father disappeared.
Nobody knew what had happened to him. His unhappy wife died,
and their daughter was brought back to London. Dr. Manette was in
prison because he had a powerful enemy with the power to send
him to prison and to keep him there, hidden and forgotten, for 18
years.
3. "From a small box the old man took some golden hair."
Explain.
When Lucie put her arm around the old man and held him, he took

Lucie was his wife but she was too young.

Dr. Manette no longer looked like the man in the room above
Defarge's wine shop five years ago. His hair was white, but his eyes
were bright and became strong. Sometimes, his face became dark
and sad when he remembered the years in the Bastille prison, at
these times only his daughter could help him.
6. What did Defarge say to Gaspard when the child died?

He asked him to be brave because his child had died quickly, and
without pain and that was better to die like that than to go on living in
those terrible conditions.
7. Killing the Marquis is a kind of revenge. Explain.

The name of the Marquis's family was hated everywhere in France.

by the Marquis's coach forced the child's father to take revenge and

grave."

Lucie from the time of the Old Baily.

towards Lucie, Dr. Manette returned to his old prison work of
making shoes. Explain

greatest thing in his life. He thought that Darnay would come
between him and his daughter and they would be separated
because of Darnay.
10. The idea of sacrifice came to be clear when Carton told Lucie
about his love. Explain.
When Mr. Carton told Lucie about his love, he knew that she was in
love with Mr. Darnay, so he asked her not to tell anyone about what
he had said. And she should know that he could do anything for her
or for anyone close to her. He could give his life to keep someone
she loved alive and close to her.
11. How did Sydney Carton save Charles Darnay?

He saved by using his similarity to Charles Darnay.

golden coin towards the child‟s father.

asked Lucie not to talk to anyone about what he told her and
promised her to do anything for the sake of her or anyone who
belongs to her.
15. The Bastile is a place for injustice. Explain
Anyone who was against the Evermonde Family was sent to
Bastille without a trial. Dr.Manette was an example. He spent 18

Comment on the following Quotations:
1. “One hundred and five, North Tower.”

much of his life”.

for her father who had lost his memory and was treated with
