　　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.

　　The report of the A Tale of Two Cities.

　　Recently, I read a tale of two cities. I think that it’s a good novel.

　　First, I want to introduce the author of this book .His name is Charles Dickens, he is an outstanding writer. He is one of the greatest writers in the 19 century. However, he had a painful childhood. He was arrested when he was 10 years old due to household debt. He had only a few years of learning. So, in his early years, his works are more about the painful children. He criticized the black of capitalism and had the sympathy for the poor. Now, let me introduce this novel. The background of this book is the French revolution. Before the revolution, the young doctor .Manette witnessed the guilty of the French marquis. So he was arrested in the Bastille by the marquis. After two years, his wife died. His daughter Lucie was send to London by his friends Lorry and adopted by the Miss Pross who is a maidservant. After 18 years, he was released from the Bastille and was taken care by his old servant Defarge. His daughter wanted to take his father to London. In the travel, she met the son of the marquis Charles Darnay who hated the guilty of his father and uncle. Then they loved each other. And now, Charles Dannay’s father had died, so manette wanted to forget the painful memory and hoped his daughter happy. So he agreed with them. In 1789, France break the revolution. All of the marquises was send to the guillotine. Because the Darnay was a marquis. So the Defarge read the report which was written by the doctor. Then Dannay was sentenced to death. Now Carton who always hidden loved Lucie went to the prison and he pretended Dannay. So Dannay escaped the prison. And carton was killed. However Madame Defarge still not gave up. She wanted to killed Dannay’s wife Lucie and their young child; finally she was burned by the pross.

　　After read this novel, let me know about the French revolution. I think the people who lived in that period were not lucky. The poor were very sad. They were too blindness. And I was moved the carton, he died for his love, and I like him very much.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇3

　　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.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇5

　　This holiday, I used my spare time to read dickenss "a tale of two cities", also have some understanding, I will write down my feelings.

　　1. Plot arrangement.

　　The plot of this book is very mysterious, and the author concatenates all kinds of clues, as mentioned in the article, "weaving" becomes the novel. The greatest feature of the novel is the complexity of the characters, such as the relationship between Dr Manette and danan; The relationship between Mrs D urberge and dannan - the two relations directly led to the final tragedy. And the relationship between Mr. Lorry and Mr. DE hair, and the relationship between the pass and the spy, and so on. These complex figures link the work of this book.

　　One of the most distinctive chapters of the book is a conversation with a little girl before his death, which thoroughly reveals that the revolutionary masses are too crazy and that the good will live on for ever.

　　2. Characters.

　　The most important character in the book is Charles daran (evmond). He was a very conflicted man, and he hated his father and uncle very much, but he had to support the whole family business. So when the old servant wrote to him, he had to return to France. He was a kind man, possessed of the civility of a nobleman, and when he met his uncle, he made it clear that he could not persecute the people. At the same time, he gave up the privileges of the nobility, which was a good deed.

　　Sydney Carton was also an important figure. I have never liked this casual, lazy character in the first half of the novel. But in the process of reading later, I found him to be an aggressive and resourceful person. Although it is "friend", but actually caton and south relationship is not so good, but for the sake of the family happiness drops of life, caton willing to the guillotine, let fled south, and the embodiment of the eternal good. In the article, carton died "like a prophet".

　　Mr And Mrs D arge also belong to the books focus. He was a good man, and he took Dr Manette, and told his wife after the revolution that he would accept it. She was an avenger, and she had been persecuted by the evremonde brothers, so she wanted to kill all the French aristocrats. Of course, because of her violent behaviour, she died in the hands of miss pross.

　　3. Writing features.

　　This novel is very humorous, and the author has been using dialectical relations and repeated techniques to achieve this effect. Therefore, this touching novel can still be read with great laughter.

　　One of the features of the article is that the last author "helps carton express his feelings". The author used catons language to show the end of the article, telling people that "kindness is forever in the world".

　　Thats how I read the novel.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇6

　　A tale of two cities is one of dickenss most important masterpieces. Long before writing a tale of two cities, dickens is very concern on the French revolution, reread the British historian, Carlyles "French revolution" and other scholars about the work. His keen interest in the French revolution began with fears of a serious social crisis lurking in Britain at the time. At the end of 1854, he said: "I believe that dissatisfaction like smoke fire up worse than, this special like the public before the French revolution for the first time, its danger, for one thousand kinds of reasons, such as poor harvest, the nobility of bossy and incompetent the already tense situation last to defeat in war, overseas and domestic events and so on -- into that have never seen a terrible fire." It can be seen that the motive for the creation of a tale of two cities is to use the historical experience of the French revolution as a reference to the British ruling class. At the same time, through the extreme portrayal of the revolutionary terrorist, also to harbor resentment, attempting to violence against the tyranny of the masses, warned that fantasy for the status quo of social contradictions increasingly deepen to find a way out.

