Book The First
Chapter 6
a) Narrator: "So entirely had it lost the life and resonance of the human voice, that it affected the scenes like a once beautiful color faded away into a poor weak stain."
b) Narrator: "He had gradually dropped to the floor, and lay there in a lethargy, worn out." pg 42
b) Dr. Manette: "She had laid her head upon my shoulder...she had a fear of my going, though I had none...Those were the words I said. I remember them very well." pg 40
a) Narrator: "It died out, as everything but his shoemaking did die out of him." pg 40
Description of b: The quote above touches on the topic of Dr. Manette starting to remember things because of his daughter. This makes him "recalled to life" and his daughter is helping him remember. The opposing quote below talks about him being worn out and somewhat tired of trying to remember but he can't. This shows duality because there are things that he does remember and there are some things that he forgets.
Description of a: The quote above talks about things in Dr. Manette's life that have changed. Dickens talks about things that were once beautiful in color but now faded into a poor weak stain. The quote below talks about how things, like his shoe making, completely die. It is not just faded or changed, it is completely gone. Even though some may see this as similar, it shows duality because some aspects are just changing and some are completely gone.
Chapter 3
a) Doctor: "Eighteen years!...Gracious Creator of day! To be buried alive for eighteen years!" pg 13
b) Narrator/Doctor: " Sometimes the broken reply was 'Wait! It would kill me if I saw her too soon.'" pg 12
a) Mr Lorry & The Dr.: "' You know that you are recalled to life?' 'They tell me so.' 'I hope you care to live?' 'I can't say.'" pg 11
b) Narrator/Doctor: "Sometimes, it was given in a tender rain of tears and then it was 'Take me to her.'" pg 12
Description of a: The quote above shows Mr. Lorry and the doctor talking when he is being released from jail after eighteen years. Mr. Lorry begins to say how the doctor is recalled to life and asks if the doctor is happy about this all the doctor says is "I can't say." This shows that the doctor doesn't think much of being set free. While on the other side of this, duality begins to appear because at the end of the chapter, the doctor says the below quote and it shows how he is happy to get out of prison while he is screaming.
Description of b: The above quote is the doctor answering Mr. Lorry's questions of "Shall I show her to you" and saying how he would "die" if he saw her, meaning he's not ready at all to see his daughter. However, in the below quote, the doctor is still answering Mr. Lorry's question but he says he cannot wait to see her and wants to be with her. This shows the duality of the doctor and how he has mixed emotions of being let out of prison and being introduced into the real world again where his past is waiting for him.
Chapter 5
Description of a: The first quote above shows how everyone turned into dogs as soon as this wine barrel broke. This is due to everyone struggling to find clean drinking water so they had to get as much as they could. These people were acting like animals. The opposing quote below shows a different side of these people though. They were laughing abd amused rather. Thinking about what they are going through, one would believe these people shouldn't be laughing and happy. These people are showing the bad side of society at the time but also are showing happiness and joy to contrast it.
a) Narrator: " A shrill sound of laughter and of amused voices--voices of men, women, and children--resounded in the street while this wine game lasted." pg 25
a) Narrator: "All the people within reach had suspended their business, or their idleness, to run to the spot and drink the wine...expressly to lame all living creatures that approached them." pg 24
b) Narrator: "Madame Defarge was a stout woman of about his own age... a large hand heavily ringed, a steady face, strong features, and a great composure of manner."
Description of b: The quote above demonstrates Dickens' writing about a woman that seems desirable and overall a better person than many. This type of person doesn't seem to be very common in the area at the time. In the quote below, we can see that a large number of the people are poor and hungry. These contrasting types of people in the same area really helps to emphasize the differences of them. There were people desperate for something to drink and would lick puddles of wine off the ground. But their were also people that didn't suffer as much as seen in Madame Defarge. The duality present here is the poor vs. not poor. This isn't saying that Madame Defarge is rich and a noble, but she doesn't seem to be as desperate and suffering as most others.
b) Narrator: "Hunger. It was prevalent everywhere. Hunger was pushed out of the tall houses, in the wretched clothing that hung upon poles and lines..."
Chapter 4
Description of a: The quote above demonstrates how Mr. Lorry is of an older age. He does seem to be very involved in the life of Lucy, though. As seen in the quote below, we know that Lucy is much younger. She is only at the age of seventeen. This large age difference may affect the plot in some way in the future. They aren't people that are relatable very much, especially due to this age gap.
a) Narrator: "He saw standing to recieve him by the table between them and the fire, a young lady of not more than seventeen, in a riding-cloak." pg 17
a) Narrator: "She curtseyed ti him (young ladies made curtseys in those days), with a pretty desire to convey to him that she felt how much older and wiser he was than she." pg 18
a) Mr. Lorry: "I wish accomodation prepared for a young lady who may come here at any time today. She may ask for Mr. Lorry or she may only ask for a gentleman from atellson's bank. Please let me know." Pg 15
Description of b: In the quote above we can see how Mr. Manette is being described as someone who just disappeared without much else. It seems as though this wasn't very professional in manner and Mr. Manette isn't much of a man of business. In the quote below, we see how Mr. Lorry is in deep contrast to Mr. Manette in this sense. Mr. Lorry seems to see himself as a man of business. This duality makes it seem a little bit off that Mr. Lorry is very invloved in helping Mr. Manette.
b) Mr. Lorry: "As I was saying; if Monsieur Manette had not died; if he had suddenly and silently disappeared; if he had been spirited away..." Pg 20
