当认真看完一本名著后，相信大家都增长了不少见闻，需要写一篇读后感好好地作记录了。那要怎么写好读后感呢？
"This is the best of times and the worst of times." The first sentence of a tale of two cities is quoted numerous times. But I guess the man who knows this sentence and the novel "tale of two cities" tells a story, and does not know why. If you want to understand the original meaning of this sentence, and why you write this classic sentence, it is natural to read the original.
"In short, that era is so similar to todays." This sentence actually explains the two questions of the above classic sentence: why do you say that, and to whom? This is one of the reasons why the novel was born, dickens hope that through such a novel, by describing the French revolution brought disaster to the people to express their own worry, warn the dangerous situation at the same time. A revolutionary history, two cities representing two countries, a few wind and rain people, constitute the main elements of the novel.
Although the tale of a tale of two cities is a classic novel, it is considered to be the authors view of history because it explicitly states that the revolutionary background is the French revolution. And that is the focus of countless controversies over the novel. In the novel, dickens showed the cruelty of the aristocracy, but also showed the irrational destruction of the revolutionary masses. The revolution, he argued, was a kind of oppression that replaced another kind of oppression, and a bloodbath that was a direct and heavy one instead of another. A series of depictions of the storming of the bastille and of the mob - bloody, brutal, cunning, malevolent - is the most striking aspect of the novel.
Dickens has devoted a great deal of ink to the evil of the mob, showing his abhorrence of the mob and, in a certain degree, the hatred of the revolution. Of course, as a humanist, dickens also points out the cure for the world: love. This kind of love, embodied in the novel includes family love, love, friendship and such private feelings, also includes the abandonment of the aristocracy, the salvation of the kind of fraternity. Among them, the most brilliant is the description of cartons love.
I like carton very much. In fact, carton was the embodiment of dickens, and dickens was the first to think of the man and the spirit of his body to conceive the novel. So, what was carton like? The novel describes: "the sun is sad and mournful, and the rising of sorrow, the sight unseen, is nothing worse than this man. He is talented and emotional, but he has no opportunity to show his talent. He cant do anything, and he cant make his own happiness. He knew his problem, but he resigned himself to his fate, and he wasted all his time, year after year.
It is a young man who has lost his talent and youth. The novel does not appear to have been explained, since he has appeared in the first place, and has not written much about his family background. Personally, this man represents dickens himself, so he does not need to describe too much - the fall of carton comes from his frustration with the deteriorating society. He went up to the guillotine and said, "I see the evil of this age, and the evil of the former times, which has caused this evil, and I have gradually died for my SINS."
Pessimists - caton, was rejected by his friends meet with difficulties, in the love of a womans husband is about to be guillotined in when he suddenly appeared, be dont save the situation, do price with his own life, in the Nick of time to make a replace plan to rescue his beloved womans husband.
It is not the love of Christ, who has redeemed his sin and died. In fact, in the novel, carton did indeed say, in the biblical tone, "the resurrection is in me, the life is in me, and the man who believes in me, though dead, will rise again. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. This is the medicine that dickens prescribed for "the worst of times"， but it is, after all, an ideal. It is said that the tale of a tale of two cities is an immortal work without Sidney. The existence and behavior of carton, the novel loses its value and brilliance.
"A tale of two cities" is one of Dickens's most important representative novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on,which displayed people's great strength. The novel has portrayed many different people. Doctor Manette is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually,Lucie is beautiful and gentle,Charles is graceful and noble,Lorry is upright and honest,Sydney is semblance of indifferent, innermost feelings of warm,unconventional but also selfless and lofty,Miss Pross is straightforward and loyal,Evremonde brothers are cruel and 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. As an outstanding writer,in Dickens's work,the language skill is kind of rhetoric technique,like the analogy,the exaggeration,the contrast,the humorous,and the taunt are handled skillfully,and the artistry of the work is also delivered the peak."A tale of two cities" has its difference with the general historical novel, its character and the main plot are all the broad real background of the French Revolution,the author take the fictional character Doctor Manette's experience as the main clue,interweaves the unjust charge, love and revenge three independences but also incident cross-correlation stories together,the plot is criss-crossed,and the clue is author use narrates,foreshadowing,upholstery and so many techniques,causes the structure integrity and strictness,the plot winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature,it displayed the remarkable artistic style "A tale of two cities" is solemnity and melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the humor of the early works.