　　Starting from this purpose, the novel profoundly revealed before the French revolution deeply intensified the social contradictions, strongly criticized aristocracy dissolute brutal, and deep sympathy for the lower peoples suffering. The work pointed out that there is a limit to the endurance of the people. Under the brutal rule of the aristocracy, the people were forced to rise up against their livelihood. Such resistance is justified. The novel also depicts the spectacular scenes of the people attacking the bastille and displaying the great power of the people. However, the author stands in the position of bourgeois humanitarianism, namely, against the tyranny of the cruel oppression of the people, and against the violence of the revolutionary people against the tyranny. In dickenss book, the whole revolution was described as a catastrophe of destruction, a merciless punishment for the evil aristocracy, and the blind murder of innocent people.

　　The novel shapes three kinds of characters. A kind of feudal aristocracy, represented by the marquis brothers of erfrimont, whose "only unshakable philosophy is oppressing people", is the object of the authors pain and flagellation. Another group is the revolutionary masses, such as the stone couple. It must be noted that their image is distorted. Such as cutting stone wife, Diana, she was born in peasant, insulted, persecution of the feudal nobles with great hatred, the author deeply sympathize with her misery, really appreciated her strong personality, before and after the revolution, excellent talents and extraordinary leadership ability; But when the revolution went deeper, it turned her into a cruel, fierce, narrow-minded Nemesis. Especially when she went to the doctors house to hunt for lucie and lucie, she was more of a bloodthirsty maniac. In the end, the author let her die under her gun, clearly expressing a negative attitude. The third category is idealized characters, which are the authors example of humanitarian solutions to social conflicts and the triumph of love over hate, including the menet, darnay, laurel and calden. Doctor menet was killed by the marquis brothers, and he had a deep hatred for the marquis. But for the love of his daughter, he could abandon the old hatred. Darnay was the nephew of the marquis, who was greatly aware of the guilt of his family, and of abandoning the title and property, and was determined to make atonement with his own actions. This is a reflection of the characters, a victim of the tyranny of the aristocracy, tolerance; One was the heir to the noble marquis, who advocated benevolence. Among them was lucie, the daughter and wife. Under the bonds of love, they form a happy family of mutual understanding and affection. This is clearly the way the author envisages a solution to the social conflict, contrary to the violent revolution, which is not practical.

　　The tale of a tale of two cities is different from the general historical novel, its characters and main plot are fictional. During the French revolution broad real background, the author clues to give priority to with fictional characters meini, doctors experience, the unjust charge three independent each other, love and revenge and interconnected stories interweave together, intricate plot, intricate plot. The author adopts the technique of flashback, narration, foreshadowing and foreshadowing, so that the structure of the novel is complete and tight, the plot twists and turns intense and dramatic, and shows excellent artistic skills. The tale of a tale of two cities is solemn, melancholy and full of sorrow, but lacks the humor of early works.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇7

　　"This is the best of times and the worst of times." The first sentence of a tale of two cities is quoted numerous times. But I guess the man who knows this sentence and the novel "tale of two cities" tells a story, and does not know why. If you want to understand the original meaning of this sentence, and why you write this classic sentence, it is natural to read the original.

　　"In short, that era is so similar to todays." This sentence actually explains the two questions of the above classic sentence: why do you say that, and to whom? This is one of the reasons why the novel was born, dickens hope that through such a novel, by describing the French revolution brought disaster to the people to express their own worry, warn the dangerous situation at the same time. A revolutionary history, two cities representing two countries, a few wind and rain people, constitute the main elements of the novel.

　　Although the tale of a tale of two cities is a classic novel, it is considered to be the authors view of history because it explicitly states that the revolutionary background is the French revolution. And that is the focus of countless controversies over the novel. In the novel, dickens showed the cruelty of the aristocracy, but also showed the irrational destruction of the revolutionary masses. The revolution, he argued, was a kind of oppression that replaced another kind of oppression, and a bloodbath that was a direct and heavy one instead of another. A series of depictions of the storming of the bastille and of the mob - bloody, brutal, cunning, malevolent - is the most striking aspect of the novel.

　　Dickens has devoted a great deal of ink to the evil of the mob, showing his abhorrence of the mob and, in a certain degree, the hatred of the revolution. Of course, as a humanist, dickens also points out the cure for the world: love. This kind of love, embodied in the novel includes family love, love, friendship and such private feelings, also includes the abandonment of the aristocracy, the salvation of the kind of fraternity. Among them, the most brilliant is the description of cartons love.

