Literature Analysis #3

 A Tale of Two Cities

The theme of A Tale of Two Cities is that Darnay and Lucie have fallen in love with one another and have a child. They are separated for about 5 years and still feel the same way with each other when Darney is released. Unfortunately Darnay is sent back to prison but Carton switches with Darnay so he can live his life with Lucie.
The authors tone is hope. An example is when Darnay is sent to prison again and is called upon to be executed. Dickens wants the reader to have hope that Darnay will somehow be released to be back with his wife. The tone can also be that love will always find a way.
Conflict-An example is when Darnay gets arrested for the second time.
Symbolism- An example is France and London. This is were the book takes place and they symbolize the revolution going on in the book.
Indirect Characterization-An example is that Darney is not his real name, he has another name as well. This is showing that he has secretes that the others do not know about.
Indirect Characterization-An example is when Marquis is found dead after talking to Darnay. This shows that Darnay may have killed him because he had talked to him the night before.
Direct Characterization-Miss Poss and Lorry destroy and burn the shoemakers table. This shows that the two of them do not like what is going on with the "shoemaker"
Yes, the authors diction and syntax change when he focuses on a certain character because Dickens does this to create a different sense of tone for the character he is on.
No after reading the book I did not come away feeling like I met a character in the book.
