Miss Pross was sacrificing her life day by day for Lucie to have a better life. Miss Pross devotes her life and her well being to Lucie, which is shown when Mr. Lorry describes Miss Pross's devotion, "there is nothing better in the world than the faithful service of the heart; so rendered and so free from any mercenary taint" (87). Miss Pross sacrifices things everyday by simply being devoted to Lucie. She did everything she could so that Lucie could have the best possible life. Miss Pross sacrifices her hopes and dreams so that Lucie might have her own hopes and dreams fulfilled. Miss Pross did not have all the beauty and fortune in the world, but she lived so that Lucie might have those someday. Miss Pross's devotion is demonstrated once again when she is described as:

One of those unselfish creatures found only among women who

will for pure love and admiration, bind themselves willing

hen they have lost it, to beauty that they never

Ultimately, it was the sacrifices made by people like Ms. Pross and Sydney Carton that allowed people to live. Through their numerous sacrifices, the value of life is measured in A Tale of Two Cities, and their sacrifices give life to a time that was filled with much more death. Just as Jesus' sacrifice allowed people to have life, the sacrifices of Ms. Pross, Dr. Manette and Sydney Carton, allowed Lucie and her loved ones to have life as well.

had, to accomplishments that they were never fortunate enough

As well as Miss Pross, Dr. Manette also sacrifices much of his life by giving up his own personal goals and agenda for Lucie. Dr. Manette says, "any fancies, any reasons, and apprehensions, anything whatsoever, new or old against the man she really loved [...] they shall all be obliterated for her sake"(125). Dr. Manette was willing to relinquish his own personal feelings so that Lucie may be happy. He set aside anything in order for Lucie to marry the man she loves. Dr. Manette did anything he could to save Darnay from death, even to the point where Madame Defarge mocks him saying, "save him now, my Doctor save him"(138). Dr. Manette had always been suspicious about Darnay, but he put aside his doubts in to make Lucie happy