　　I like carton very much. In fact, carton was the embodiment of dickens, and dickens was the first to think of the man and the spirit of his body to conceive the novel. So, what was carton like? The novel describes: "the sun is sad and mournful, and the rising of sorrow, the sight unseen, is nothing worse than this man. He is talented and emotional, but he has no opportunity to show his talent. He cant do anything, and he cant make his own happiness. He knew his problem, but he resigned himself to his fate, and he wasted all his time, year after year.

　　It is a young man who has lost his talent and youth. The novel does not appear to have been explained, since he has appeared in the first place, and has not written much about his family background. Personally, this man represents dickens himself, so he does not need to describe too much - the fall of carton comes from his frustration with the deteriorating society. He went up to the guillotine and said, "I see the evil of this age, and the evil of the former times, which has caused this evil, and I have gradually died for my SINS."

　　Pessimists - caton, was rejected by his friends meet with difficulties, in the love of a womans husband is about to be guillotined in when he suddenly appeared, be dont save the situation, do price with his own life, in the Nick of time to make a replace plan to rescue his beloved womans husband.

　　It is not the love of Christ, who has redeemed his sin and died. In fact, in the novel, carton did indeed say, in the biblical tone, "the resurrection is in me, the life is in me, and the man who believes in me, though dead, will rise again. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. This is the medicine that dickens prescribed for "the worst of times", but it is, after all, an ideal. It is said that the tale of a tale of two cities is an immortal work without Sidney. The existence and behavior of carton, the novel loses its value and brilliance.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇8

　　I wrote this after reading this literature, it was so wonderful that I could not restrain my excitement. In particular, when reading the last two or three chapters, the hazy, misty plots slowly seem to have been cleared by the light of the first sunlight and the fog of the fog. No wonder the author, Charles Dickens, said that he was "deeply moved and excited" by the novel and longed to play Sidney carton on the stage himself. Sidney, in my opinion, caton is indeed a can let a person "deeply moved, very excited, though, I began to he didnt play very interested, just a wild gentleman; The scene of the last brother and sister heading off to the guillotine really made me cry. In particular, the final message, which includes the ending of the novel, reveals the character of Sidney carton and the goodness of human nature. "What Ive done is the best and the best thing Ive ever done. What I am about to receive will be the most peaceful and peaceful rest of my life. Its really a tear-jerker.

　　First, a little personal opinion about the characters.

　　The first one is jarvis lorry. From the back, he was a dedicated banker who was extremely loyal to the bank and to his friend Alexander manette. He has been at the bank for at least a few decades, and from the authors witty description of "the various dark cabinets in tellsons bank, some elderly old men are working hard. When tellsons, hired a young man in London, they always hide he has been in the old, like a piece of cheese hid him in a dark corner, until he was with complete sets of tellson flavour, full of stains or mold." And you can see that. All that matters to him is the care and help of his old friends. I remember writing in the article that he could put aside his work for an old friend. And the morbidity of her father after lucies marriage made Mr. Lorry very uneasy: "Mr. Lorrys life was as good as ever, and his hopes grew dim, and his mood increased." "And Mr. Lorry, exhausted by his anxious day and night, fell asleep on duty." "But then he suddenly began to suspect that he was still dreaming." It was to the extent of exhaustion that he could see how deep his friendship was with his friends. And, finally, if it were not for lowry, for they are prepared to travel relatively comfortable through the acceptance, with light behind a terrified woman, a man who fainted, a small child, a delirious elderly, again how also escape not escape from the so-called "people" clutches.

　　One more figure is Lucy. Her own appearance has already determined that she is a compassionate and weak and strong woman. For her father, who had been imprisoned for eighteen years, she helped him through difficult times with her love. First back to her father to help him out of the bondage of the body, for the father of the deep into his mind is not on a regular basis the suffering of the memory, only she can the fastest, the most gentle comfort living fathers uncertain heart, this is a helpless old friends lowry. There is to testify in court, she fairly with affection, "in the face of such compassion, so moving youth and beauty, at this time the mood of the defendant, than face all the people watching more uncomfortable." And so on, and so forth; When she finally kissed her husband, she stuck to it, as strong as anyone who faced tragedy. She was still a bit of a backer, but she was the embodiment of love.

　　She said that her father had to be mentioned. Alexander manettes life is worth considering, how much injustice, how much experience, how much trauma, all make us think. After being cared for by his daughter, he was equally able to give back to his daughter. He finally showed the story of a father who cared about his daughter with love. Likewise, I think he has his great misfortune. It, life is very rough, and eventually to really bring happiness for the daughter, relapse, full house for his work, is at this time, he felt old and helpless. One tragedy leads to another.

