        <description><![CDATA[In A Tale of Two Cities, Jerry's instructions in Chapter 2 were very simply to act as a messenger for Mr. Lorry. Jerry was to go to the Bailey, the court house, and gain entrance through a guarded door. He was to hand a note to a doorkeeper who would then deliver the note to Mr. Lorry, who would be in the courtroom during the Charles Darnay treason proceedings. Jerry was to make a small commotion so that Mr. Lorry, having received the note...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In A Tale of Two Cities, Book II, Chapters 17 and 24, two very different tones prevail in the depictions of London and of Paris. Chapter 17 opens with a calm and tranquil reference to the risen moon over London, while Chapter 24 opens with rising fire and shaking earth in relation to Paris. London is quite and warm. People, even once imprisoned people, lie in peaceful sleep in happy determination for goodness in their present lives. They...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We first meet Madame Therese Defarge the wife of the wine shop owner Ernest Defarge in Ch.5 of the First Book of "A Tale of Two Cities." Dickens describes her commanding presence in the following manner:

Madame Defarge, his wife, sat in the shop behind the counter as he came in. Madame Defarge was a stout woman of about his own age, with a watchful eye that seldom seemed to look at anything, a large hand heavily ringed, a steady face, strong...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Like the Tellson's Bank for which he works, Mr. Lorry is old and institutionalized.  He has spent his bachelor life growing old in Tellson's and his greatest virtue is his work ethic.  Dickens portrays Mr. Lorry as representative of the middle class of England. 
When Mr. Lorry accompanies the daughter of his former client, Dr. Manette, to the inn before they travel to Paris, he speaks as a businessman to Lucie Manette in an effort to calm...]]></description>

Charles Darnay is a decendant of the Evremondes, an aristocratic family in France notorious for their oppression of the common man.  Before he had been imprisoned, Dr. Manette had had dealings with the Evremondes, and had witnessed their unscrupulousness firsthand.  While in prison, the good doctor had written a letter, telling about...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As Charles Dickens describes the old Tellson's Bank, he likens it in many ways to the prison of London, Newgate. For, the young men who enter Tellson's door "of idiotic obstinacy" (like England's judicial system) leave Tellson's old men. Dickens also mentions the proximity of Temple Bar, the famous gateway for the city.  As Dickens critiques the moral poverty of lat 18th century London, Dickens writes that

putting to Death was a recipe...]]></description>
