Charles Darnay was raised in a rich, snobby household, that didn't listen to the people. However, he learned from his past, and has been ashamed of him family ever since. He doesn't tell anyone and because he seems like a very proper person, no one suspects his past was dark.

Another difference that Sydney has with Darnay, is he is unlucky with love. He tries over and over again with Lucy because he loves her, but she has already made her decision. In spite of this Carton becomes very depressed, and copes by drinking ad wallowing in his own pity and self-doubt.

Sydney Carton has a very unfamiliar past, that caused him a lot of trauma growing up. We don't necessarily know what this is, but it caused him to cope with it in unnecessary ways; making it known to everyone that he wasn't raised right.

Following the previous similarity, the two men have another thing in common, they look almost identical. Even though Sydney is much more beaten up and rugged looking, he ended up saving Darnay from death because of their likenesses in appearance.

Even though they have two completely different outlooks and attitudes on life, they realize what's truly important in life and aren't very stuck up people.

Another similarity they both have, is both liking Ms. Manette. Charles is a more presentable character, and Ms. Manette actually likes him. However, she knows Sydney likes her as well, but she doesn't like him, she just pity's him because of his drinking problem and past trauma.

One strength that Mr. Darnay has, is the love he has for Lucie. He cares for her very deeply, and is willing to do anything to keep her safe and secure. We see this displayed through the text when he says to Dr. Manette that "[he] loves [his] daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, [and] devotedly" (Dickens 132). By saying this, Darnay surprises Dr. Manette, but he is happy to hear because he knows Lucie loves him as well.

On weakness that Mr. Darnay has, is not telling the truth to Lucie. He displays this behavior when he lies about going to save Gabelle in Paris. The book says that he "[affectionately looks] at his wife, so happy, so busy" continuing onto say that"[it] made him resolute not to tell her what impended" (Dickens 241).

Charles Darnay is a very lovable character, and we see this displayed through the dialogue of many characters, including Lucie. Lucie shows deep compassion and regards for her husband when she says that "One was taken from me, with a warning, yesterday. I must finish my record to-day" (Dickens 290). This passage describes Charles being taken from their family, and Lucie cannot get over it.

Charles has a very different manner then Sydney. He is always polite and kind, and is a more put together and charming. In chapter 10, Charles asks Dr. Manette for Lucie's hand in marriage by saying, "Dear Doctor Manette, I love your daughter...let your old love speak for me!" (Dickens 116). By saying this, Charles is saying that Dr. Manette has loved her for a long time now, and now he wants to devote his life to love and care for her.

Charles Darnay is very confused in this scene because he has prepared himself to die, but one other friend comes to "say" goodbye, when he really, changes his life forever. Charles then figures out what Sydney is doing as says that "Carton...It is madness...I implore you not to add your death to the bitterness of mine" (Dickens 308).

# data[].attributes.body
Charles describes his father's corrupt ways and that they are "bound to a system that is frightful to [him]" following this his father is "responsible for it, but powerless in it" (Dickens 108). This shows that Charles is an honest person; even though he was raised with the wrong morals and ideas, he knows what's right because of his mother.

# data[].attributes.body
Charles Darnay is a very secret and dark person. He is a "young man of about five-and-twenty," and is a "well-grown and well-looking, with a sun-burnt cheek and a dark eye" (Dickens 64). These pieces of important information describe Charles Darnay, and how he looks to the public. The features and appeal of Darnay makes it seem uncommon for someone like him to be on trial for such an act.

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 he is ashamed of himself and lacks the ability to gain his own happiness through being a lawyer. Stryver also knows this and takes advantage of his partner because that way people will look up to him for having good ideas. Carton feels as if he cannot excel at anything because of his well-known reputation and messy past. Stryver speaks to him despairingly by saying, "whose fault was that," Carton follows this saying, "you were always somewhere, and I was always --nowhere"(Dickens 92). This is a great example of a dependant relationship because Carton is reliant on Stryver to get his good ideas across, but Stryver is reliant on Carton to make him look good and to get good ideas from, which is extremely toxic to Carton's well-being.

