Book Report on The Tale of Two Cities
Book Report on The Tale of Two Cities The book which I have read is A Tale of Two Cities,whose writer is Charles Dic kens.Charles Dickens is the famous English writer who born in1812.Because of the urgency of life,he ever dropped out of school to become child labor when he is a teen ager,and he also worked in Law firm and Newspaper office when he grew up.He also has other works except A Tale of Two Cities.For example,David Copperfield,Oliver Twist,Hard Times,Great Expectations and so on.The book of mine was published in Nanjing Yilin Publishing House in2016.It's the First edition,Its main argument is to use the historical experience of the French Revolution as a wake-up call to the British rulers.Its idea is to fully promote the humanitarian thought and express its condemnat ion of the violent revolutionary attitude under the guidance of revenge.A Tale of Two Cities is divided into three sections.The theme of the first part is R ecalled to Life,the second part called The Golden Thread,and the third is The Track of a Storm.The first part telling the society of Britain and France in extreme confusio n.Cruncher sent a letter to Lorry,and then Lorry helped Lucie find and rescue Doctor Manette.It can be seen that Lorry is an economically intelligent and moral person,an d Lucie is a kind and gentle girl.Meanwhile,it expressed the brutal rule of the nobles, and the great suffering of the people.The second part wrote Charles Darnay was fram ed and jailed,Sydney Carton helped him defend and succeed.Then,Marquis Evremo nde runs down a plebeian child with his carriage and Darnay accused him and gave up the identity of the nobleman.After Darnay left,Marquis Evremonde was assassinated by"Jacques".Darnay married Lucie and confessed his identity to Doctor Manette.At this point,the revolutionaries represented by Madame Defarge are secretly brewing th e revenge.In1789,the French Revolution broke out,and Paris was put in prison and wrote to Darnay,who set out to France in spite of his personal safety.From this part,it can be seen that the noble and brave and honest in Darnay,Carton's apparent idlenes s and he was not pursued,as opposed to Darnay,Darnay's sincere love with Lucie,Do ctor Manette's merciful and loving father.The brutal rule of the aristocrats over the ci vilian population aroused radical resistance against the civilian population.In that last part,Darnay arrived in France and was arrested,and Manette saved him with his infl uence in the revolutionaries,but Defarge and his wife charged Darnay,he was arreste d again,and Carton came to Paris and planned to save Darnay,But Defarge took out t he letter about the reasons for Manette's detention at Darnay's trial.Darnay was senten ced to death.At that night,Carton swindled with him to replace the death penalty in D arnay.Madame Defarge came to Lucie's place to make Lucie and their children execut e when Darnay,Lucie,their children and Doctor Manette left Paris,in her scuffle with Miss Pross,she accidentally shot herself.Finally,Carton was taken to the guillotine. From this part can see Carton deeply loved Lucie that makes Carton become a exalted man and even surpass Darnay.Madame Defarge was cruel and ruthless.From the oth er side,It reflects that in the class struggle,the brutality of the aristocrats forced the re venge of the people at the bottom to become distorted and radical.In all the book,in my opinion,its character is humor satirizes without losing its t rue lyricism.For example,When the barrel fell,everyone rushed to the ground to drin k.It satirizes the aristocrats'abuse of farmers.At the same time,it is also ironic to des cribe adults serving him with four servants to drink chocolate.The author has criticize d the corrupt society of the oppressed peasants through this kind of humor and the sati rical.When Lucie first met her father,Lucie moved her father with kindness and affec tion,through her care,her father returned to normal.At the same time,in terms of Ca rton's willingness to accept the death penalty for Darnay,that also shows the writing st yle of the real lyric of the work.Meanwhile,I also think this work has a strong realisti c style and is a realistic literary work.As a whole,this work are based on the FrenchRevolution and take the resistance of the bottom people to the aristocracy as the main line.This is similar to the social situation of the time of the author's life.That is,the s queeze of capitalists on civilians during the industrial revolution,the poor are trapped in poverty and despair.This has a strong realistic style.I think this novel is intertwined with political struggle and emotional entangleme nt.It is to the effect that a noble nobleman is in love with the daughter of a doctor wh o is persecuted by the noble.But because of the