This winter vacation I read the works of dickens, the following is my feeling.
The story goes that the marquis of evremonde raped the peasant woman, and her brother knew it, and he fought with the marquis and failed. And he was badly hurt. Perhaps the marquis did not want to make a big deal of it. Just a doctor, and this is another important character, Dr. Manette. And the poor Dr Manette was sent to the bastille by the marquis for his knowledge of the matter. Eighteen years later, it's time to meet again.。.
I see a lot of different people in the story. Honest good horse knight doctor, sweet Lucy, elegant and noble, Charles loyal lowry, appearance indifference, inner passion, wild and selfless lofty Sidney, distorted humanity's hair day, Mrs Miss generous loyalty prologis, cruel and wicked fremont brothers el.。.
This Charles was a nephew of the marquis of esremonde, but he did not accept the title and left France for England. He became a French teacher by himself in London.
There was also a man named Sidney carton, who looked at the ceiling from the beginning of the court, but one of his notes debunked the plaintiff's plot. It was easy for him to give the impression of slovenliness, depression, and greed, but he changed his clothes with Charles in an emergency, through a jailer, to Charles's prison. Consequences, Charles was sent out of the French, but were guillotined caton, he said a words: before death is what I do now I have done the best, the most good things in life; What I am about to receive is the quietest and most peaceful rest of my life.
After the revolution, the revolutionaries are lost reason, killing innocent people, and in order to save Charles former servant, stand and walk, came to France, but the results were revolutionaries to escape the identity to shut up, Lucy and her father horse knight doctor hurriedly rushed to France, because of his off in the bastille for eighteen years, be called a hero, his son-in-law and privileged ─ Charles provides a good condition. But she was the sister of the brother and sister, and she had always hated the marquis of evremonde. Charles was also the nephew of the marquis of evremonde, so she tried her best to make the most of Charles. But in the end he died in his own gun.
The novel ended with a "happy reunion," but my heart was filled with bitterness when I read that carton was replacing Charles on the execution grounds for Lucy.
This holiday, I used my spare time to read dickenss "a tale of two cities"， also have some understanding, I will write down my feelings.
1、 Plot arrangement.
The plot of this book is very mysterious, and the author concatenates all kinds of clues, as mentioned in the article, "weaving" becomes the novel. The greatest feature of the novel is the complexity of the characters, such as the relationship between Dr Manette and danan; The relationship between Mrs D urberge and dannan - the two relations directly led to the final tragedy. And the relationship between Mr. Lorry and Mr. DE hair, and the relationship between the pass and the spy, and so on. These complex figures link the work of this book.
One of the most distinctive chapters of the book is a conversation with a little girl before his death, which thoroughly reveals that the revolutionary masses are too crazy and that the good will live on for ever.
2、 Characters.
The most important character in the book is Charles daran (evmond)。 He was a very conflicted man, and he hated his father and uncle very much, but he had to support the whole family business. So when the old servant wrote to him, he had to return to France. He was a kind man, possessed of the civility of a nobleman, and when he met his uncle, he made it clear that he could not persecute the people. At the same time, he gave up the privileges of the nobility, which was a good deed.
Sydney Carton was also an important figure. I have never liked this casual, lazy character in the first half of the novel. But in the process of reading later, I found him to be an aggressive and resourceful person. Although it is "friend"， but actually caton and south relationship is not so good, but for the sake of the family happiness drops of life, caton willing to the guillotine, let fled south, and the embodiment of the eternal good. In the article, carton died "like a prophet"。
Mr And Mrs D arge also belong to the books focus. He was a good man, and he took Dr Manette, and told his wife after the revolution that he would accept it. She was an avenger, and she had been persecuted by the evremonde brothers, so she wanted to kill all the French aristocrats. Of course, because of her violent behaviour, she died in the hands of miss pross.
