“I would ask you, dearest, to be very generous with him always, and very lenient on his faults when he is not by. I would ask you to believe that he has a heart he very, very seldom reveals, and that there are deep wounds in it. My dear, I have seen it bleeding.”
(Book 2 Chapter 20 Page 161)

She was the golden thread that united him to a Past beyond his misery, and to a Present beyond his misery: and the sound of her voice, the light of her face, the touch of her hand, had a strong beneficial influence with him almost always.”

No, Miss Manette, to none. If you will hear me through a very little more, all you can ever do for me is done. I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul. In my degradation I have not been so degraded but that the sight of you with your father, and of this home made such a home by you, has stirred old shadows that I thought had died out of me. Since I knew you, I have been troubled by a remorse that I thought would never reproach me again, and have heard whispers from old voices impelling me upward, that I thought were silent for ever. I have had unformed ideas of striving afresh, beginning anew, shaking off sloth and sensuality, and fighting out the abandoned fight. A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.”
(Book 2 Chapter 13 Page 115-116)

Lucie is thought of as a string that has pulled everyone together, her pure heart being an attraction. She is a character that brings out the best in people, helping her father be recalled to life, Carton’s life given a purpose, and Darnay’s given love. She brings out the best in people because she has the talent of seeing how good a person can be, and shows them, love until they find that within themselves. Lucie symbolizes not only love but through unconditional love. Lucie is not just a beautiful fought-over woman, she is a symbol of how love and kindness are strengths and can change the course of many things.]]> 2022-11-06 22:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/averypfeifer/juga76byu0osx8g2/wish/2372062203 6 sentence description averypfeifer https://padlet.com/averypfeifer/juga76byu0osx8g2/wish/2372062222 Dr. Mannette is a man who has withstood a lot throughout his life. He survived 18 years falsely imprisoned and then chose the brave decision to be recalled back to life for his daughter. Mannette then faced the troubles that came along with the aftermath of surviving in a prison with the intense hobby of shoemaking. Through the story, as he battles his trauma he also receives the love of his daughter, Lucie. He is a hardworking honest man who has lots of integrity, working hard at his job of being a doctor. You find in the book that he is not only a man who has gone through a lot but has received a lot from it, leaving him very humble with a good heart.

Dickens describes her as a “stout woman with a watchful eye” and you find out for yourself that that is true as she is knitting, the activity is not just a hobby but a way of her observing and planning her revenge. She is a very determined woman stopping at nothing until she sees the fall of the Evermonde family. Her lust for Evermonde’s family's destruction comes from the killing of her entire family. Madame Defarge in the end is killed ironically by the bullet of her own gun. Her death proves that her cruel revenge brought nothing but pain back to her, and ended in her self destruct.

He is so self-deprecating and has no hope for change in his ways, it is not until he meets Lucie that he has the motivation to change his habits. Sydney stops drinking, he puts others' needs before his own, clearly taking the steps to better himself all due to his affection for Lucie. When you first met Carton he is given the nickname “Jackal” getting described as one of the most unpromising men and a drunk, at that time he dismisses Lucie as a “golden-haired doll” though it is clear that is just a cover-up of his true feelings. He has the motivation and heart to change later in the book though as true as he said, it was too late for him to redeem himself. His hardest conflict is within himself, sadly for it to be solved it was his sacrifice of life for the sake of Lucie’s happiness and Darnay's freedom.

You're a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You're a bandit like me
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I'll pay for it
And the skeletons in both our closets
Plotted hard to mess this up
And the old men that I've swindled
Really did believe I was the one
And the ladies lunching have their stories about
When you passed through town
But that was all before I locked it down
Now you hang from my lips
Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed
Forever is the sweetest con

Making a list of all who will die
No mercy, no forgiveness, just justice her motto 
Won’t rest until she has witnessed the destruction of the Evermonde's, for they have long been her foe
Her needle her weapon
Hoping to teach a lesson
Though her will still not strong enough to beat death
Her intentions of a downfall, only made hers become true 
Sometimes if you fail to plan without spite, you plan to lose

 I know you will never read this, nor do I want you to because I do not want to bother you with my feelings. You are more than just a beautiful woman, you are kind and pure. I wish with all my being I could be enough for you, but it is as clear as day that that will never be true. I sit here in my self-pity, though glad that you are happy. With your pure point of view, you think there is still time for me to be redeemed but I am afraid that time has passed. I wish you forever a happy life full of love that I could never have given you. I want you to know that you have given me the clarity that I desperately needed. You bring out the best in people and you have brought out the best in me. 
                    your friend,
                                  Sydney Carton