　　For darnay, the man, in general, pursued his mothers philosophy and "set off a series of events" (which is not a repudiation of him). He was also a kind man, and because of this he went back to his family and he was in trouble. This is also the result of a complex set of causes.

　　One of the most legendary and tearful is Sidney carton. The appearance of "always looking at the ceiling" shows his dissolute, and later we find out that he is really an annihilated talent, who is unable to dissolve into the society at that time. Inner feelings also very noble, is ultimately fulfilled the rival in love (lets just say so, but they havent think they really like the story of the relationship between the bucket over, well, here also see his calm, may be installed? If it is, it means he has a lot of talent. Thats an admirable person. He didnt care what he did when he escaped, but he was the only one who knew what to do and what not to do. The death of darnay and his wife, in memory of his death is a matter of god! Finally he met in his sisters, on the execution ground, comfort, encouragement, his sister, is a look at all the detachment of life, the novel also wrote "that night, the city of Paris about him, say on the calendar year, Laura pavilion the most calm. Many also say that he has a holy face, like a prophets prophet. The character of the book is very exciting, such as in going to jail for up to jailbreak before and after Mr Lowry confessed, "caton into the yard, there alone for a moment, looked up at her house lights. He blessed him softly and said, goodbye forever, and vanished into the darkness. While I was reading this, I was vaguely aware that something was wrong, but I could not think of anything that would change because of the fact that he had told him to wait for him. This sentence is a little sad, want to make a person cry but not let a person cry out of taste. This is the description of cartons heart, beneath the surface of the light, the heart of a man who is devoted to the love of others.

　　The villain, especially madame Defarge, can be said to be an old man of revenge under the guise of the people. Her most common movement was knitting, without saying a word, but everything was in her heart, and she remembered it on her knitting. People like this have a feeling of fear of her, a cold, unhuman embodiment. The Jacques three around them, the vengeful woman, and so on, were all in a state of confusion, only to feel the pleasure of cutting off the heads of others. They did not, at all, have the same kind of consciousness as madame DE senor, but the desecration of life, from their messy appearance and corrupt manners. He wanted to overthrow the king, but there was a certain amount of affection for the old master he had served before. His wife said to her, her husband, "honest want to save the doctor a" visible, hair, still can hardly is neutral, but it forced him to host a begin, he is living in the contradiction, may be affected by his revenge heart strong wife.

　　Suspense, the novel is full, it is the more see more understand, like a stream seriatim together, finally became a great river pentium, make a person more see more exciting, more want to see. For example, the most prominent is the second chapter 6 "hundreds of people" and chapter 7, "marquis master in the city" has nothing to do, if the chapter 7, alone can also be a novel. Until later see that he is to reach in life, then saw Lucy, then saw his relationship to the old physician, and finally with the doctors letter, complex relationships take in everything in a glance, to expound characters relations, has a good supporting role. Undoubtedly, the last two chapters are the climax, the most exciting part. The last brother and sister were more than I had imagined, and the authors arrangement clearly highlighted carton, who was a symbol of justice. Now, calm down and think about why all the siblings are locked inside. I think the most fundamental reason is that this revolution in the authors eye itself is chaotic, there is no human rights, crazy people just follow their own will, that ultimately leads to tragedy.

　　After all, this work is a good and evil confrontation, the victory of good, an exciting end. Let us ponder whether the revenge is worth doing, but the revenge of madame DE sendai is not made in a day, in response to the dead brother, sister, and father; It is the brand of class struggle that inevitably forms the concept of revenge and makes her cold character. At the end of the day, there is a certain responsibility for all aspects, and the social environment is an inseparable factor.

　　Generally speaking, this is a very good novel.

　　"A tale of two cities" is hailed as the most outstanding representative of the French revolution, and I think the biggest reason may be because it is different. Unlike other works, such as Carlisles "the French revolution", dickens was more concerned with the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom. In those days, though, the little figures themselves did not draw the worlds attention. But the authors keen capture of these little figures and the great revolution is inextricably linked, and arguably the French revolution itself was inspired by the power of the little people.

　　The French revolution was a mark of blood in human history. In that chaotic era, full of uncertainty; In such a state of disorder, all human nature is revealed. A tale of two cities by the French revolution as the background, through to race hatred between civilians and conflict, the author want to convey the dickens -- - unable to wash away hatred, blood cannot replace love -- - more aristocratic tyranny to civilians caused pain will not heal, because blood civilians to hatred cannot replace love for lost relatives. In the story, Dr Menet was freed from prison to live with his daughter in London.

