| adam_text | READINGS ON **1 * * . * CONTENTS FOREWORD 10 INTRODUCTION 12 THE PROMISE
OF A BETTER FUTURE: DICKENS AND A TALE OF TWO CITIES 14 CHAPTER ONE:
MAJOR THEMES DEVELOPED IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES 1. DICKENS S USE OF THE
MOTIF OF IMPRISONMENT BY EDGAR JOHNSON 29 ONE OF THE CENTRAL IMAGES IN A
TALE OF TWO CITIES, AS IN SO MANY OTHER WORKS BY DICKENS, IS THE PRISON.
THE AUTHOR S MIXTURE OF FASCINATION WITH AND REVUL- SION FOR JAILS
DERIVED FROM SOME VIVID, PAINFUL, AND HAUNTING CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES. 2.
ACCEPTABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE VIOLENCE IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY JOHN
KUCICH 56 A TALE OF TWO CITIES FEATURES TWO VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF
VIOLENCE. THE FIRST, PRACTICED BY BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER CLASSES, IS
UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT IS CRUEL, COLD, AND ARBITRARY; THE SECOND,
EXEMPLIFIED BY SYDNEY CARTON S CLIMACTIC SACRIFICE, IS ACCEPTABLE
BECAUSE THE READER PERCEIVES IT AS A HUMANE AND NOBLE ACT. 3. RECURRING
METAPHORS OF WATER AND DEATH BY DROWNING BY GARRETT STEWART 47 RUSHING
WATER THAT OVERTAKES, SWALLOWS UP, AND DROWNS ITS VICTIMS IS A METAPHOR
REPEATED FREQUENTLY THROUGHOUT THE PAGES OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES. AND
THE VISION OF A DROWNING MAN CAN BE TAKEN TO SYMBOL- IZE PARIS BEING
ENGULFED BY THE RELENTLESS TIDE OF MOB VIOLENCE AND THE REIGN OF TERROR.
4. PUBLIC EXECUTION IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY CATHERINE GALLAGHER 53
HANGINGS, BEHEADINGS, AND OTHER FORMS OF PUBLIC EX- ECUTION CONSTITUTED
THE ULTIMATE EXPOSURE OF A PER- SON S PRIVACY TO PUBLIC VIEW. DICKENS S
DEPICTIONS OF SUCH EXECUTIONS IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES MIRRORED THE WAY
HE, AS ALL-KNOWING NARRATOR, EXPOSED HIS CHARAC- TERS PRIVATE LIVES AND
THOUGHTS. 5. DICKENS S ODD USE OF CHRISTIAN THEMES IN TALE BY ANGUS
WILSON 63 NOT ALL SCHOLARS CONSIDER A TALE OF TWO CITIES A GREAT BOOK. A
NOTED LITERARY CRITIC HERE EXPLAINS WHY HE THINKS IT IS ONE OF DICKENS S
WEAKEST NOVELS, PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE ODD WAY IT TREATS REDEMPTION AND
OTHER CHRISTIAN THEMES. 6. ULTIMATE JUSTICE OVER INJUSTICE IN A TALE OF
TWO CITIES BY JOHN R. REED 69 A TALE OF TWO CITIES FEATURES MANY
EXAMPLES OF IN- JUSTICE, PERPETRATED BY INDIVIDUALS, SOCIAL GROUPS, AND
NATIONS. AS THE STORY UNFOLDS, DICKENS EXPRESSES IN VARIOUS WAYS HIS
CONTENTION THAT ULTIMATELY THERE WILL BE PUNISHMENT FOR ALL SUCH
PERPETRATORS AND JUS- TICE FOR THEIR VICTIMS. CHAPTER TWO: PIVOTAL
CHARACTERS IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES 1. DICKENS S CHARACTERS ARE FANTASY
VERSIONS OF REAL PEOPLE BY LEONARD MANHEIM 8 1 DICKENS OFTEN BASED HIS
CHARACTERS, TO A GREATER OR LESSER DEGREE, ON REAL PERSONS. IN A TALE OF
TWO CITIES, HE USED THE TECHNIQUE OF MULTIPLE PROJECTION TO CREATE THE
CHARACTERS OF SYDNEY CARTON AND CHARLES DARNAY, EACH OF WHOM REPRESENTS
A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE AUTHOR S CHARACTER. 2. CHARLES DARNAY: A MOST
UNROMANTIC ROMANTIC HERO BY EDWIN M. EIGNER 92 TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, AS
THE MAN LUCIE LOVES AND MARRIES, CHARLES DARNAY IS THE ROMANTIC HERO OF
A TALE OF TWO CITIES. BUT DICKENS UNDERCUTS DARNAY S HEROIC IMAGE BY
PORTRAYING HIM AS A WELL-MEANING BUT WEAK-WILLED, BLAND, AND
GUILT-RIDDEN MILKSOP. 3. DR. MANETTE S ESCAPE FROM PRISON TO FREEDOM BY
JACK LINDSAY 10 1 NIDER5 STAATS-U.UNIV.-I BIFCUOTHEK . GOTHNGEN DR.