aristocracy,he was in prison,and the last sentence was sentenced to death.His last imprisonment was influenced by the resi stance of the revolutionaries of the French Revolution,and Carton changed the cold,a nd fell in love with Lucie,and went to death replace Darnay.The cruel and ruthless Madame Defarge finally died.The central view of the novel is to praise the idea of hu manitarianism,and love to triumph over hate.In the article,the revolutionary who wa s represented by Madame Defarge's brutal and merciless resistance,this is a loss of hu manitarianism.Doctor Manette's forgiveness of the family in Darney,which embodies the understanding and inclusion.Carton died in place of Darnay,this is the result of t he influence of love.This is a reflection of the humanitarian.And Madame Defarge su ffered for herself by retaliating against Lucie.This reflects the punishment for brutal a nd ruthless revenge on the revolutionaries.At the same time it expressed Charles Dick ens's promotion of love,the brutality of the nobles,and the sympathy for the dark life of the peasants.To express the sympathy of Charles Dickens for the suffering of the p oor in the real world,and his hope for a better society.。

BookReportonATaleofTwoCities（共5篇）第一篇：Book Report on A Tale of Two CitiesBook Report on A Tale of Two CitiesCharles Dickens, English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens's works are charactericized by attacks on social evils, injustice, and hypocrisy. He had also experienced in his youth oppression, when he was forced to end school in early teens and work in a factory. Dickens's lively good, bad and comic characters have fascinated generations of readers.The story is set in London and Paris at the time of the great French Revolution. It is 1775, and Mr. Jarvis Lorry is traveling to Dover to meet Lucie Manette and tells her that he will travel with her to Paris to meet her father, who has recently been released from the Bastille. Five years later, Charles Darnay is tried in London on a charge of treason for providing English secrets to the French and Americans during the outbreak of the American Revolution. The dramatic appearance of Mr. Sydney Carton, who looks remarkably like him, precludes any positive identification and allows Darnay's acquittal. Darnay, Mr. Carton, and Mr. Stryver all fall in love with Lucie Manette. But she favors Charles Darnay and marries him. In France, Darnay's uncle, Monseigneur, has been murdered in his bed for crimes against the French people. At the urgent request of Monsieur Gabelle, who has been arbitrarily imprisoned, Darnay returns to Paris. He is arrested as a nobleman and an emigrant and thrown into jail. A spy named John Barsad drops into the Defarges' wine-shop and reveal practically nothing, although Madame Defarge is knitting a list of those whom she and the other revolutionaries intend to kill.Doctor Manette, Miss Pross, Lucie, and her small child follow Darnay to Paris. But Darnay is once again denounced by the Defarges. Darnay is brought back to prison and sentenced to death. Sydney Carton also has traveled to Paris. He resolves to sacrifice himself to save her husband's life. He uses his influence with Barsad to get into Darnay's cell. He drugs Darnay and exchanges places with him. Madame Defarge knocks on Lucie's door to arrest her, but the Manettes have already fled to safety. She is instead confronted with the extremely protective Miss Pross, who comes to blows with her and accidentally shoots her dead with her own gun. Darnay returns with the Manettes to London in safety. Carton dies in Darnay's place at the guillotine, satisfied with the knowledge of his good deed.A Tale of Two Cities as its background is written with social life of England and France social life before and after French Revolution in 18 century. It specifically describes the feudal aristocracy living with luxuries, abuses their power in politics, and their cruel exploitation of squeezes the urban poor and the rural farmers. It realistically portrays the violent revolution arisen by the social conflict uncompromised. It also reflects the terror and chaotic scene caused by the wildly excited civilian who could never endure the long oppression by the aristocrats. Through these descriptions, Dickens warned the British rulers to learn from that to restrain the power, correct their malpractice and implement social improvement, so as to smooth the social confrontation, and avoid the repetition of the French violent revolution. This is the writing purpose of A Tale of Two Cities, and it is achieved by the description of the main characters. In the process of description, the idea of liberty, equality and fraternity, which is the slogan of French Revolution, is ingeniouslypublicized.