How these conflicts caused change in the book
When Darnay was to be executed Carton wanted Darnay to be able to live with his family and so he took the place of Darnay and Carton was the person who was executed in the end of the book.
When Darnay was arrested Doctor Manette fought for him to be free. When Darnay went to trial the first time all of the efforts that Doctor Manette made paid off and the jury acquitted him
This conflict caused change in Doctor Manette because he found strength and power for the first time since his imprisonment after he helped Darnay. This shows that if you fight for someone else you can end up changing the way you see some things and the way you are.
This changed the life of many people such as, Lucie, Little Lucy, Darnay, Manette, and Carton. FIrst of all Lucie and little Lucie will be able to live their lives with Darnay around. Manette is changed because he won't have to see Lucie go through a rough time loosing Darnay which could have saved him from another relapse. Also, Darnay will be changed because he will realize that Carton gave up his life for Darnay's. Carton's life is changed because he feels good about helping Darnay but he loses his life because of it.
