A Tale of Two Cities-Charles Dickens


In the book so far the character Ms. Manette and Charles Darnay just got married and her father is suffering because him and his daughter had a close relationship and now she has gotten married. He goes back to acting the way he did before he met his daughter making shoes and not responding when people try to talk to him.
The French revolution began in 1789. The government declared war on Britain and continued for 22 years.
A research question that I have is how did the French revolution influence Britain's politics and culture?

  1. My research question is similar, but I want to know more on the social hiearchy.

  2. Priscilla,
    You may want to look into Dickens' life and what was happening in England at the time of this book's publication. Compare the labor revolts in England to the disputes being mirrored in the text. What was Dickens suggesting?