第二篇：Book report on A Tale of Two CitiesBook report on A T ale of Two CitiesName: 陆一蓝Class:1010Date：Dec. 12Abstract:Charles Dickens is an outstanding English writer in 19th century.He lived in Britain from the semi-feudal society to industrial capitalism transition period，so in the early time，his most works describe children’s unfortunate lives and revealed charitable institutions and school education’s crime. His work s revealed and criticized the capitalist class’s greedy, cruel governance. His works describe every aspects of social life of this period.Body:Dickens is the representative novelist of realistic literature in 19th century.Realism reflects real life. It is objective and it advocate observing real life objectively and always keeping a calm attitude. Persons in the novels are all very similar to the persons in the real life.Dickens’ works are full of humorous. His works analyses persons in details. Besides，His literary style is also a mixture of fantasy and realism. Introduction：This fictional story happened during the Great French Revolution around the Manette family and the two cities are London and Paris. Doctor Manettte had been in prison for 18 years j ust because he wanted to disclose Evermondes’ crimes. Marquis of Evermonde, a noble man in France, stole a countrywoman with his brother by force and killed her family. Doctor Manette came to know all their crimes by accident. In order to hide their crimes, they threw Manette intoBastille .During these 18 years, Doctor Manette lost is freedom completely and suffered a lot in spirit. He was taken care of by Monsieur Defarge, his maid, before his daughter found her. Then she took him to London. His daughter took good care of him and helped him return to normal. They came to know Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay, both of whom fell in love with Lucie later, during a court. Sydney expressed his love to Miss Lucie, promising that he would do everything for her happiness. However, he didn’t mean to marry Lucie since he thought he was not a proper man for Lucie. Meanwhile, Lucie and Darnay fell in love with each other. Doctor Manette accepted his son-in-law although he knew that Darnay was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison. One day, Darnay had to return to Paris to rescue his uncle’s chamberlain who had been taking care of property for Darnay. Before Darnay set off, Mr. Lorry went to Paris to deal with something for Tellson’s Bank at the age of 78 years old. Unfortuntely, Darnay was arrested and put into prison. Lucie got the news and went to Paris with his father immediately. Luckily, Doctor Manette had been in Bastille for a long time, so Paris citizen respected Doctor Manette so much after they knew his experience. At last, Darnay got out of prison. However, Darnay was taken away again the next morning. In fact, Madame Defarge was the sister of the woman who was killed by Marquis ofEvermonde. She had the obligation to take revenge on everyone from Evermonde family. Lucie, as his wife, was in a deep sadness. Old Lorry also felt anxious. Then it was the time for Sydney Carton to do something. Carton sacrificed his life for Lucie’s happiness. He fulfilled his promise. He got into the prison and Darnay was taken out of there instead. The Manettefamily managed to return to London. Carton, left in Paris, was killed to the face of thousands of people.Analysis of Sydney carton:Sydney carton, a hero, a touching character. He has a same appearance withDarnay but completely different fate. He loved Lucie but he was afraid to disturb her life. He sacrifice his life to make Lucie get happiness.Conclusion:In this work, we can not only see a story about a family, a touching love story, but also the situation of the whole society at that time. Just as the novel described at the beginning,“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”No equality and no fairness. Many people were killed everyday, who were thesacrifice of that time. Dickens has distinct love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked.第三篇：Book-report——A tale of two citiesA Book-Report of a Tale of Two CitiesA Tale of Two Cities is a masterpiece written by Charles Dickens. The book that I read has 428 pages and was published by the Tsinghua University Press in 2009. It costs 39 Yuan.I chose this book to read because I admire the author, Charles Dickens. He created vast collection of characters in his vivid novels. He focus was always on the individual rather than on abstract theories. Thus I could read the story with fewer difficulties. Charles Dickens was an excellent novelist. It was the quality of his writing that makes him popular with readers even today.A Tale of Two Cities is a sad and touching story. It took place in the London and Paris during French Revolution. Doctor Manette has been put into prison for 