This holiday, I used my spare time to read dickenss "a tale of two cities"， also have some understanding, I will write down my feelings.
1、 Plot arrangement.
The plot of this book is very mysterious, and the author concatenates all kinds of clues, as mentioned in the article, "weaving" becomes the novel. The greatest feature of the novel is the complexity of the characters, such as the relationship between Dr Manette and danan; The relationship between Mrs D urberge and dannan - the two relations directly led to the final tragedy. And the relationship between Mr. Lorry and Mr. DE hair, and the relationship between the pass and the spy, and so on. These complex figures link the work of this book.
One of the most distinctive chapters of the book is a conversation with a little girl before his death, which thoroughly reveals that the revolutionary masses are too crazy and that the good will live on for ever.
2、 Characters.
The most important character in the book is Charles daran (evmond)。 He was a very conflicted man, and he hated his father and uncle very much, but he had to support the whole family business. So when the old servant wrote to him, he had to return to France. He was a kind man, possessed of the civility of a nobleman, and when he met his uncle, he made it clear that he could not persecute the people. At the same time, he gave up the privileges of the nobility, which was a good deed.
Sydney Carton was also an important figure. I have never liked this casual, lazy character in the first half of the novel. But in the process of reading later, I found him to be an aggressive and resourceful person. Although it is "friend"， but actually caton and south relationship is not so good, but for the sake of the family happiness drops of life, caton willing to the guillotine, let fled south, and the embodiment of the eternal good. In the article, carton died "like a prophet"。
Mr And Mrs D arge also belong to the books focus. He was a good man, and he took Dr Manette, and told his wife after the revolution that he would accept it. She was an avenger, and she had been persecuted by the evremonde brothers, so she wanted to kill all the French aristocrats. Of course, because of her violent behaviour, she died in the hands of miss pross.
3、 Writing features.
This novel is very humorous, and the author has been using dialectical relations and repeated techniques to achieve this effect. Therefore, this touching novel can still be read with great laughter.
One of the features of the article is that the last author "helps carton express his feelings"。 The author used catons language to show the end of the article, telling people that "kindness is forever in the world"。
Thats how I read the novel.
A Love and Hate in A Tale of Two Cities Many have grown fond of the tale involving the noble, former Fr ench aristocrat, who had virtually unmatched (except maybe in boo ks) good fortune. First, his life was saved by the pitiful testimony of a beautiful young woman. Anyone would gladly have married th is beautiful too-good-to-be-true-woman he wedded. It is later seen, however, that this man should have married her even if she were u gly as sin. This was not the case though, and he married a beautif ul woman, who had an admirer who was a dead ringer for her hus band, was a loser, and would give his life to keep her from pain, all of which really es in handy when her hubby is on his way to the guillotine. This is not the story of a man with multiple gua rdian angels, but rather that of a character in Charles Dickens' nove l A Tale of Two Cities. A skeptic could easily see this as an unbe lievable, idealistic and overrated novel that is too far-fetched. An u nbiased reader, however, can seethat this is a story of love and ha te, each making up the bare-bones of the novel so that one must l ook closely to see Dickens' biases, attempts at persuasion, and unbe lievable plot-lines, some of which are spawned from Dickens' love and hate, and some of which love and hate are used to develop.
