Don’t get me wrong, Darnay and Lucy Manette are literal goals, but Sydney Carton willingly gave up his life so that the woman he was madly in love with could live happily with some other man. He sacrificed everything for her, including the chance at a happier life, all so that she and Darnay could live peacefully in love, even though it was clear that Lucy had no feelings for him. Idk about you, but that sets the bar pretty high for me. That’s love at its finest right there.

He died because he knew Darnay didn't deserve it and by giving his own life, his life would have meaning and he would be good with God. Plus, it's not a steriotype. When something starts a steriotype, the thing that started it isn't a steriotype.

@@HaloEliteLegend I think the term you're looking for is "Trope" which is just a term for narrative tools used in an overall story. Victor Hugo tends to fancy the "Never got their Love" trope- after all he wrote Les Miserables. Either way I like this trope. Not everyone gets True Love and there's a nobility to the idea of being willing to give everything- even your life, even though you'll get nothing in return.

I was forced to read this book for 8th grade English. I Hated IT! But I reread it as an adult and enjoyed it. We were made to read a lot of the classics at too young of an age. As an adult Im rereading them and can appreciate them now!

I have heard some say Cartons act to be selfish. I can think of no more selfliss act than to sacrifice ones life to have the woman you deeply love, but cannot have, live a rich, happy and full life as a result of what you had decided to do. There is no greater power than true love.

It was often claimed that Christopher Nolan based "The Dark Knight Rises" on this book. But I can't see any connection. The story itself is confusing.

Mustafa Kulle What I have heard is that Bane represents madame defarge as a leading revolutionary and in one scene while they are in court Bane is actually knitting just like Madame Defarge always does

Mustafa Kulle Beyond the surface references (Bane "knitting, the fire rises, the revolutionary backdrop, the ToTC quote at the end etc.) both are stories of a man living a purposeless existence. SPOILERS! Carton finds purpose in dying a noble death for the woman he loves, the "last dream of [his] soul, and Bruce Wayne lets go of his past and his anger, lays Batman to rest, and starts his life fresh, happier, and more at peace. So really they're like mirror images. One finds purpose in a sacrificial death and the other finds purpose in a regained will to live. Both are "born again".

Honestly dislike 90% of the book but that ending is one of the best ever
