Reading Report of A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles．Dicken(1812～1870）,a famous English novelist, who only had a few years on the school.He become well-known writer, thanks to diligent self-study and hard work..He lived in the transitional period that from the semi-feudal society to industrial capitalist society of England.The background of the novel and the author's life has a close relationship between the times.In reality, Dickens himself had great concern to the French Revolution.His interest in the French Revolution began in England which is lurking in serious social crises at that time.The society of England in later the 19th century was remarkably like the France of later the 18th century.In the novel, with the broad real background of the French Revolution, it profoundly exposed the society contradiction between the poor and aristocrats.The poor suffered from overcrowding, hunger, repetitive labor and long hours of work.Poor peasants were exploited greatly by the aristocrats and they led a terrible life.On the contrary, the aristocrats shared luxurious material plundered from the poor.What’s more, the upper class bullied or even killed the poor without any mercy.So brave peasants rose up and fought against the aristocrats.From the novel , we can easily read about the author's thoughts.He intensely attacks the aristocratic social class which is dissolute and cruel, and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes.About the content, the novel is mainly about three parts: the unjust charge, love and revenge, which are independence but also incident cross-correlation stories together.Dickens portrayed many vivid characters.About positive characters, Dr.Alexandre Manette ,who's experience is taken as the main clue by the author,is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually.Lucie Manette, Doctor Manette's daughter, is beautiful and gentle.Charles Darney is graceful and noble.He is a descendant of French nobility, but dissatisfying with his family's acts of oppression of workers and giving up inheritance rights of property, then he lived in London as a French teacher.Sydney Carton is a talented but cynical British lawyer，who's dual character, one that is both selfless and sensitive, as well as self-pitying and inconsiderate, that makes him one of literature's most fascinating characters.At that time he had began to love Lucie but he did not pursue her for one year.He loved Lucie, but he‟s afraid himself can bring happiness to her.He once told Lucie that“ „If it had been possible, Miss Manette, that you could have returned the love of the man you see before yourself--flung away, wasted, drunken, poor creature of misuse as you know him to be—he would have been conscious this day and hour, in spite of his happiness, that he would bring you misery, bring you to sorrow and repentance , blight you, disgrace you, pull you down with him.I know very well that you can have no tenderness for me, I ask for none, I am even thankful that it cannot be.’” We are easily moved by his sprit: “For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything.If my career were of that better kind that there was any opportunity or capacity of sacrifice in it, I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you.” He just buried his love in his heart deeply.when Darnay was to be killed ,he carried out his promise.In the end of the story , Carton was carried to execution ground, but he was quiet, for his Lucie