The more lifeless of the characters we are supposed to like--the Ma nettes, Darnay, Lorry-- play their parts in the idyllic fashion Dicken s and like-minded readers want, a fashion made inflexible by circu mstances and purposes. "Circumstances and purposes" refers in larg e part to Dickens' state of mind and objective. Dickens' intrusive, u nusually editorial point of view, with references to "I" and deviatio ns from narration for monologue, reveals the novel's slavery to the teachings of his morals--or perhaps his own slavery to the morals o f his time and Protestantism. Therefore, can Lucie be any different from the supportive, wholly feminine wife and mother she is? Not if Dickens' is to stick to his obligation, or perhaps obstinate purpos e, of moral teachings. With that aside, what is to be said of Dickens' teaching, his presen tation of love and hate? They both have one thing in mon: the characters representing each are unmistakable at a mile away. The moment Lucie Manette is put before the reader's eyes, her tumblin g blond locks, her bright blue eyes, her seventeen-year-old,slight,p retty （but not sexy!） figure and all, he knows that, not only will sh e not be a villainous, unlikable character, but she will be the epito me of the good, beautiful woman (and later housewife)， the one Di ckens thought every women should be. At this young woman's intr oduction with Mr. Lorry, she curtseys to him, and Dickens wastes no time in pointing out that "young ladies made curtseys in those days"。 The introductory scene climaxes at fair Lucie's fainting, one that, to some, puts her unflawed position into question, although to Dickens, it reinforces it. At the other side of this moral lecture are the Defarges. Call Dicke ns a master for embodying qualities, but here are another flawless pair--flawlessly evil, and sentenced to evil from the moment we see Madame Defarge's "watchful eye that seldom seemed to look at a nything, a large hand heavily ringed, a steady face, strong features, and great posure of manner"， a stark contrast to the slight, fai nting figure of Mada-- or rather, Miss Manette. To further turn us against good old Madame Defarge, Dickens has her using a toothpi ck publicly in her opening scene, an activity dainty Miss Manette wouldn't dream of. Finally, we mustn't forget the setting. Lucie ma y have been born in France, but she defected to England, and trave led from London to meet Mr. Lorry. Madame Defarge was a Frenc hwoman, born and living amongst peasants who drank wine scoope d off of mud. She probably was not taught Dickens' (and his prima ry English audience's) Protestant morals in her Catholic nation, and certainly did not manifest them.
In arguably the book's first touching scene (some say it's the one where Carton is on his way to the guillotine)， Lucie goes through much trouble to coax her father from his insanity, laying her head on his shoulder, and trusting a man she had never met. When Mad ame Defarge sought vengeance for the cruel injustice mitted ag ainst her kin, she looked to destroy not only the innocent descende nt of the culprit, but his family-- an old man, a young woman, an d a little girl. These two characters' love and hate are unconditional and total. Did this have to be so? Could not Madame Defarge ha ve showed one bit of femininity, of human kindness? Could Lucie not have stolen a contemptuous glance at her persecutors? Not with Dickens at the helm. Lucie and Defarge are created with a convic tion, and once Dickens' plot was laid, the blinders he put on his c haracters allowed only one route. Perhaps it was a primitive style, but modern characters are painted more realistically, with human w eaknesses andmore variability. Did it have to be so? Could Dicken s have captured more readers, especially in the long run, if he had pursued more varying actions in his characters, as well as more h umanness and believability? Does this point to Dickens as a flawed writer, with little imagination and ability? Another factor that must be considered is our inability to criticize a n English--or English-living--character, or to find a modicum of res pectability in a French one, with two exceptions. One is the young woman who is beheaded just before Sydney Carton. She is the en emy of an enemy, she is going to be killed, and she allows Dicke ns to teach another moral using Sydney Carton. Why not have her happy to die for the benefit of her countrymen, while not trembling as she ascends to her death, thereby depriving the mon enemy of a small victory? With the modern trend of political correctness and anti-racism, a Tale of Two Cities written today would never le ave the word processor. Jerry Cruncher is about the most sinful of the English (aside from a spy but, remember, he defected to Franc e)， and he repents by the end, which counts for another moral fro m Dickens. In Dickens' time, racism was not regarded as it is toda y, and so if he wanted to use the French Revolution to send a me ssage to the population, it was his right, but he may have taken thi s too far for some. Today, Lucie Manette would by no means be taken seriously as a believable, even likable character. She persists in fainting at particul arly stressful moments, but when her husband is before a heartless, bloodthirsty jury, she looks brave and strong just for him. In cont ext, this was a screaming contradiction, but one that Dickens requir ed to portray his Eve. It is much easier to believe Madame Defarg e's hate than her opposition's love. Defarge's sister was raped andmurdered mercilessly and her brother was killed by a pair heartless "noblemen"。 It is much easier to understand Defarge's taste for blo od than the condition of Manette, who, after practicing as a pet ent doctor and acting normally for years, experiences a recurrence of his mental condition simply because his wonderful daughter has left for two weeks, although he has two dear friends nearby. Charles Dickens has built an enduring story enjoyed by millions, w hich is loved by experts and critics today although it would be im mediately butchered if written by a modern author. It is a love stor y loved by its creator, but wholly unbelievable. It is actually doom ed by its own idealism and unrealistic characters. As a hate story, i t is much more petent, although also using this for its own pur poses. One can draw one's own conclusions and ideas from such a book, but facts are facts.
