Tale of Two Cities

A detailed Summary of Tale of Two Cities

Jarvis Lorry, an employee of Tellson's Bank, was sent to find Dr. Manette, an unjustly imprisoned doctor, in Paris and bring him back to England. Lucie, Manette's daughter who thought that he was dead, accompanied Mr. Lorry. When arriving at Defarge's wine shop in Paris, they found Mr. Manette in a dreadful state and took him back to London with them. Mr. Manette could not remember when or why he had been imprisoned. He was in a state of post traumatic stress. All the years of imprisonment led to his insanity. In 1780, Lucie, Mr. Lorry and Dr. Manette were called to testify against Charles Darnay, a tutor who made constant trips between France and England and was accused of treason. During these times both governments were very paranoid about anybody who had the appearan

ce of committing treason. Darney, since he traveled back and forth between countries was a perfect suspect for treason. The French Government had just been overthrown by the beggars and middle class and now run by them, the British on the other hand was still a monarchy and had awful factories and many slums, like France did. Darnay was acquitted when a lawyer Carton, looked much like him and an eye witness failed to positively distinguish between them. Carton loved Lucie but he was a drunkard. Knowing that their relationship was hopeless, he stated that he would sacrifice himself for her or anyone she loved in an emotional conversation. Darnay ended up marrying Lucie. Darnay's uncle, the Marquis St. Evremonde, was assassinated by the father of a child he ran over and Darnay inherited his Chateau.