3、 Writing features.
This novel is very humorous, and the author has been using dialectical relations and repeated techniques to achieve this effect. Therefore, this touching novel can still be read with great laughter.
One of the features of the article is that the last author "helps carton express his feelings"。 The author used catons language to show the end of the article, telling people that "kindness is forever in the world"。
Thats how I read the novel.
I wrote this after reading this literature, it was so wonderful that I could not restrain my excitement. In particular, when reading the last two or three chapters, the hazy, misty plots slowly seem to have been cleared by the light of the first sunlight and the fog of the fog. No wonder the author, Charles Dickens, said that he was "deeply moved and excited" by the novel and longed to play Sidney carton on the stage himself. Sidney, in my opinion, caton is indeed a can let a person "deeply moved, very excited, though, I began to he didn't play very interested, just a wild gentleman; The scene of the last brother and sister heading off to the guillotine really made me cry. In particular, the final message, which includes the ending of the novel, reveals the character of Sidney carton and the goodness of human nature. "What I've done is the best and the best thing I've ever done. What I am about to receive will be the most peaceful and peaceful rest of my life. It's really a tear-jerker.
First, a little personal opinion about the characters.
The first one is jarvis lorry. From the back, he was a dedicated banker who was extremely loyal to the bank and to his friend Alexander manette. He has been at the bank for at least a few decades, and from the author's witty description of "the various dark cabinets in tellson's bank, some elderly old men are working hard. When tellson's, hired a young man in London, they always hide he has been in the old, like a piece of cheese hid him in a dark corner, until he was with complete sets of tellson flavour, full of stains or mold." And you can see that. All that matters to him is the care and help of his old friends. I remember writing in the article that he could put aside his work for an old friend. And the morbidity of her father after lucie's marriage made Mr. Lorry very uneasy: "Mr. Lorry's life was as good as ever, and his hopes grew dim, and his mood increased." "And Mr. Lorry, exhausted by his anxious day and night, fell asleep on duty." "But then he suddenly began to suspect that he was still dreaming." It was to the extent of exhaustion that he could see how deep his friendship was with his friends. And, finally, if it were not for lowry, for they are prepared to travel relatively comfortable through the acceptance, with light behind a terrified woman, a man who fainted, a small child, a delirious elderly, again how also escape not escape from the so-called "people" clutches.
One more figure is Lucy. Her own appearance has already determined that she is a compassionate and weak and strong woman. For her father, who had been imprisoned for eighteen years, she helped him through difficult times with her love. First back to her father to help him out of the bondage of the body, for the father of the deep into his mind is not on a regular basis the suffering of the memory, only she can the fastest, the most gentle comfort living father's uncertain heart, this is a helpless old friends lowry. There is to testify in court, she fairly with affection, "in the face of such compassion, so moving youth and beauty, at this time the mood of the defendant, than face all the people watching more uncomfortable." And so on, and so forth; When she finally kissed her husband, she stuck to it, as strong as anyone who faced tragedy. She was still a bit of a backer, but she was the embodiment of love.
She said that her father had to be mentioned. Alexander manette's life is worth considering, how much injustice, how much experience, how much trauma, all make us think. After being cared for by his daughter, he was equally able to give back to his daughter. He finally showed the story of a father who cared about his daughter with love. Likewise, I think he has his great misfortune. It, life is very rough, and eventually to really bring happiness for the daughter, relapse, full house for his work, is at this time, he felt old and helpless. One tragedy leads to another.
For darnay, the man, in general, pursued his mother's philosophy and "set off a series of events" (which is not a repudiation of him)。 He was also a kind man, and because of this he went back to his family and he was in trouble. This is also the result of a complex set of causes.