and her husband Darnay, he believed he had a splendid life and was worth of loosing his life.Sydney Carton saved Darnay and carried out his promise.Although he was killed instead of Darnay, he wouldn‟t die in our heart.For me, in fact, Sydney Carton made the best and deepest impression on me.And I believe Such unselfish deed was just the one that every reader wanted to appreciate.On the other hand, about negative characters, in the novel, without any hesitation, Dickens exposed what the Evremonde brothers had done.In order to own a peasant woman, the Evremonde brothers forced four innocent peasants to death.While they just signed a piece of paper then they could send anyone to the prison until they let him out.How decaying they were!What‟s more, the earls regarded the poor as animals not human beings.And once when his carriage knocked down a poor child, the aristocrat only cared about his own horses but not the young poor child.When he knew the child was dead, instead of fearing guilt, “It is extraordinary to me,' said he, „that you people cannot take care of yourselves and your children.One or the other of you is forever in the way.How do I know what injury you have done my horses? See!Give him that.' He threw out a gold coin……”.These circumstances made me feel the aristocrats are not human beings at all.How cruel and sinister they are.The author used various kinds of writing techniques, such as flashback(the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities), narration interspersed with flashbacks, foreshadowing, foreshadowing and so on.It made the Structure become complete and tight and the plots become tense and dramatic.Its style is solemn and gloomy.It's full of worried and indignant.What's a pity, in my opinion, the whole novel is the lack of humor.That is a fly in the ointment.The author also use lots of rhetoric.For instance, Dickens began A Tale of Two Cities with this famous sentence: “It was the best of times, it was the worse of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness;it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness;it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, …”It is a typical example of parallel structures.Ten used in conjunction by the “it was...” constitutes a sentence to form a perfect parallel structure(which includes five sets of pairs of dual sentence).It described the spirit of the era in which this novel takes place and was easy to take the reader into the specific circumstances at the time of that era.In addition, there are many a good sentences.For example, at the end of the novel, When Carlton was in exchange for his loved Lucie 's happiness with his own lives that he calmly embarked on a guillotine, and said that: It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done;it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.I was really touched by his great spirit.Many people think that love is selfish, but Sydney Carton tell us there is the purest and loftiest love in the word, although it is hidden in the deep of the heart , it is profound;although it bear a lot of torture, it make his lover happy;although it is to devote selflessly, it is not waiting for payback.This kind of love has reached a new height, it is beautiful with a little cheerless, it must become classic love.Another example, “Sadly, sadly, the sun rose;it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away.”(Book 2, Chapter 5), it‟s a theory of Sydney's view of himself.In conclusion, reading between the lines, I began to understand the position of humanitarian was important in Dickens‟ novels.He had a firm and obvious distinguish between mercy and evil.In A Tale of Two Cities, he showed deep sympathy to the poor.On the other hand, he strongly condemned the feudal aristocrats‟ behaviors.In the novel, we can read his thoughts that no matter the person was rich or poor, if his behaviors agreed with morality, it should be praised.If not, then it should be criticized.More important is we can’t deny that some of Dickens’ views about humanitarian are still worth appreciating and leaning today.That is, we should agree that humanitarian is important to us.And only“love makes the world go round”.

My Commons on a Tale of Two Cities This term I read the novel a tale of teo cities according to our English teacher.Honestly, this is not only the first time I read this almost world-famous novel but also the first time I read an English book.I deeply believe that for me the inner true essence can only be found after a dozen of times reading,so I just have some uncomplicated commons on it.As we all know, Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities is based on the French Revolution in the late 1800s.it is one of Dickens's most important representative works.the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes In that terrible time, every moment was full of great fear.the common people, especially the peasants, were poor, hungry and unhappy.The king and the noble men maltreated the poor in many ways but they had never felt a little ashamed, on the contrary they thought they could do bad things in the nature of things.The novel sride 18 years.the author take the fictional character Doctor Nanette’s experience as the main clue, interweaves the unjust charge, love and revenge three independences but also incident cross-correlation stories together, and the clue is complex.18 years before, in 1757, because of knowing a terrible secret, Dr.Manette was picked up and sent to the Bastille---one of the most terrible prisons in the world, by the noble Marquis St.Evremonde.18 years after ,in 1775, His only daughter, Lucie Manette, fell in love with Charles Darnay, the nephew of the Marquis St.Evremonde, which abandoned the noble degree to live by himself.“Let the past be past.” Thought Dr.Marnette, and was preparing to have a happy new life with his daughter and her hus band.But the revolution of France broke, and because of his family, Charles Darnay was denounced---denounced by a letter which was wrote by Dr.Marnette himself 18 years ago!What a cruel strike!Isn’t it? Though he was innocent, poor Charles would have been sent to the guillotine.The story seems to be over, but There is another man we might refer to, that is Sydney Carton, the lawyer of England, the good friend of Manette’s families, who took after Charles very much.It was he, finally be killed instead by his own mind.Why? As you may ask, I want to ask the same question.That is because---I guess---love.And of course, the HOPE, yes, the HOPE.When Sydney was killed as Charles, there was much hope on his face.What was he thinking about as he went to his death? If we could have listened to his thoughts, we might have heard beautiful things:

