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 thinks that because of his past, he is and always will be a failure who won't amount to any greatness. And since he was picked on constantly, this has been drilled into his mind. He lets Stryver speak to him so negatively because he knows that he's the only reason Stryver is successful in solving cases. Even though Stryver gets all the credit, it's truly Carton who should be rewarded. He knows his place in the world, and this is evident when he says "it's not worth your while to apostrophise me, or the air, about it; what you want to do, you do. You were always in the front rank, and I was always behind.

it seems as though Carton is Stryver's sidekick, even though Carton is smarter and better at picking out important details in trials. They were referred to as lions and jackals, and "although Sydney Carton would never be a lion, he was an amazingly good jackal," which meant that although he wasn't a leader, he was cunning and smart.

# data[].attributes.body
carton has a soft spot for Lucie. he risked his own life so that she could have lifelong happiness. and although he wasn't going to be a part of it, just him knowing that she was going to be happy was enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Carton is selfless and puts others before himself. by doing this, he is sacrificing his personal happiness so that others can be fulfilled.

# data[].attributes.body
Other people criticize him, and he takes it and moves on. For example, Stryver says that Carton's always been inferior to him, and Carton retaliates by saying, "You were always driving and riving and shouldering and pressing, to that restless degree that I had no chance for my life" (Dickens 92).

# data[].attributes.body
Characters dont really think of him as anything special; they all think he is the at the bottom of the popularity totem pole, and they can walk all over him. They treat him horribly, which can be shown when Stryver says "I'm no more annoyed when I think of the expression, than i should be annoyed  by a man's opinion of a picture of mine, who had no ear for music" (Dickens 140).

# data[].attributes.body
to make it simple, carton is careless. he has no hope that his life will get better, or that there is anything good lest for him in life. that's why he drink to excess, and has no regard for anyone's life except for lucie.

It was said that Sydney Carton look extremely similar to Charles Darnay, but was a drunk he had been drinking all throughout the court hearing and forced Darnay to go out to eat with him. He seems to have a poor outlook on life, since he says, " the greatest desire I have, is to forget that I belong" (Dickens 86); along with that, he seems to be a freeloader, since he ordered more wine when he found out he didn't have to pay for it.

# data[].attributes.body
in his final hours, carton reminisced on his life and all the people he had connected with when he said "I see that I hold sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence" (Dickens 372).

# data[].attributes.body
you can tell that carton is a selfless person when he says "I see the lives for which i lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and healthy" (Dickens 372).