One of the most legendary and tearful is Sidney carton. The appearance of "always looking at the ceiling" shows his dissolute, and later we find out that he is really an annihilated talent, who is unable to dissolve into the society at that time. Inner feelings also very noble, is ultimately fulfilled the rival in love (let's just say so, but they haven't think they really like the story of the relationship between the bucket over, well, here also see his calm, may be installed? If it is, it means he has a lot of talent. That's an admirable person. He didn't care what he did when he escaped, but he was the only one who knew what to do and what not to do. The death of darnay and his wife, in memory of his death is a matter of god! Finally he met in his sister's, on the execution ground, comfort, encouragement, his sister, is a look at all the detachment of life, the novel also wrote "that night, the city of Paris about him, say on the calendar year, Laura pavilion the most calm. Many also say that he has a holy face, like a prophet's prophet. The character of the book is very exciting, such as in going to jail for up to jailbreak before and after Mr Lowry confessed, "caton into the yard, there alone for a moment, looked up at her house lights. He blessed him softly and said, 'goodbye forever,' and vanished into the darkness. While I was reading this, I was vaguely aware that something was wrong, but I could not think of anything that would change because of the fact that he had told him to wait for him. This sentence is a little sad, want to make a person cry but not let a person cry out of taste. This is the description of carton's heart, beneath the surface of the light, the heart of a man who is devoted to the love of others.
The villain, especially madame Defarge, can be said to be an old man of revenge under the guise of the people. Her most common movement was knitting, without saying a word, but everything was in her heart, and she remembered it on her knitting. People like this have a feeling of fear of her, a cold, unhuman embodiment. The Jacques three around them, the vengeful woman, and so on, were all in a state of confusion, only to feel the pleasure of cutting off the heads of others. They did not, at all, have the same kind of consciousness as madame DE senor, but the desecration of life, from their messy appearance and corrupt manners. He wanted to overthrow the king, but there was a certain amount of affection for the old master he had served before. His wife said to her, her husband, "honest want to save the doctor a" visible, hair, still can hardly is neutral, but it forced him to host a begin, he is living in the contradiction, may be affected by his revenge heart strong wife.
Suspense, the novel is full, it is the more see more understand, like a stream seriatim together, finally became a great river pentium, make a person more see more exciting, more want to see. For example, the most prominent is the second chapter 6 "hundreds of people" and chapter 7, "marquis master in the city" has nothing to do, if the chapter 7, alone can also be a novel. Until later see that he is to reach in life, then saw Lucy, then saw his relationship to the old physician, and finally with the doctor's letter, complex relationships take in everything in a glance, to expound characters relations, has a good supporting role. Undoubtedly, the last two chapters are the climax, the most exciting part. The last brother and sister were more than I had imagined, and the author's arrangement clearly highlighted carton, who was a symbol of justice. Now, calm down and think about why all the siblings are locked inside. I think the most fundamental reason is that this revolution in the author's eye itself is chaotic, there is no human rights, crazy people just follow their own will, that ultimately leads to tragedy.
After all, this work is a good and evil confrontation, the victory of good, an exciting end. Let us ponder whether the revenge is worth doing, but the revenge of madame DE sendai is not made in a day, in response to the dead brother, sister, and father; It is the brand of class struggle that inevitably forms the concept of revenge and makes her cold character. At the end of the day, there is a certain responsibility for all aspects, and the social environment is an inseparable factor.
Generally speaking, this is a very good novel.
I read a tale of two cities, the reason is that there are a lot of net friend recommendation online, they all said it was a very touching book, Ill download on the net with curiosity, finished part feels good, just write this entry.
The tale of a tale of two cities is a profound depiction of the turbulent times of the day, and the love of women who have sacrificed their lives for historical realities.
It is said on the Internet that the tale of a tale of two cities is a story of two men and a woman, but I feel that the man does not know what the author really means. s DE, in my opinion, a hatred and French aristocrat, Lucy, Charles and Sydneys feelings, is just to show who caused the war, why things. In fact, people have to be tolerant to others, even if the big things can be small and small. I remember one thing that happened to me: once, I accidentally lost my classmates book, and I thought she would pay me for it. I didnt think that when I spoke to her, she not only did not scold me, but also told me that I could not forget the whole thing in the future, so I should form good habits. Well, maybe this is the attitude between people.