in my view, Mr.Carton is the real hero.What kind of love will lead a person to save an irrelevant person's life with his own life, just because she loves this man, and if he died, she'll suffer from deep sorrow? How much has he sacrificed in order to earn the happiness of the one she loves? To some degree, he's helping his enemy.He has both the bright side and the dark side.He used to be Stryver's “jackal” who acts as the most humblest capacity.He used to be indifferent to troubles of others.When she appears, he gives his life to her.As an outstanding writer, in Dickens's work, the language skill is essential.Each kind of rhetoric technique, like the analogy, the exaggeration, the contrast, the humorous, and the taunt are handled skillfully and the artistry of the work is also delivered the peak.But as for me the most thing the novel imperessed me is this novel criticizes the violence and oppression in the society.The author expresses his opinion on two parts.First, he criticizes the aristocrats, esp.the representative Marquis of Evremonde.Second, he also criticizes the revolutionaries in the French Revolution.when we see from the description of the couple, the author does not think high of the revolution.When the revolutionaries begin their revenge, the author describes that everyone is terrible, the man is terrible, the woman crazy, and there is not a human creature at that time.We can see although the author does not show his agreement to the aristocrats’ cruelty, he does not like the bloody revolution, either.What is more, this novel advocates love and self-sacrifice.Dr.Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton, all desperate men leading catastrophic lives, make great sacrifices in order to attain true physical, spiritual, and societal resurrection for themselves and the ones they love.Overall, Charles Dickens is a humanitarian.And according to the analysis of the characters in A Tales of Two Cities, we can see that the author advocates the universal love and equality between human beings.And this is the basic element in a peaceful and harmonious society.Everyone should love people and only the humanitarianism can improve this situation.And A Tale of Two Cities is the best work, which embodies his humanitarianism.So that we can see that Charles Dickens is an outstanding humanitarian of the capitalistic reformism in the 19th century.That's my understanding of a part of this book.And I'll read it again to catch more.

My Opinions About A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles Dickens, who was born in Portsmouth, England in 1812.As the second of eight children, Dickens had to go to work at the age of twelve to support his poor family, and he lived a difficult childhood.This troublesome time scarred him deeply and provided him with substantial material for such stories as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations.Though just accepted only little education, Dickens became a famous writer through his struggling self-learning and extremely hard work, and he was the representative writer of realism in the 19th century.Charles Dickens lived in the period of transition between feudalism and capitalism, when the industrial revolution originated in England swept through Europe.As large numbers of workers invaded into urban centers to earn a living, the bourgeois took advantages of the surplus of labor by keeping wages low.The poor thus remained poor, and often lived in a narrow and filthy environment.Dickens’ writing depicted various directions about this society, and provided a keen, sympathetic chronicle of the plight of the urban poor.A Tale of Two Cities mainly about the great atrocities of French aristocrats compelled the poor citizens to resist violently.Doctor Manette spent eighteen years as a prisoner in Bastille because he intended to expose the atrocity after learning that

Marquis Evrémonde killed a beautiful farmwife and her younger brother because of his brother’s lust.After Doctor Manette was free again, his daughter Lucie got married with Charles Darnay, Marquis Evrémonde’s nephew, but chose to live in England because he could not accept the cruel injustices of the French social system and the snobbish and cruel values of his uncle.However, Marquis Evrémonde continued his atrocities.After his crazy carriage crushed over a farmer’s little baby as if nothing happen, he was killed at night.A revolutionary storm was brewing.Mr.and Mrs.Defarge were the revolutionaries in the poor Saint Antoine section of Paris.They wanted to kill all French aristocrats, including Charles Darnay.Mr.Defarge used to be Doctor Manette’s servant, so he was kind to Manettes, while his wife’s heart burned with longing for revenge.At last, Charles Darnay was judged to death, But Sydney Carton, a lawyer who loved Lucie deeply, willing to die instead of Darnay, as they had similar appearance.From my personal point of view, the person A Tale of Two Cities described astounded me very much.Some of them were cruel, crazy and reasonless, while some of them were kind, moral and had own mind.Sydney Carton was the person I thought the most.He was a smart attorney, without his help, Mr.Stryver could not solve any cases.But he was lazy, alcoholic, and cared nothing and nobody, he even could not find any interests in his own life, it seems that he lived just for wasting life.But he loved Lucie deeply.Finally, he