　　Five years later, they testified in court for the French youth, Charles Darnay, who married darnay in love. In 1792, the French revolution broke out and the scene moved to France. Darnay, who had been arrested and sentenced to death for being a descendant of the aristocracy, had been in love with Lucys English youth, Sidney, at the critical moment. Carton took the guillotine for him. Carden is one of the most attractive and complex characters in the book. Decadent, negative, at school, he only writes homework for classmates; After society, even with all the talent, it still chose to work for another lawyer. But beneath his cold exterior, there was a deep tenderness.

　　With this a welcome tenderness and love for Lucy, cardan made a significant decision - - instead of the guillotine dyer that -- - with his own life in exchange for another persons life, in return for a familys happiness and smile. It was the act of carden guarding Lucy, sacrificing for love, how noble it was in that great age, even in modern times! Compared with the tenderness and love of the representative, Mrs. Dofstone was a symbol of bloodshed and bloodshed. The death of a loved one in the hands of darnays father and uncle, she lived for a lifetime of hatred; For the death of darnays family, he had no need of it, and at last he was killed by a fire. The bloodlust of Mrs. Dauphin was a terrible shock, but it also made people sigh the power of hate, and make the woman who should be happy and happy to be the Nemesis. At the end of the eighteenth century, France was burned into asurra hell by this perverse and vengeful flame. Lessons and meanings cannot be forgotten by the years. If we cant get something out of it, the same tragedy will happen again. Two hundred years later, we hope that we can create a new century of true equality, freedom and fraternity in this generation.

　　Today, I finally read the book of two cities by the British writer Charles Dickens. After reading this book, I was in a long mood.

　　Novels in the 18th century French revolution as the background, the story will be in Paris, London, link up the two big cities, a narrative horse nate doctor is full of love and adventure, interspersed with the nobles cruelty, peoples anger, trial spy... It mainly reveals the social order of the British and French in that period, and the life of the nobles and the ordinary people.

　　The book focuses on the fact that poor Dr Manette, who had been imprisoned in the bastille for 19 years by the aristocracy, had his daughter taken to live in England. In court, the father and daughter met the French nobleman darley and the poor master carton. Later, manettes daughter Lucy and darley married, and after ten years of happy family life, caton also gave Lucy a promise to make Lucy happy.

　　The people living in poor and helpless, cold and hunger, the plight of poor sickness repeatedly, suffered oppression, their hearts a backlog of deep and deep hatred of nobility, finally triggered the French revolution to overthrow the regime, for freedom. After the outbreak of the French revolution, darley went to France to defend his innocent servant, but he was arrested for being a French aristocrat. And carton, in order to make the promise of lucies life happy, used him to be similar to darley, and, before he was sentenced to death, he replaced him with Dudley, and replaced him with the guillotine.

　　The dark ages have passed, the days of hope and light have come, and the darkness is terrible! At first, the world belongs to the king, and later, the world belongs to the people. On July 13, 1789, the people stormed the bastille, where political prisoners were held; On January 21, 1793, the revolution brought king Louis xvi to the guillotine, which symbolized the end of feudal rule. On 20 February 1793, the first republic of France was established.

　　The 18th century, full of darkness and oppression, is gone, and the miserable life of the people is over. We have ushered in the 21st century, which is to be bathed in hope, and the long years from that era to today are as brief as they were yesterday. I think that the spirit of carton is worthy of our study, he is affectionate, he keeps his promise, in order to fulfill his promise to Lucy, at all costs, including precious life.

　　The people of today will never let history repeat itself, nor will history repeat itself. Let us live each day and make our 21st century more glorious!

　　I believe that everyone who has seen a tale of two cities will be impressed by the shock. The book by dickens, a famous British writer, is immortal! Classic is classic, no matter how many years later, classics still sending out the bright luster, the ups and downs, whats more, the book story unimaginable a bizarre plot twists and turns, the master is the master, to make you know the story is fictional, but still as the story of the people and things, or moved, or anger, or sadness, or tears, dont you dont admire master ability of fiction.

　　Dickens in a tale of two cities revealed before the outbreak of the French revolution, the nobility of the ruthless oppression, depending on the masses of poor people mean dog, failure, and finally an outbreak of the French revolution, poor people after long-term brutal oppression, crazy revenge for the noble class, the same ruthless trial authority and the judgment of their lives, blood is blood, blinded by hate glasses, blood excited nerve, head to the ground, but vengeance will solve the problem? Can you live a happy life? This is the question dickens raised in his book. If the authorities have more compassion and more love for the people, so that everyone will not be oppressed, or the revolution will not break out, we must know that the working peoples demands on society are very low and low! The revolution should be a warning to those in power. Worth fortunately, in the 20th century, we this s our authorities, whether China, wen jiabao, or Mr Obama in the United States, they are put forward for all to common prosperity, let everyone enjoy the fruit of social and economic development, they think that favor the rich society not only moral, also a serious threat to social stability.