My Opinions About A Tale of Two Cities
A Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles Dickens, who was born in Portsmouth, England in 1812. As the second of eight children, Dickens had to go to work at the age of twelve to support his poor family, and he lived a difficult childhood. This troublesome time scarred him deeply and provided him with substantial material for such stories as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations. Though just accepted only little education, Dickens became a famous writer through his struggling self-learning and extremely hard work, and he was the representative writer of realism in the 19th century.
Charles Dickens lived in the period of transition between feudalism and capitalism, when the industrial revolution originated in England swept through Europe. As large numbers of workers invaded into urban centers to earn a living, the bourgeois took advantages of the surplus of labor by keeping wages low. The poor thus remained poor, and often lived in a narrow and filthy environment. Dickens’ writing depicted various directions about this society, and provided a keen, sympathetic chronicle of the plight of the urban poor.
A Tale of Two Cities mainly about the great atrocities of French aristocrats compelled the poor citizens to resist violently. Doctor Manette spent eighteen years as a prisoner in Bastille because he intended to expose the atrocity after learning that.
Marquis Evrémonde killed a beautiful farmwife and her younger brother because of his brother’s lust. After Doctor Manette was free again, his daughter Lucie got married with Charles Darnay, Marquis Evrémonde’s nephew, but chose to live in England because he could not accept the cruel injustices of the French social system and the snobbish and cruel values of his uncle. However, Marquis Evrémonde continued his atrocities. After his crazy carriage crushed over a farmer’s little baby as if nothing happen, he was killed at night. A revolutionary storm was brewing. Mr. and Mrs.Defarge were the revolutionaries in the poor Saint Antoine section of Paris. They wanted to kill all French aristocrats, including Charles Darnay. Mr.Defarge used to be Doctor Manette’s servant, so he was kind to Manettes, while his wife’s heart burned with longing for revenge. At last, Charles Darnay was judged to death, But Sydney Carton, a lawyer who loved Lucie deeply, willing to die instead of Darnay, as they had similar appearance.
From my personal point of view, the person A Tale of Two Cities described astounded me very much. Some of them were cruel, crazy and reasonless, while some of them were kind, moral and had own mind.
Sydney Carton was the person I thought the most. He was a smart attorney, without his help, Mr. Stryver could not solve any cases. But he was lazy, alcoholic, and cared nothing and nobody, he even could not find any interests in his own life, it seems that he lived just for wasting life. But he loved Lucie deeply. Finally, he
became a hero, because he sacrificed his life to save Darnay. I didn’t know why the author spent so many words to form such a strange guy at frist, he used his life to love Lucie, after all. But now, I caught it. Perhaps the terrible Carton symbolized the terrible old France, and his change in the end shown that everything could change, including the old France, a new and fine society would replace the violence.
