It was a long and tiring day. Imagery- “He was a strongly made man with dark curling hair , from forty-five to fifty years of age.” (275) This is a characterization for Defarge and showing his appearance to Mr. Lorry. Antithesis- “It was a passionate, loving, thankful, womanly action, but the hand made no response- dropped cold and heavy and took to its knitting again.” (277) Lucie was being grateful for Madame Defarge and thanking her yet Defarge wanted nothing to do with it and did not acknowledge her gratefulness.