In this work, I see a lot of different people. Honest good yet suffered persecution horse knight doctor, loyal lowry, appearance indifference, inner passion, dissolute and selfless Sidney, inhuman DEs wife, cruel and wicked fremont brothers el.。. There is a complex hatred in it, but it creates more hatred, and this complicated act is vividly presented in front of us, and we seem to be back to the era of the irrational. Some people complain that being born in this century is a bad thing, to be born in the past, at least to be a martyr. In fact, this idea is wrong. We should make contribution to modern life in modern times. And have all kinds of people in the world, they all have different personalities, we who dont cry because it is the character of the weird and dont make friends with him, also dont believe that the people around, maybe he is one of them want to harm you.
What I like most about a tale of two cities is Sidney, the lawyers assistant. Carlton. His first appearance was different, and when the people in the courtroom looked casually at the ceiling, one of his notes revealed the plot behind the case. Him with a melancholy, in an appearance as a lawyer, he is talented, but is reluctant to hiding behind the somebody else, do others stepping stone of success, he built his own hands and a wall, cut off from fame and wealth. He once said, "I am a desperate coolie. I dont care about anyone in the world, and nobody CARES about me."
Yes, we should not aspire to be famous, so we can not learn more knowledge. Maybe you can be a stepping stone to others, and you can learn more knowledge from others. We can see his strengths and weaknesses, learn his strengths, and throw away his weaknesses.
Recently I read a novel called A Tale of Two Cities. The novel is based on the French Revolution. It was 1775,both England and France were on the verge of Revolution 。Englands king ，George Ⅲ，was having trouble with his American colonies 。And France s king ，LouisⅩⅥ， was too concerned with his own wealth to worry about his people 。
Therefore, neither king noticed the changes taking place in his country 。They didnt realize ，or care ，that the peasants were hungry and unhappy 。They never thought that anything was wrong with the way things were 。They were wealthy ，and they thought only of themselves.
But the peasants were tired of being treated unfairly. They were tired of watching the kings waste money while their own children starved. So, in both London and Paris, the lower classes prepared to revolt 。They were ready to force the kings to make a change.
Then one day in July of 1789, the Revolution began in France 。Armed peasants ran through the streets of Saint Antoine 。Their leader, Ernest Defarge continued to pass out weapons. The men cheered and waved their weapons in the air 。Then, they marched toward the Bastille.
The novel also talks the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton.， who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a romantic French aristocrat, his uncle is the Marquis St.
Evremonde. The Marquis is infamous for his cruelty. While is a cynical English barrister. However, the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette.
Charles Darnay is not cruel like his uncle has been. When he knew his servant is in danger, he went to France at once to defend him. He had promised his mother that he would help the peasants. He had a hard time traveling through France. When he finally reached Paris, he was taken prisoner. In my point of view, Charles Darnay is innocent, he is not cruel.
The other one is Sydney Carton.
In my opinion, he is a wonderful man. He once said,‘I am not worthy of your love, but I want you to know that I wish for your happiness. I hope that we will able to remain close friends. Miss Manette, I would give my life for you. Never forget that, Lucie.’ Eventually, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place. Because Charles Darnay is Lucie’s husband, and they led a happy life. In order to help Lucie live a enjoyable life, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place.
From the novel A tale of two cities 。I learn much ，not only the Revolution in two different cities ，but also the deep relationship between people 。Im impressed by Mr. Manettes tough spirit ，never give in to difficulties 。Even though he had been imprisoned a long time ，he struggled to live. He was also an upright man 。When his son -in -law was arrested by the Revolutionists, Dr.Manette strongly defended Charles Darnay ，hoped that the Revolutionists could release Charles Darnay 。
Lucie Manette gives me a deep impression 。At the beginning of the novel, I learn that her father had passed, but then,Mr. Lorry told her that her father was still alive. Because Lucie s father was imprisoned for a long time 。Her mother begged the king to help her ，but he gave no reply 。She suffered terribly when her husband disappeared ，so she told her daughter that her father had died 。But she never stopped looking for Lucies father 。The king was of no help ，and she never found even one clue 。Two years after his disappearance ，she died 。
I am deeply impressed by the other characters in the novel.
