In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens uses a variety of themes,

including, revenge, revolution, fate, imprisonment and more. Though

these are very important themes, and were integral elements of this

novel, resurrection served as the main theme aside from the obvious one

revolution, is because it is applicable outside of this novels setting

(though Dickens made some very good points about mob-mentality). It is

also important to note that the theme of a second chance, and sacrifice

The phrase "recalled to life" sounds the first note in the theme of

resurrection with Dr. Manette's release from the Bastille after 18

years of solitary confinement, and sets Dickens' plot in motion. The

secret papers left in Manette's cell lead dir

the group. Dr. Manette triumphs over his past life and has a sort of

climax, Charles Darnay's sentence to die.

theme of resurrection appears earlier on with Carton's prophecy, where

he envisions a son to be born to Lucie and Darnay, a son who will bear

domination that has almost destroyed his father, Darnay's, life. So

when Carton decides to sacrifice himself by dying on the guillotine