18 years as a result of his efforts of exposing the Evremonde family’s evil. However, for the sake of his daughter’s happiness, he agreed his daughter Lucie to marry his enemy’s son---Charles Darnay. Innocent Darnay condemned wickedness of his family and gave up the Evremonde title as well as all the property. Nevertheless due to he’s family background, he was put into prison in F rench by the outrageous people in French Revolution. A young lawyer named Sydney Carton fell in love with Lucie. He decided to die for Darnay for the sake of Lucie’s happiness. The family of1 Manette finally escaped back to England safely while Carton departed to them for ever.Sydney Carton was my favorite character in this book. He was the person whose words were sharp but heart was kind. I was sure that he loved Lucie no less than Charles. Thought he had confronted his love to Lucie, after Lucie and Darn ay’s wedding, he chose not to disturb her happiness. When Darnay was sentenced to death, Sydney Carton tried his best to rescue Darnay at the expense of his own life. I was deeply touched by this tragic ending. After all, few people could do that as him.Doctor Manette was a just and respectful man. When he witnessed the terrible crime of the Evremonde family, he felt it was his duty to inform the government minister, which resulted in his longtime imprisonment. 18 years later, thought he knew Charles Darna y was his enemy’s son, he gave up revenge and accepted the marriage because he loved daughter and wanted her to be happy. Madame Defarge was totally opposite to Doctor Manette. Her family was ruined by the Evremonde family whenshe was a little girl, thus she didn’t let go any chances to revenge Darnay, even thought Darnay had nothing to do with those wickedness. Grudge had already taken charge of her mind. She even wanted to hurt Darnay’s innocent wife Lucie and their child. T o forgive or not, it is a question.Madame Defarge and Doctor Manette, both of them suffered from brutal persecution. The former chose to forgive because of love while the later never gave up her revenge until she was killed. I sometimes assumed that women were more sensitive than men, so it is harder for women to abandon grudge. If I were one of them, I would probably never forgive but I would never hurt someone innocent. It was really ashamed that I couldn’t bring myself to do as Doctor Manette.A Tale of Two Cities was an excellent story. Once you begin to read it, you would be absorbed in it. Well organized plot, vivid description, especially the love between characters would inspire your desire to finish reading this book.第四篇：Reading report on A Tale of Two CitiesReading report on A Tale of Two CitiesA Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens's most important representative works. With the broad real background of the French Revolution, the author takes the fictional character Doctor Manette's experience as the main clue, interweaves three independent but incidently cross-correlated stories-- the unjust charge, love and revenge together. In A Tale of Two Cities, the plot is criss-crossed and the clue is complex., which shows Dickens's language skill.In the novel, the author shapes three kinds of characters: feudal aristocracy, revolutionary masses and the idealized figures. Every character has his own characteristics. Doctor Manette ishonest and kind but suffers the persecution actually. Lucie is beautiful and gentle. Charles is graceful and noble. Lorry is upright and honest. Sydney is indifferent, unconventional but also selfless and lofty. Miss Pross is straightforward and loyal. Evremonde brothers are cruel and sinister...The complex hatred is hard to solve; the cruel revenge has made more hatreds;loves rebirth in the hell edge,but take the life as the price. Through the three kinds of characters, Dickens emphasizes three main aspects: the disapproval of the nobility’s oppression towards the poor and the revolution, humanism, as well as love.Evremonde brothers are the representatives of the feudal aristocracy. They are cruel to their people. They steal a woman, destroy her family’sland, take their food, and kill her brother. When Doctor Manette finds thetruth, he is taken to the prison and spends 18 years there. The younger Evremonde brother even hits a peasant’s child to death. Here Dickensdescribes the French famers’ miserable sufferings with great sypathy and condemns the feudal aristocracy for their evils.Madame Defarge is a representative of the revolutionary masses. She is the younger sister of the poor woman killed by the Evremonde brothers. And she holds great hatred to them, even their whole family. She remembers everything and knits every name into her work. Finally, she rushs into the Bastille and kills its officers. In order to revenge, she makes great