Then, Charles Darnay. He was worthy of esteem or respect. He displayed great virtue in his rejection of his uncle, Marquis Evrémonde. Money and power meant nothing to him, if they came from exploitation and oppression. Even though he had to inherit his uncle’s bequest, he left them to the poor and lived in London throught his own effort. When he realized that he must go back to Paris to help Gabelle, one of his servants, and make right the wrong his uncle had done, he acted without hesitation because he knew that was his duty. He even refused Carton’s help after he was judged to death. I thought, Charles Darnay was a shiny diamond in that cruel and violent society, and he was a hope, the hope of equality and peace.
Third, Mrs.Defarge. How crazy this woman was. Nobody could stop her steps toward revenge, except the death. Although it said that wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, I didn’t agree with Mrs.Defarge totally. Her resistance was inhumane, insensible and endless. For just as the aristocracy’s oppression had made an oppressor Mrs.Defarge herself, so will her oppression, in turn, make oppressors her victims. In the end of the novel, her death by a bullet from her own gun. It shown the author’s belief that inordinate retaliated lust would destroy one own self.
On the whole, A Tale of Two Cities is a successful novel. It shows us oppression and resistance, violence and terror, revolution and vengeance, love and friendship.
I am lucky enough to live in the 21st century, when peace and development are pursued all along. Nowadays, there also are many problems and dissensions among this world, but violence does not the best way problems are solved. Violence just creates more problems, something every sensible person knows. What we need are talks and communication. The time A Tale of Two Cities mentions has gone, we should do enough preparation to adapt the coming age.
The author of this book is dickens. Born in 1812, he was the second son of a naval officer, John dickens and Elizabeth barlow.
The book says that poor Dr Manette, who had been imprisoned in the bastille prison for 19 years by the aristocracy, moved him to live in England. In the court, the father and daughter met the French nobleman darley and the ruined master carton. Later, Lucy and caton got married and lived happily for ten years.
After the French revolution, gray was arrested for rescuing innocent servants from the French aristocracy. And carton, in keeping with his promise to Lucy, made use of his resemblance to darley, and replaced him with the guillotine before darley was executed.
Novel through typical case is highly generalization to expose the eve of the French revolution, Britains social status, on the one hand is high is the ruling class of cruelty, on the one hand, the masses of working people under the exploitation and oppression of the feudal aristocracy led a very miserable life, thus profoundly reveals the revolution is inevitable.
The report of the A Tale of Two Cities.
Recently, I read a tale of two cities. I think that it’s a good novel.
First, I want to introduce the author of this book 。His name is Charles Dickens, he is an outstanding writer. He is one of the greatest writers in the 19 century. However, he had a painful childhood. He was arrested when he was 10 years old due to household debt. He had only a few years of learning. So, in his early years, his works are more about the painful children. He criticized the black of capitalism and had the sympathy for the poor. Now, let me introduce this novel. The background of this book is the French revolution. Before the revolution, the young doctor 。Manette witnessed the guilty of the French marquis. So he was arrested in the Bastille by the marquis. After two years, his wife died. His daughter Lucie was send to London by his friends Lorry and adopted by the Miss Pross who is a maidservant. After 18 years, he was released from the Bastille and was taken care by his old servant Defarge. His daughter wanted to take his father to London. In the travel, she met the son of the marquis Charles Darnay who hated the guilty of his father and uncle. Then they loved each other. And now, Charles Dannay’s father had died, so manette wanted to forget the painful memory and hoped his daughter happy. So he agreed with them. In 1789, France break the revolution. All of the marquises was send to the guillotine. Because the Darnay was a marquis. So the Defarge read the report which was written by the doctor. Then Dannay was sentenced to death. Now Carton who always hidden loved Lucie went to the prison and he pretended Dannay. So Dannay escaped the prison. And carton was killed. However Madame Defarge still not gave up. She wanted to killed Dannay’s wife Lucie and their young child; finally she was burned by the pross.
After read this novel, let me know about the French revolution. I think the people who lived in that period were not lucky. The poor were very sad. They were too blindness. And I was moved the carton, he died for his love, and I like him very much.