　　Love and tolerance is the good idea, because saw a pair of noble brother destroyed the crimes of a poor family, was framed in the bastille 18 years of doctor, doctor angry in prison, he secretly recorded the persecuted, vowed to heaven and earth, accused of aristocrats and their children and grandchildren, until the last one, in the years of imprisonment, the doctor lost his head, do the shoes has become the only sustenance to sustain life. After his release from prison, his father returned to his senses with his daughters deep love for his father. With great love and tolerance, he agreed to the marriage of his daughter.

　　When with a picture of the ceiling look up court appearance of Mr. Carlton, gives the impression of how unruly and arrogant, although he talented, although he has a heart of precious, but because of the darkness of the society, he chose the debauchery, chose the cynicism, chose the ceremony, Carlton love Lucy how pure and selfless, he chose when Lucy happiness silently blessing, secretly guardian beside her, when Lucy need a bailout, he chose to his own life in exchange for Lucy her husbands life, to ensure the happiness of Lucy, although I do not believe that the world really can have such feelings, but I still deep compassion, pity, Carlton, great respect for his feelings, hope all tender belong to him, to comfort his wounded heart.

　　The children who were persecuted by the aristocrats, the hatred of the heart, the revenge became the knife axe, the symbol of the vengeance, the death of the goddess of vengeance is not a metaphor for the price of revenge?

　　Hatred, tolerance, love! This all let us deeply ponder introspection! Carltons words are supposed to be all the best footnote: this age of sin, and bring forth the previous era of nature of sin to offset by themselves, and gradually disappeared, a beautiful peace loving era will be born!

　　After reading the story, do you still have jingling shoes in your mind? Still in the doctors gloom, sad helplessness and tears of anger? Still in tears for carton? Still sighing for madame Defarge? I think you must be in the doctor family finally happy peace and silent blessing!

　　A tale of two cities is written by Charles Dickens, one of Americas greatest writers. He was born in 1812 in Portsmouth and died in 1870. He was born poor, but soon after his unhappy childhood he became rich and successful. He also wrote many famous novels, such as oliver twist. Great expectations and so on.

　　The tale of a tale of two cities was written in 1775. In a room above a tavern in Paris, there was a white-haired man who was busy making shoes. He had been a prisoner in the bastille for 18 years. Now he was a free man, yet he did not know his name, and he did not eat his friends. All he knew was that he had to keep making shoes.

　　On a bus to Paris, she sat on lucie, the daughter she had never seen before. Lucie brought her father back to London, and, with the love and care of her daughter, he forgot about the past and learned to live as a free man.

　　Yet during the stormy years of the French revolution, the past was neither lost nor forgotten. And so soon the danger secretly brought lucie and the people she loved back to Paris... There was the horrible death machine - the guillotine waiting for the enemies of France.

　　The protagonist here is clearly debunking the darkness and corruption of the society at that time. One original for the 18 years as a prisoner, what also dont remember the man, then is he had never met the daughter "back to London, started a free life, but in the end, his daughter and she loved ones were returned to Paris of darkness, by the French enemies killed!

　　双城记英文读后感 篇15

　　I read a tale of two cities, the reason is that there are a lot of net friend recommendation online, they all said it was a very touching book, Ill download on the net with curiosity, finished part feels good, just write this entry.

　　The tale of a tale of two cities is a profound depiction of the turbulent times of the day, and the love of women who have sacrificed their lives for historical realities.

　　It is said on the Internet that the tale of a tale of two cities is a story of two men and a woman, but I feel that the man does not know what the author really means. s DE, in my opinion, a hatred and French aristocrat, Lucy, Charles and Sydneys feelings, is just to show who caused the war, why things. In fact, people have to be tolerant to others, even if the big things can be small and small. I remember one thing that happened to me: once, I accidentally lost my classmates book, and I thought she would pay me for it. I didnt think that when I spoke to her, she not only did not scold me, but also told me that I could not forget the whole thing in the future, so I should form good habits. Well, maybe this is the attitude between people.

　　In this work, I see a lot of different people. Honest good yet suffered persecution horse knight doctor, loyal lowry, appearance indifference, inner passion, dissolute and selfless Sidney, inhuman DEs wife, cruel and wicked fremont brothers el... There is a complex hatred in it, but it creates more hatred, and this complicated act is vividly presented in front of us, and we seem to be back to the era of the irrational. Some people complain that being born in this century is a bad thing, to be born in the past, at least to be a martyr. In fact, this idea is wrong. We should make contribution to modern life in modern times. And have all kinds of people in the world, they all have different personalities, we who dont cry because it is the character of the weird and dont make friends with him, also dont believe that the people around, maybe he is one of them want to harm you.

