  2. Summary • After the verdict is read, Lucie begs to embrace her husband one last time before he gets sent back to his cell. • She tells him their separationwill break her heart and that she will pass soon, but that God will raise their daughter up as He did her. • Dr. Manette begins to fall to his knees, and Darnaytakes hold of him. • Charles is then taken away and Lucie looks at him happily. • She tries to speak to Manette but instead falls at his feet. • Carton then approaches and picks her up. He takes her to a coach and places her down. • Carton leaves the room and sees Dr. Manette and Mr. Lorry entering.

  3. Summary Cont.’d • Dr. Manette says that he is going to see the prosecutor and the president of the Tribunal, and that he should be back immediately after dark. • Carton tells him he will go to Mr. Lorry's at nine to hear what Dr. Manette has been able to accomplish. • Mr. Lorry follows then Carton to the door and reveals to him that he has no hope. Carton agrees that there is no real hope.

  4. Literary Devices • Anaphora- Repition of a work or phrase at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, or line. “We know now, what a struggle you made of old. We know now, what you underwent when you suspected by descent. We know now, the natural antipathy you strove against, and conquered, for her dear sake.” pg. 339 • Similie- The use of “like” or “as” to compare two things. “The wretched wife … fell under the sentence, as if she had been mortally stricken.” pg. 338 • Foreshadowing-present an indication before hand “ ‘But he will perish, there is no real hope.’ ‘Yes, he will perish: there is no real hope.’ And walked with a settled step down-stairs.” pg. 342

  5. Essential Quote • “ You had great influence but yesterday, Dr. Manette; let it at least be tried. These judges, and all the men in power, are very friendly to you, and very recognisant of your services, are they not?” This was when Carton was asking Dr. Manette this, to try to sway the judges decision to let Darnay off the hook rather than execute him the following morning.