efforts to send Darnay and his family to death, unluckily, she is shot to death by her own gun at last. She fights for violence and evils, but also dies of them. In the novel, many innocent men and women dies for no reason, and everyday brings more deaths. Through Madame Defarge’s death, Dickens expresses his disapproval towardsrevolutions. Any form of oppression should be prevented, either the feudal aristocracy’s persecut ion to their people or the peasants’ revolt to the nobility.Charles is the nephew of a marquis, but he abandones the privilege and moves to London. There he works hard to earn his living and manages to be a French teacher. Later he marries Lucie. One day, Darnay receives a letter from Monsieur Gabelle, who has been arrested and taken to Paris. In order to save his old servant, Darnay goes back to France, but he is arrested and sentenced to death. As to Carton, he slips into the prison with the help of Mr. Barsad, changes Darnay’s clothes and dies for him. The contrastbetween Darnay and Carton’s self-sacrifice spirits and the revolutionists’ violence emphasizes their noble qualities and heroical behaviours. They reflect Dickens's idea of humanism.Love is also a very important elemant in the novel. When he knowns whose son Darnay is, Doctor Manette keeps his feelings secret for his daughter’s happiness. And Carton’s love towards Lucie is more moving.“But you should know that for you, or for everyone close to you, I would do anything. Please remember always, that there is a man who would give his life to keep someone you love alive and close to you.”Above is Carton’s promise to Lucie, and he finally sacrifice himself to save Darnay because of his deep and great love to her.Dickens accords great importance to love. With the love as the tie, Doctor Manette, Darnay and Lucie form a happy family. It’s a very different way from revolution to solve the society contradiction. Here Dickens not only praises love, but also indicates his hope for a harmonious society.A Tale of Two Cities is a famous realistic novel. In thebeginning, Dickens describes a vivid picture of the society of that time. Even though the relations among the characters are a little complex, he clearly states the story and conveys his ideas.班级：07英师本6班学号: 070201615姓名：雷丽冰第五篇：Book Review on A Tale of Two Cities班级：14英师3班姓名：纪露露学号：14010103012 Book Review on A Tale of Two CitiesA Tale of Two Cities is a novel by Charles Dickens, which set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. Written in 1859, A Tale of Two Cities was published in weekly installments from April 1859 to November 1859 in Dickens's new literary periodical titled All the Year Round. All but only three of Dickens's previous novels had appeared as monthly installments. After published, A Tale of Two Cities was an instant hit. Families read it by the firelight; crowds waited for the next edition to be released. With sales of about 200 million copies, A T ale of Two Cities is the biggest selling novel in history. By this time Dickens was one of the most prominent writers and editors in England. At times, Dickens's prose emanates pure beauty that's so missed in most of contemporary works. In this book, Dickens has created a broad cast of characters, of two nations and multiple social classes and political affiliations, and effortlessly weaved their stories. That is the reason why Charles Dickens is one of the most popular storytellers and this particular novel is world's bestselling work of fiction. A Tale of Two Cities depicts the plight of the French peasantry exploited by the French aristocracy, which lead to the revolution and many social phenomenas paralleling with life in London during the same period.In 1757, for knowing a secret, Dr. Manette, a French physician, was picked up and sent to the Bastille by the aristocracy MarquisSt. Evremonde. 18 years after, Alexandre Manette was released from the Bastille. Mr. Lorry, one of the bank's managers, arrives in Dover and meets with Dr. Manette's daughter Lucie who has believed her father to be dead and her governess, Miss Pross. Mr. Lorry takes her to France to reunite with her father who has been given lodgings by Defarge, owners of a wine shop. In 1780, Charles Darnay is on trial for treason against the British. And Darnay's defense counsel directs attention to Sydney Carton, a barrister present in the courtroom who looks almost identical to him.In Paris, Marquis St. Evrémonde’ s carriage hits and kills the child of a peasant, Gaspard. At that night, Gaspard kills the Marquis in his sleep. In London, Darnay gets Dr. Manette's permission to wed Lucie; but Carton confesses his love to Lucie as well. Knowing she will not love him in return, Carton promises to do any sacrifice for her. On the morning of the marriage, Darnay reveals his real name