My opinions about A Tale of Two Cities

Recently I read a novel called A Tale of Two Cities. The novel is based on the

French Revolution. It was 1775,both England and France were on the verge of

Revolution .England's king ,George Ⅲ,was having trouble with his American

colonies .And France 's king ,LouisⅩⅥ, was too concerned with his own wealth

to worry about his people .

Therefore, neither king noticed the changes taking place in his country .They

didn't realize ,or care ,that the peasants were hungry and unhappy .They never

thought that anything was wrong with the way things were .They were

wealthy ,and they thought only of themselves.

But the peasants were tired of being treated unfairly. They were tired of

watching the kings waste money while their own children starved. So, in both

London and Paris, the lower classes prepared to revolt .They were ready to force

the kings to make a change.

Then one day in July of 1789, the Revolution began in France .Armed

peasants ran through the streets of Saint Antoine .Their leader, Ernest Defarge

continued to pass out weapons. The men cheered and waved their weapons in the

air .Then, they marched toward the Bastille.

The novel also talks the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney

Carton., who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a

romantic French aristocrat, his uncle is the Marquis St. Evremonde. The

Marquis is infamous for his cruelty. While is a cynical English barrister. However,

the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette.

Charles Darnay is not cruel like his uncle has been. When he knew his

servant is in danger, he went to France at once to defend him. He had promised his

mother that he would help the peasants. He had a hard time traveling through

France. When he finally reached Paris, he was taken prisoner. In my point of view,

Charles Darnay is innocent, he is not cruel.

The other one is Sydney Carton. In my opinion, he is a wonderful man. He
