Tale of Two Cities 7

Darnay is shown as the "sinner" figure once again because "His mind was so full of others, that he never once thought of Carton." Being as Carton is the Christ figure Darnay seems like a typical person to me in today's society. Most people don’t acknowledge God until they’re in dire need of a miracle. But since Carton doesn’t even come across Darnay’s mind it shows he needs more than a miracle.

My hypothesis of a foreshadow was actually accurate!! YAY! In one of my previous blogs I foreshadowed a change in Mr. Cruncher. Of him in general and also his look on Christianity or Mrs. Cruncher’s prayers. Mr. Cruncher asks Ms. Pross of she’d “take notice o’ two promises…to record…” )probably just in-case he died trying to escape). First he vowed to never participate in grave digging; “Never, no more!” And second, he would never “interfere with Mrs. Cruncher’s flopping [(praying)], never no more!” Cruncher stated “that wot my opinions respectin’ flopping has undergone a change, and that wot I only hope with all my heart as Mrs. Cruncher may be a flopping at the present time.”

The scene when Ms. Pross and Madame Defarge are “[speaking] in [their] own language; neither [understanding] the other’s words…” is seen as a comic relief to me. Picturing two women from different countries screaming criticizing remarks at each other is pointless if they can’t understand the language! But never-the-less, their point was made by “[deducing] from look and manner, what the unintelligible words [meant].”
