hurt either her or her father, "The prisoner was as open in his confidence with me...as he was kind, and good, and useful to
my father" (Dickens 63). This is showing how much respect others have for him and how all of his efforts to make himself look the best he can and to be composed makes him a very respectable figure.

Charles tells Carton that he could have used his talents to do something rather than drink his life away when he says, "'Much to be regretted. You might have used your talents better'" (Dickens 74).

Charles Darnay says that he is French, but he doesn't associate with his family because of all of the terrible things they did. He says this to Mr. Lorry and tells him that he doesn't want to anything with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Darnay tells himself that he isn't like Carton and says, "'...he shows you what you have fallen away from, and what you might have been!... Come on, and have it out in plain words! You hate the
fellow'" (Dickens 74). This is showing how he is having an inner conflict telling himself he looks nothing like him and he really isn't him, but at the same time they look so alike, they could be the same person.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles Darnay's description is from how he holds himself together and his appearance. "The object of all this staring and blaring, was a young man of about five-and-twenty, well-grown and well-looking, with a sun-burnt cheek and a dark eye. His condition was that of a young gentleman"(Dickens 55). The description shows that he is a calm person even under great pressure, and he likes to make himself look as good as he can and to act as composed as possible.

Why does Sydney continue to work in Stryver's Shadow? Why does he let Stryver speak to him despairingly? What is holding him back? [Bk.2Ch5]

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney continues to work in Stryver's shadow because that's the way he's always worked, not taking credit. In the text it states, "'Up one minute and down the next; now in spirits and now in despondency!'" (Dickens 91). He lets Stryver talk to him like that because that's what everyone does to him because they think of him as a drunk. The thing that is holding him back is that he grew up like that, so it's in his nature to do things for others, making him hold himself back.

When talking about their past, Sydney says "Even then, I did exercises for other boys, and seldom did my own" (Dickens 91). This is showing that even at a young age Carton would always do other's work for them, making him a Jackal to the Lions.

Stryver lets Sydney do all the work for him. Dickens puts the word "jackal" in text, implying that Carton is lower than Stryver. Dickens also uses "lion" to describe Stryver's power over Sydney (Dickens 90-91).

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney Carton's main weakness is his drinking problem. Almost all of the time he is drinking something, and he doesn't care about himself or others too much anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
A strength of Sydney Carton is that he is a very hard worker, but he doesn't take credit for it. He does all of Stryver's work, the 'greatest' lawyer in all of London. Another strength of his is that he is sometimes a very caring person. He shows multiple times throughout the book that he actually cares for Lucie very deeply because he loves her.

# data[].attributes.body
Stryver tells Carton that his life has no purpose when he says, "'your way is, and always is, a lame way. You summon no energy and purpose'" (Dickens 91). This shows how no one is on Carton's side, making him believe he amounts to nothing, when really he's saving Stryver's career by doing that.

# data[].attributes.body
Other characters think that Sydney shouldn't be a lawyer and he should be a drunk in a bar. Jerry and another man talk about him and say, "'What's he got to do with the case?'...'Blest if I know'" (Dickens 64). This shows that others don't even think he should be at a job.

# data[].attributes.body
Carton does all of Stryver's work for him and never takes the credit. In one part of the book, Stryver talks down on Carton, but Carton just laughs it off. He leaves and cries himself to sleep, showing his character's personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Carton's physical description shows his character. It states that "and nearly opposite another wigged gentleman with his hands in his pockets, whose whole attention... seemed to be concentrated on the ceiling of the court" (Dickens 63-64). This is showing that Carton isn't paying attention to what he should be and that he isn't caring about the court case too much either.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney says that he never had much of a purpose in anything by saying, "Even then, I did exercises for other boys, and seldom did my own" (Dickens 77-78). This shows that even Sydney himself agrees with the fact that he always did work for others, not himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney says that he doesn't want to talk about his life by saying, "I had no chance for my life but in rust and repose. It’s a gloomy thing, however, to talk about one’s own past, with the day breaking" (Dickens 78).

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney says that he cares for no man on earth and no man cares for him. This shows how he has given up on trying to care about things.
