“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).]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927923 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927924 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. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927924 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927926 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).]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927926 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927928 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.

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. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927947 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927948 Other characters talk about him like he is either royalty or the scum of the earth.

As well as this, he leaves his family for his old servant friend.

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. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927954 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927956 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. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927956 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927957 They both sacrifice so much for Lucie and her daughter and her father.

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. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927958 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927962 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. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927962 emersonmcdaniel https://padlet.com/emersonmcdaniel/oxxeqh1fxm99wynr/wish/1485927965 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.