and family lineage to Dr. Manette( Darnay is Marquis’ s nephew). As time passes, Lucie and Charles begin to raise a family. Carton is accepted as a close friend of the family and becomes a special favorite of little Lucie. In 1789, the Defarges help to lead the storming of the Bastille. The St. Evrémonde’ s chateau is burned to the ground. In 1792, Mr. Lorry travels to Paris to collect important documents. Darnay receives a letter written by Gabelle, one of his uncle's servants who have been imprisoned by the revolutionaries. Without telling his family or revealing his position as the new Marquis, Darnay sets out for Paris. After Darnay arrives in Paris, he is denounced for being an emigrated aristocrat from France and jailed in prison. Dr. Manette, Lucie and Miss Pross travel to Paris and meet Mr. Lorry to try to free Darnay. But after being released,Darnay is immediately arrested again. At this time, Carton met Solomon and identifies him. By threatening to denounce Solomon to the revolutionary tribunal, Carton blackmails him into helping with a plan. When Carton wanders into the Defarges' wine shop, he discovers that Madame Defarge was the surviving sister of the peasant family savaged by the Evrémondes. At night, Carton urges Lorry to flee Paris with Lucie, her father, asking them to leave as soon as he joins them in the coach. Shortly before the executions are to begin, Solomon sneaks Carton into the prison for a visit with Darnay. The two men trade clothes, and Carton drugs Darnay and let Solomon carry him out. Carton has decided to be executed in his place. Following Carton's earlier instructions, the family and Mr. Lorry flee to England with the unconscious Darnay. Meanwhile, Miss Pross kills Madame Defarge by mistake. Picking up this book was a brave move. This book was also a strong commentary regarding the Revolution. It was interesting to see the ironic way in which Dickens compares the aristocracy to the angry revolutionaries. The revolutionaries are mad for the aristocracy hurting and killing the innocent. Then, they turn around and start killing plenty of innocent people like the aristocracy just for the sake of watching their heads roll. The comparison in A T ale of Two Cities could be the theme of the novel, but the contrast alluded to in the titleallows Dickens to make a separate point. While Miss Pross represents England and a sense of English superiority, Dickens is not merely dredging up the ages old English-French conflict; he's saying something more subtle: that London at the time he was writing was a hair's breadth away from Paris during The Terror. These conditions, in which human brutality and cruelty arise and dominate for a time, are predictable, repeatable. That there is two side to the coin: thebest of times and the worst of times; wisdom and foolishness; hope and despair exist side by side all times, all places. So the point of Carton's prophetic observations at the end is that in the blink of an eye, positions will be switched. But as contrast, Dickens is always an optimist. People have the capacity for good, retribution and vengeance will never match and outlast generosity and goodness; and love will, in the end, triumph. I am in awe of Dickens's ability to craft characters whose defining personality traits make them strongly through the story. And his depiction of France before and during the Revolution is vivid and bloody. For anyone who has read Dickens, the coined phrase "Dickinsonian characters" is highly accurate. The depth he goes to make us fall in love with them and his talent for describing their character so accurately is surely one of his greatest talents and should be always noted in his work. Besides the character and plot building aptitude, Dickens rouses every major emotion of mankind into this tale. The themes Dickens expounds upon are vast. From love to bitterness, from revenge to heroism, from sacrifice to friendship, and back to love again, he touches upon them all. This story covers almost all of the major themes in literature. Man struggling against nature, overcoming adversity, death being part of the life cycle, and of course, sacrifice, are just some of them. These struggles of man nature are also seen in echoes of other scenes, such as Manette's attempts with letting go of his time in prison as he makes his shoes, the memories of his time there still torturing him, and Lucie’s habit of sitting in her parlor as she hears the echo of the footsteps in the street, bringing a foreboding of what's to come combined with her personal battles and the political conflicts of the age.As there are so many meaningful quotes in this novel, I’dlike to talk something about my favorite quotes which make me think a lot. “Crush humanity out of shape onc e more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.”Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities sixty years after the revolution ended. In other words, human suffering isn’t simply an 18th-century French problem. A Tale of Two Cities, with all of the poverty and injustice it displays, is an exploration of conditions that will persist just as long as violence and inequity continue to flourish. "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." A Tale of Two Cities is a novel that works on several levels. Most study it as social commentary about the French Revolution, but the theme that touches me most is love, which is overly sentimental. But the real topic of this book is love: the power of love makes us human, and it also gives us power to do things that we would never dream of doing. It is bravery, devotion and dedication that give ordinary people strength and allow us to be more than human. I firmly believe that in the end love is one of the few things that matters. Read A T ale of Two Cities. Charles Dickens will tell you that and so much more, in words that are immortal a and magnificent. So overall, I truly enjoyed reading this book even though I was impatient to see the action start a little quicker. Charles Dickens’s novel has helped to shape generations of readers’ under standing of love and one of the most pivotal events in modern history, French Revolution. Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton may not have appeared in the history, but they’re stamped in our culturalmemory as key figures in the French Revolution. Dickens succeeds in making the French Revolution live in the hearts and minds of his readers.。

A book report of a Tale of two Cities
By charles Dickens
A Tale of two Cities is written by the English writer Charles Dickens who was born in 1812 and died in 1870. Best known for his classic serialized novels, such as Oliver Twist, a Tale of two Cities, and Great Expectations, he wrote about the London he lived in, the conditions of the poor, and the growing tensions between the classes. He achieved international popular and critical success in his lifetime.
Based on his own personal experiences of working in a factory, a Tale of two Cities is one of his later works. The story was set in London and Paris at the time of the great French Revolution. It exposed the causes of revolution and its effects on people’s day-to-day lives. Moreover it mingled two different clues, love and cruelty.
Before the revolution, the King and the aristocracy treated their people cruelly. Extremely poor and miserable, the common people were lived under sanguinary policy and great pressure. The crops in the fields were poor as if even the land shared the misery of the people. And there were so heavy taxes that all the villagers had nothing to hand over at last. On the other hand, the aristocracy made their will as the law by using money and gold. There was no justice, no equality and no fairness. Just as what happened to Dr. Manette, he had witnessed the crimes committed by
the Marquis Evremonde brothers. He wrote to the Minister to disclose the crime what Marquis Evremonde had done. But as a result, he had been arrested and sent to the prison Bastille without any reason.
The potential of people was tremendous. People who lived on the bottom of class such as the Defarges had prepared for a revolution. The Revolution came to break out, when the Bastille was captured and the King was caught and put to death as well as many other aristocrats. However, things didn’t go on as what they had ever expected. As a consequence, the situation was not changed at all or even worse, as the fundamental tissue had not been resolved. There was still no justice or fairness. As it was quote, in everything they did was merciless, for they had been hardened in the fires of suffering and the touch of pity could make no mark on them. Those people took the charge but their heart had been full of evilness. The only thing they wanted to do was to revenge. These former peasants murdered anyone who they felt represented the old guard. One of the characters Darnay was immediately taken into custody, though he tried desperately to explain that unlike his uncle and father-the Evremonde brothers. Actually he was not a cruel man and knew nothing about his family. He was on the peasants’ side and want ed to help them. But without reason they disregarded his testimony.
Love was as pure as water, Carton had a deeply love towards Lucie, wife of Darnay that he devoted his life for her happiness. When Darnay
was sentenced to death, he used his physical resemblance to Darnay and his ability to manipulate the spy to pull off the ultimate sacrifice.
As a conclusion, with the broad real background of the French Revolution, Charles Dickens told us a story about cruelty, revenge and love.。