How did Sydney's childhood predict his future as a "Jackal for Stryver's Lion [Bk2.Ch5]

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney Carton is a messy character that has an unclear past. However his partner Stryver helps him cope with his failures and is the leader of their so-called pack. They work together as lawyers and drink together as companions. Stryver is described as the Lion because he is more dominant and more willing to take risks. Whereas Carton is described as a Jackal because he assists Stryver in his work, although he is intelligent enough to work on his own, he just lacks determination and focus. In this scene, it describes how Carton does realize how he wasted his potential of being a cleaned-up, intelligent person, and he also wasted his chance at finding true love as it states, "incapable of his own help and his own happiness...and resigning himself to let it eat him away" (Dickens 93). This piece of evidence proves similar points stated previously and concludes he regrets his life choices because now he is incapable of finding his own happiness.

The relationship that Stryver has with Sydney Carton consists of "carousing with Sydney Carton". The two men "[drink] together" constantly and, following this statement,  "Stryver never had a case in hand, anywhere, but Carton was there" (Dickens 89). These pieces of evidence clearly show how Carton and Stryver are very fond of each other because they drink together all of the time. The two men are good companions, but Stryver always takes advantage of Carton's good ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
One of Sydney's weakness, is standing up for himself. He is constantly getting beaten down by people who take advantage of him. For example, Mr. Stryver takes advantage of him by saying "mix another bowl of punch" and follows this by saying "I have something to say to you" (Dickens 137). By saying this, Stryver is trying to get Carton drunk, so that he doesn't remember the conversation.

One strength of Mr. Carton, is being good with kids. We see this when Carton is over at the Manette's house with little Lucie, and is playing with her. She see's him as more of a father figure than her actual father.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Stryver is Sydney's drinking buddy. They drink together late in the night, and Carton will go home drunk, while Stryver was well-composed, and ready the morning after for a court case. However, they both have feelings for Miss Manette, which deters their friendship, and shows Stryver's true colors. We can now see that Stryver only cares about himself and what he wants. He doesn't care about Carton's mental, physical or emotional state. He explains that "it is [his] duty to tell [Carton]...that you are a de-vilish ill-conditioned fellow"(Dickens 139). This quote explains that Mr. Stryver doesn't like Sydney as a person, and uses him to make him look good in the court.

Sydney Carton is a character who is viewed differently by a lot of different people. Sydney's colleague, Mr. Stryver, is one of Sydney's only companions. He isn't very loyal but drinks with Sydney when he isn't feeling well. He narrates Carton as he enters the bar by saying, "The old Sydney Carton, of old Shrewsberry School" (Dickens 91). This shows how Sydney Carton is old for an unmarried man, and that he is viewed as old-fashioned by Mr. Stryver because he cares for someone other than himself. Moreover, Miss Manette, the girl of everyone's dreams, likes Mr. Caton-- as a friend. In chapter 13, when Carton shows up at Dr. Manette's house, Miss Manette already knew something was wrong. She is a very sweet and considerate person, but she tells Carton as he arrives and says, "I fear you are not well, Mr. Caton!" (Dickens 149). This quote symbolizes how Carton is always drinking, and he doesn't care about his appearance or life anymore because of his past traumas.

The actions of Sydney Carton reflect his character. For example, Carton drinks alcohol to deal with his problems and unknown past trauma. He is a very smart man, he just wastes opportunities to help his public image because he sees no point. Carton also helped Charles' death sentence be lifted, although it was Mr. Stryver who voiced his ideas.

Sydney Carton is a messy-looking character in the book, A Tale of Two Cities, and this can be described as a dirty person with "his ton gown half off him, his untidy wig...his hands in his pockets, and his eyes on the ceiling as they had been all day" (Dickens 77). They also describe this man looking like a prisoner, and this shows he did not care at all about his reputation or image in the public.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney Carton explains to Miss Manette that he likes her by saying that "A dream...that ends in nothing...but I wish you to know that you inspired it" (Dickens 151). By saying this, Carton is saying that her liking him back is merely a dream, and that he knows she will never like him because of his manner and appearance. Even though she explains to him that she believes he is an honest, nice man, she's just in love with Charles.

# data[].attributes.body
The character of Sydney Carton relates to a lot of modern day people because of his passive attitude, and his constant tired state. We see this displayed through his character when he says, "I am not going to guess, at five o’clock in the morning...if you want me to guess, you
must ask me to dinner" (Dickens 121). This quote displays how Carton is non tolerant when he is tired.

Sydney Carton finishes his life, saying a beautiful testimate to the people who are about to kill him. He says that "“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known" (Dickens 330).