Mr.Lorry is also a good man ，at the first of the novel ，when he met Miss Lucie ，and told her that her father was still alive 。Besides ，he helped her
to find her father in Paris 。On the way to Paris ，they experienced many difficulties 。But Mr.Lorry didnt give up helping Miss Lucie and Lucie s father 。As far as I concerned ，it not only show his hospitality but also show his hatred to the European royal.
In Paris, the Marquis St. Evrémonde, Darnays uncle, is returning from an audience with Monseigneur, one of the greatest lords in France, when his coach runs over and kills the son of the peasant Gaspard; he throws a coin to Gaspard to compensate him for his loss; in the assembled crowd is the implacable tricoteuse, Madame Defarge. He throws the money back, enraging the Marquis and leading him to exclaim that he would willingly kill any of the peasants of France.
If I were a peasant at that time in England or France,I would join in the revolution with no hesitation 。All man are equal 。The king of country should concern his people whether they are starving or homeless 。We can learn much from history in our country or in other countries ，only when the leader of the country cares much about his peoples life can the country be stronger 。People are the base of the country ，without people ，country can not be stronger and can not develop.
This holiday, I used my spare time to read dickens's "a tale of two cities"， also have some understanding, I will write down my feelings.

One of the features of the article is that the last author "helps carton express his feelings"。 The author used caton's language to show the end of the article, telling people that "kindness is forever in the world"。
That's how I read the novel.
A tale of two cities is one of dickens's most important representative works. Long before writing a tale of two cities, dickens is very concern on the French revolution, reread the British historian, Carlyle's “French revolution” and other scholar's related works. His strong interest of the French revolution began in the British lurking at the time the concerns of the serious social crisis. At the end of 1854, he said: “I believe that dissatisfaction like smoke fire up worse than, this special like the public before the French revolution for the first time, it's danger, for one thousand kinds of reasons, such as poor harvest, the nobility of bossy and incompetent the already tense situation last to defeat in war, overseas and domestic events and so on -- into that have never seen a terrible fire.” Visible, a tale of two cities of the historical novel creation motive sees, in the history of the French revolution experience for reference, to the bell of the ruling class; At the same time, through the extreme portrayal of the revolutionary terrorist, also to harbor resentment, attempting to violence against the tyranny of the masses, warned that fantasy for the status quo of social contradictions increasingly deepen to find a way out.
Starting from this purpose, the novel profoundly revealed before the French revolution deeply intensified the social contradictions, strongly criticized aristocracy dissolute brutal, and deep sympathy for the lower people's suffering. Work pointedly said, the people's patience is limited, under the cruel rule of the noble class, the people under the livelihood, is bound to fight. This kind of resistance is justice. Novel in people's uprising against the bastille, etc, was also depicted spectacular scenes, shows the great power of the people. However, author station on the bourgeois humanitarian grounds, namely against brutal tyranny which oppressed the people, people also objected to revolt against the tyranny of the violence. In Charles Dickens, the revolution is portrayed as a great disaster of destruction, it ruthlessly punish evil gentry class, also kill innocent people blindly.