　　What I like most about a tale of two cities is Sidney, the lawyers assistant. Carlton. His first appearance was different, and when the people in the courtroom looked casually at the ceiling, one of his notes revealed the plot behind the case. Him with a melancholy, in an appearance as a lawyer, he is talented, but is reluctant to hiding behind the somebody else, do others stepping stone of success, he built his own hands and a wall, cut off from fame and wealth. He once said, "I am a desperate coolie. I dont care about anyone in the world, and nobody CARES about me."

　　Yes, we should not aspire to be famous, so we can not learn more knowledge. Maybe you can be a stepping stone to others, and you can learn more knowledge from others. We can see his strengths and weaknesses, learn his strengths, and throw away his weaknesses.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇17

　　Recently I read a novel called A Tale of Two Cities. The novel is based on the French Revolution. It was 1775,both England and France were on the verge of Revolution .Englands king ,George Ⅲ,was having trouble with his American colonies .And France s king ,LouisⅩⅥ, was too concerned with his own wealth to worry about his people .

　　Therefore, neither king noticed the changes taking place in his country .They didnt realize ,or care ,that the peasants were hungry and unhappy .They never thought that anything was wrong with the way things were .They were wealthy ,and they thought only of themselves.

　　But the peasants were tired of being treated unfairly. They were tired of watching the kings waste money while their own children starved. So, in both London and Paris, the lower classes prepared to revolt .They were ready to force the kings to make a change.

　　Then one day in July of 1789, the Revolution began in France .Armed peasants ran through the streets of Saint Antoine .Their leader, Ernest Defarge continued to pass out weapons. The men cheered and waved their weapons in the air .Then, they marched toward the Bastille.

　　The novel also talks the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton., who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a romantic French aristocrat, his uncle is the Marquis St.

　　Evremonde. The Marquis is infamous for his cruelty. While is a cynical English barrister. However, the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette.

　　Charles Darnay is not cruel like his uncle has been. When he knew his servant is in danger, he went to France at once to defend him. He had promised his mother that he would help the peasants. He had a hard time traveling through France. When he finally reached Paris, he was taken prisoner. In my point of view, Charles Darnay is innocent, he is not cruel.

　　The other one is Sydney Carton.

　　In my opinion, he is a wonderful man. He once said,‘I am not worthy of your love, but I want you to know that I wish for your happiness. I hope that we will able to remain close friends. Miss Manette, I would give my life for you. Never forget that, Lucie.’ Eventually, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place. Because Charles Darnay is Lucie’s husband, and they led a happy life. In order to help Lucie live a enjoyable life, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place.

　　From the novel A tale of two cities .I learn much ,not only the Revolution in two different cities ,but also the deep relationship between people .Im impressed by Mr. Manettes tough spirit ,never give in to difficulties .Even though he had been imprisoned a long time ,he struggled to live. He was also an upright man .When his son -in -law was arrested by the Revolutionists, Dr.Manette strongly defended Charles Darnay ,hoped that the Revolutionists could release Charles Darnay .

　　Lucie Manette gives me a deep impression .At the beginning of the novel, I learn that her father had passed, but then,Mr. Lorry told her that her father was still alive. Because Lucie s father was imprisoned for a long time .Her mother begged the king to help her ,but he gave no reply .She suffered terribly when her husband disappeared ,so she told her daughter that her father had died .But she never stopped looking for Lucies father .The king was of no help ,and she never found even one clue .Two years after his disappearance ,she died .

　　I am deeply impressed by the other characters in the novel.

　　Mr.Lorry is also a good man ,at the first of the novel ,when he met Miss Lucie ,and told her that her father was still alive .Besides ,he helped her

　　to find her father in Paris .On the way to Paris ,they experienced many difficulties .But Mr.Lorry didnt give up helping Miss Lucie and Lucie s father .As far as I concerned ,it not only show his hospitality but also show his hatred to the European royal.

　　In Paris, the Marquis St. Evrémonde, Darnays uncle, is returning from an audience with Monseigneur, one of the greatest lords in France, when his coach runs over and kills the son of the peasant Gaspard; he throws a coin to Gaspard to compensate him for his loss; in the assembled crowd is the implacable tricoteuse, Madame Defarge. He throws the money back, enraging the Marquis and leading him to exclaim that he would willingly kill any of the peasants of France.

　　If I were a peasant at that time in England or France,I would join in the revolution with no hesitation .All man are equal .The king of country should concern his people whether they are starving or homeless .We can learn much from history in our country or in other countries ,only when the leader of the country cares much about his peoples life can the country be stronger .People are the base of the country ,without people ,country can not be stronger and can not develop.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇19

　　As we all know, Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities is a novel based on the French Revolution in the late 1800s. In that terrible time, every moment was full of great fear. Before that great revolution, 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.