MANETTE S UNJUST IMPRISONMENT AND ULTIMATE RE- LEASE SYMBOLIZE THE
CENTRAL THEME OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES *ESCAPE FROM THE DARKNESS OF
MISERY AND RE- PRESSION INTO THE LIGHT OF LOVE, HUMANITY, AND TRUTH. 4.
THE MEMBERS OF DICKENS S CROWD ACT AS A SINGLE CHARACTER BY DAVID CRAIG
108 THE REVOLUTIONARY MOB RAGED AND ROARED, LIKE A MAD MONSTER, WRITES
DICKENS IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES. THAT MONSTER, IN WHICH MANY INDIVIDUALS
HAVE CONVERGED TO FORM A SINGLE FACELESS MASS, PLAYS A ROLE IN THE
UNFOLDING DRAMA, JUST AS LUCIE, DARNAY, CARTON, AND THE OTHER CHARACTERS
DO. CHAPTER THREE: THE TREATMENT OF SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL UPHEAVAL IN A
TALE OF TWO CITIES 1. DICKENS S AND CARLYLE S VISIONS OF AN INHUMANE
SOCIETY BY DAVID D. MARCUS 115 IN WRITING A TALE OF TWO CITIES, DICKENS
FELT THE IN- FLUENCE OF HIS FRIEND, THE GREAT SCOTTISH HISTORIAN THOMAS
CARLYLE, WHOSE OWN WORKS OFTEN CONCERNED GOOD, WELL-MEANING PEOPLE
STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE IN SOCIETIES THAT HAVE BECOME COLD, UNFEELING, AND
INHU- MANE. 2. GENERATIONAL CONFLICT IN DICKENS S TALE BY ALBERT D.
HUTTER 124 A TALE OF TWO CITIES IS THE STORY OF A NATION TORN BY
POLITICAL AND FAMILY CONFLICTS, A STRUGGLE IN WHICH A NEW GENERATION
TRIES TO BREAK AWAY FROM LONG-RE- PEATED CYCLES OF REPRESSION, ABUSE,
AND MURDER. BUT THAT GENERATION TOO EASILY FALLS INTO THE TRAP OF RE-
PEATING THE SINS IT SEEKS TO BURY. 3. THE SOCIAL COLLECTIVE VERSUS THE
INDIVIDUAL IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY COTES BALDRIDGE 133 THE FRENCH
SOCIETY DICKENS DEPICTS IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES COMPRISED BROAD CLASSES
OF PEOPLE, AND THE ~. FRENCH REVOLUTION STRESSED THE NEEDS AND RIGHTS OF
THE GROUP OVER THOSE OF THE INDIVIDUAL. DICKENS S TREATMENT OF THE
STORY S EVENTS AND CHARACTERS REVEALS THAT HIS PERSONAL SYMPATHIES LIE
RATHER WITH THE NEEDS AND RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL. 4. CYCLICAL HISTORY
IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY ELLIOT L. GILBERT 144 DICKENS S APPROACH TO
PRESENTING THE EVENTS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION WAS AN ASSAULT ON
TRADITIONAL HIS- TORICAL METHOD, WHICH VIEWS PAST EVENTS AS DISTINCT
ACTIONS THAT LEAD UP TO AND HELP SHAPE THE PRESENT; RATHER, IN A TALE OF
TWO CITIES THE PRESENT IS ESSEN- TIALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN THE PAST, AND
THE FUTURE WILL BE LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE PRESENT. 5. A TALE OF TWO
CITIES AS GREAT DRAMA BY RICHARD J. DUNN 152 IN MANY WAYS, DICKENS S A
TALE OF TWO CITIES PRE- SENTS THE UPHEAVALS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AS
A THEATRICAL EVENT, A HIGHLY DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE EN- ACTED ON THE STAGE
OF HISTORY. 6. DICKENS S TALE ATTEMPTS TO BREAK HISTORY S CHAIN OF
VIOLENCE BYJ.M. RIGNALL 159 ONE WAY OF VIEWING THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IS
AS JUST ANOTHER VIOLENT EVENT IN A LONG CHAIN OF CATASTROPHES SPANNING
KNOWN HISTORY. DICKENS TRIES BUT ULTIMATELY FAILS TO BREAK THIS VIOLENT
CHAIN IN A TALE OF TWO CITIES. CHRONOLOGY 167 FOR FURTHER RESEARCH 169