became a hero, because he sacrificed his life to save Darnay.I didn’t know why the author spent so many words to form such a strange guy at frist, he used his life to love Lucie, after all.But now, I caught it.Perhaps the terrible Carton symbolized the terrible old France, and his change in the end shown that everything could change, including the old France, a new and fine society would replace the violence.Then, Charles Darnay.He was worthy of esteem or respect.He displayed great virtue in his rejection of his uncle, Marquis Evrémonde.Money and power meant nothing to him, if they came from exploitation and oppression.Even though he had to inherit his uncle’s bequest, he left them to the poor and lived in London throught his own effort.When he realized that he must go back to Paris to help Gabelle, one of his servants, and make right the wrong his uncle had done, he acted without hesitation because he knew that was his duty.He even refused Carton’s help after he was judged to death.I thought, Charles Darnay was a shiny diamond in that cruel and violent society, and he was a hope, the hope of equality and peace.Third, Mrs.Defarge.How crazy this woman was.Nobody could stop her steps toward revenge, except the death.Although it said that wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, I didn’t agree with Mrs.Defarge totally.Her resistance was inhumane, insensible and endless.For just as the aristocracy’s oppression had made an oppressor Mrs.Defarge herself, so will her oppression, in turn, make oppressors her victims.In the end of the novel, her death by a bullet from her own gun.It shown the

author’s belief that inordinate retaliated lust would destroy one own self.On the whole, A Tale of Two Cities is a successful novel.It shows us oppression and resistance, violence and terror, revolution and vengeance, love and friendship.I am lucky enough to live in the 21st century, when peace and development are pursued all along.Nowadays, there also are many problems and dissensions among this world, but violence does not the best way problems are solved.Violence just creates more problems, something every sensible person knows.What we need are talks and communication.The time A Tale of Two Cities mentions has gone, we should do enough preparation to adapt the coming age.篇二：双城记英文读后感

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way

Charles Dickens（1812～1870），one of the greatest novelist in England.I have read his A tale of two cities.And this is the beginning of the book.“A Tale of Two Cities”, one of Dickens’ works, is a well-known long story.And it has a great influence on the society at that time.When I saw the title at first, I thought it might tell something about the developing process of two cities, which might be no fun.However, after reading it , I found I had been wrong.It portrays a brutal, bloody and revengeful society as well as love and friendship.It happened before and after the Revolution in France.The ruthless and cruel landowners and noblemen exploited the miserable people who owned nothing, but these poor people worked for others day and night.Noblemen had the power that one word would doubtlessly send others to prison.As time passed by, the noise of the coming-up revolution storm in Paris was growing louder and louder.At last, it was on the fourteenth of July, 1789 that the revolution broke out.“The Bastille and its officers were in the hands of people, and the people wanted revenge and blood.” The true Freedom of France came.“The Guillotine, the new machine of death, cut off the heads of many, many people—not only the powerful and the cruel, but also the beautiful, the innocent, and the good.” Among the good, there was a man called Darney.Even though his father, wife and friends knew he was innocent, the people thought he was the enemy and would go to the Guillotine.In spite of a shadow of fear and hate here and there, we can also see the great and kind persons.I think the greatest person is Mr.Manette who had been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years.What he suffered was difficult to imagine, but he was still kind and loved his daughter.He did his best to save his son-in-law, whose father and uncle were the men that had ever sent him to prison.Another great man is the lawyer, Sydney Carton, a friend of Darney.Before Darney went to Guillotine, Mr.Carton changed places with him and he said, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done;it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever know.” Besides, the story is full of love, including the love between father and daughter, the love between husband and wife, the love among friends and so on.In short, only if you have love in your heart, the life is meaningful.At the same time, the revenge will run away with you, freedom and happiness will be around you.There is no doubt that Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers

in English.From this book, I see some true lives and moving stories from the old ages.I think you must feel the same as me that we don’t want to live in that condition.To be frank, we all look forward to living in a peaceful and love situation.Though the present life has improved a lot, there are still wars in some places.All that we need is to solve the problems in peaceful ways instead of by force.So let’s work hard together in order to make our life much more meaningful and happier, make our society more harmonious.篇四：A TALE OF TWO CITIES双城记 读后感哦
