People who are in love have something in common, aside from the obvious; the natural instinct of protecting their loved ones from harm. Miss Pross, Lucie Manette's governess, has brought Lucie up and looked after as if she was her own daughter. Miss Pross basically has a maternal love for Lucie. Miss Pross became very defensive when Madame Defarge, a radical of the French Revolution, came looking for Lucie and her family.

Revenge for her dead family could only be accomplished by attacking the kin of the Evremonde family; therefore, she could only blame Doctor Manette, Charles Darnay, Lucie, and their daughter. Her love motivated her to bring Darnay to trial for death, in which he was found guilty, and then go to kill the others. Madame Defarge was so determined to revenge the evil of Darnay's father and uncle: "it was nothing to her, that an innocent man was to die for the sins of his forefathers; she saw, not him, but them" (354).
