《双城记》被誉为描写法国大革命的最杰出的代表作,我想最大的原因可能是因为它的与众不同。和其他的作品,比如卡莱尔的《法国大革命》不同,狄更斯更注重的是底层人民的喜怒哀乐。尽管在那个时代,这些小人物本身并不能引起世界的关注。但是作者敏锐的捕捉到这些小人物和大革命有着千丝万缕的联系,可以说法国大革命本身就是有小人物们的力量所引发的。
这是整本书的开头第一章,将全书的基调定上了悲剧色彩,然而就在这矛盾的时代中,也确实存在过光明。
这本书叙述了法国大革命时期围绕在医生马奈特一家周围的事,这本书颠覆了我对自由,权利以及善恶的看法——法国人民不堪重负,推翻了波旁王朝,然而新政权建立之后朝他们走来的难道是他们心驰神往的自由吗?不,仍然是以往的提心吊胆,稍不留神明天就会被送上断头台。得势之后的德发日太太滥用职权,将死敌们个个置于死地,最后却落得个惨死的下场。正如那句话所说的:“自由啊,有多少罪恶是假借你的名义干出来的。”大革命并不如想象中的那么美好,而是以暴易暴。它没有拯救人民,而是将人民推入了另一个火坑。
再来看看另外一位大革命的牺牲品——达内,革命前,他放弃了国内的家业,只身来到英国谋生,在他看来,压迫人民是一件极不人道的事,然而,革命爆发后,他反而无辜地成为人民的敌人,人们不分青红皂白地要将他领上断头台。不过相信在九死一生之后,他依然是原先那个善良的达内。
而卡顿——一个才华横溢却自甘堕落的律师,他与达内有着相同的长相,却有着不同的命运,在面对活着还是让自己心爱的人得到幸福的抉择时,毅然决然的选择了后者,在他看来,生命在爱的面前是微不足道的,即使在断头台上,他也表现出了令人难以想象的沉着冷静。因为在他的心底,一直有一个信念在支持他:“耶稣说,复活在我,生命也在我,信我的人,虽然死了,也必复活。凡活着信我的人,必永远不死。”他用死完成了自我救赎,他用死来反抗虚伪的革命者,他用死来诠释对露丝的爱。生命,成了他最后的武器,爱,成了他唯一的支柱。
After reading "A tale of two cities"
"A tale of two cities" is one of Dickens's most important representative works。The 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 classes。The 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 sinister。。。。。。The plex 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 w
riter,in Dickens's work,the language skill is essential。Each 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 fictionalizes。With 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 plex。The 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 skill。the style "A tale of two cities" is solemnity and melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the
humor of the 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。搞笑说说大全
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 arri保护地球的标语

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。