The novel created three types of characters. Category is urban Mr Monte marquis brother as a representative of the feudal aristocracy, they only unshakable philosophy is “oppression”, is the author of pain and flay object. Another kind is to cut stone couples, such as the revolutionary masses. It must be pointed out that their image is distorted. Such as cutting stone wife, Diana, she was born in peasant, insulted, persecution of the feudal nobles with great hatred, the author deeply sympathize with her misery, really appreciated her strong personality, before and after the revolution, excellent talents and extraordinary leadership ability; But when revolution is further thorough, a pen and put her as a ruthless, fierce, narrow avenger. Especially when her to the doctor house raids dasey, “and the path is characterized by more bloodthirsty men. Finally, the author let her die under his muzzle, makes it clear that the negative attitude. The third kind is ideal character, the author thinks to humanitarian resolving social contradictions, in order to love overcome hatred, including speech, father and daughter, darnay, unquestioned and Carl's, etc. Meini, the doctor is marquis brother may have caused the destruction of the marquis brother with great hatred, but for the sake of her daughter's love, can abandon the old feud hate; Darnay is marquis brother's sons and nephews, his big end, condemn the sin of his family abandoned the rank of nobility and property, are determined to ”sin“ with their own actions. This to reflect the character of each other, one is the victim of the aristocratic tyranny and tolerance for pregnant; One is the successor to the noble marquis, advocate benevolence. Among them, more as a daughter and wife ”。 Hold in the bond of love, they form a mutual understanding, emotion harmonious happy family. This is obviously the author thought a violent revolution and the opposite way out of resolving social contradictions, is unrealistic.
A tale of two cities is different from general historical novel, its character and the main plot are imaginary. During the French revolution broad real background, the author clues to give priority to with fictional characters meini, doctor's experience, the unjust charge three independent each other, love and revenge and interconnected stories interweave together, intricate plot, intricate plot. The author take the flashbacks, interleave technique such as, stage, bedding, make the novel complete structure, tense and dramatic plot twists and turns, showed excellent artistic skills. A tale of two cities style solemn, depressed, etc, but the lack of humor early works.
The tale of two cities is a historical story, one of Dickens’ long fictions.The background to the novel is the revolution of France 。It portrayed a brutal and bloody story ， but it also contained love and friendship.
In the novel, Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman-marquis of Evermonde 。 When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family 。What’s worse ， he used his power to imprison Dr Manette ， a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes 。 In order to hide their crimes. Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years 。 During these 18 years,Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit 。
I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. Because their nature was cruel and evil, like demons. There is an old saying which means: People who mit too many crimes will kill themselves. After all, there is justice in the world. The demons can’t be rampant forever. Because the world will not forgive them. They will pay their lives for their crimes. Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis,He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.
The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman. Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down 。 However, some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde. To the opposite of his uncle, Darney was a kind and independent young man.
Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison. It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. During this time, Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton, the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time 。 At last, Lucie married Chares Darney 。Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. This is the love between father and daughter. And Sydeny Carton ， the very great man ，loved Lucie deeply. He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. He did it truely ，he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him. This is love for lovers 。 This is the most wonderful thing in the world. It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. At the end ， Lucie, Dr Manette and Darney arrived in England safely.
The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France. The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main clue.The plots are plicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is plete and rigorous.
Dickens had dear love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators. But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

Besides, this novel criticizes the violence and oppression in the society. In this novel, the author not only expresses his humanitarianism on the love between human beings, but also expresses his view according to his critics to the violence and oppression in that society. The author expresses his opinion on two parts. First, he criticizes the aristocrats, esp. the representative Marquis of Evremonde. Second, he also criticizes the revolutionaries in the French Revolution. However, when we see from the description of the couple, the author does not think high of the revolution. When the revolutionaries begin their revenge, the author describes that everyone is terrible, the man is terrible, the woman crazy, and there is not a human creature at that time.

These days I have read the well-known masterpiece A Tale of Two Cities. There are various roles in the book, and their relationship is amazing, which is unimaginabe.
The two cities mean England and Paris. The background of the novel is the big Revolution of France. The brutal Mrs.Defarge, innocent Charels, very kind Mr.Sydney Carden, and the devoted maiden gave me a deep impression.
I have a favorable impression about good persons while I hate the bad guys. Mr Carden was loyal to friends. He valued the sentiment among others. He fell in love with Lucy the first time he met her. Although Lucy refused him, his love for her was never changed. He even exchange himself for Lucy's husband to jail because he hoped Lucy would never be sad. This figure moved me so much.