　　As an outstanding writer, in Dickenss 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. A tale of two cities has its difference with the general historical novel, its character and the main plot are all fictionalizes. With the broad real background of the French Revolution, 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. The author use narrates, foreshadowing, upholstery and so many techniques, causes the structure integrity and strictness, the plot winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature, it displayed the remarkable artistic skill. The style A tale of two cities is solemnity and melancholy, fills indignation, but lacks the humor of the early works.

　　Besides, this novel criticizes the violence and oppression in the society. In this novel, the author not only expresses his humanitarianism on the love between human beings, but also expresses his view according to his critics to the violence and oppression in that 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. However, 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 the Christian love and self-sacrifice. Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities is essentially a tale of love, sacrifice, and, most importantly, resurrection. 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. In this novel, the author portrays some typical characters that embody the author’s view. First, he portrays some kind, upright and humane persons, such as Dr. Manette, Lucie Manette, Mr. Lorry, etc. But at the same time, he also portrays some cruel and ferocious persons, such as the Marquis of Evremonde Brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Defarge. He uses these characters to make a contrast, which clearly expresses his view. In short, what he was trying to express is that everyone can love each other and sacrifice for others. So Sydney Carton is the supreme embodiment of Charles Dickens’ humanitarianism.

　　Ultimately, A Tale of Two Cities is essentially a tale of love, sacrifice, and most importantly, resurrection. Through personal sacrifices or sacrifices for those who they loved, it shows the human’s virtue and integrity. By struggling for, hunting for, and sacrificing for a better life, all of the main characters are forever resurrected in the hearts of those they love forever.

　　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.

　　双城记英文读后感 篇20

　　A Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens’s masterpieces; the story is an exposure of the contradiction before France Revolution-the appealing of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” by France lower class.

　　The main clue of the novel is based on the terrible experience of Dr. Manette, the plot is very complex, attracting, and exciting. Lying at the heart of which we can see the themes from different people.

　　Sydney Carton

　　When I read the chapter pertaining to interrogation on Charles Darney, intuition tells that the lawyer assistant who feels at ease with his eyes fixed on the ceiling must be a very special man, which turned out to be right when I finished the whole book. He seems indifferent about everything, even his love. He is brilliant but he thinks otherwise, or rather, he thinks he is inferior to others. Even his master thinks that if he worried about this or that, he would make a great success. Feeling of humbleness is the fatal point leading the loss of his beloved one. If Lucie Manette lives with him, he thinks, she would sustain much hardship. At the end of the story, he sacrifices his life for his love willingly.

　　Many people say that love is selfish and egocentric, but the temperament of Sydney Carton tells us that love can be sublime and pure. Through this, Dickens tells us loving someone doesn’t mean you should live together with him or her. You can help your beloved one silently, even sacrifice for love. This is universal fraternity, I think, which is the sublimation of normal love. And also, Dickens may indicate that true love really exists, regardless of the situation is full of commotion or not.

　　Charles Darney

　　He’s born at a family of royal lineage-the son of Marquis. Regret and abomination fill in his mind for the cruelty and the crime his family have done to the poor. He determines to quit the right of inheritance of his family and moves to England to acting as a French teacher. When he comes back to France, his notorious and sadistic uncle who holds the succession of the family doesn’t welcome him. His uncle is doomed to death because of his cruelty. When he returns to England, he proposes marriage to Lucie Manette. He knows his proposal may not be accepted by Dr.Manette, for he is the son of the enemy of Dr.Manette. After the France Revolution breaks out, he returns to France again to save a servant. But unfortunately, he’s cast into prison.

　　Lucie Manette

　　She goes to France with Jarvis Lorry to take her father back, she shows great sympathy to Sydney Carton, and she prayed his husband would get an early deliverance from captivity.

　　She is a kind-hearted lady made of love and sympathy; she is also the incarnation of elegance.

　　Dr.Manette

　　As a victim of the gloom society, he lives a miserable and contradictory life. After releasing from prison, the only thing he does is making shoes, which become worse when he comes across a harsh situation. He loves his daughter just as she does to him, even when he knows that Charles Darney is the son of his enemy, he allow the proposal. And when he notices his daughter was totally down to know the fact that her husband was put into prison, he promise to her that he will rescue him out. He spares no effects to do that, in vain, though.

　　From this person, Dickens may tells that love between the lower-class family members are as pure as crystal.

　　Jarvis Lorry

　　An elderly manager at Tellsons Bank and a dear friend of Dr. Manette. He is very loyal to Dr. Manette. He accompanies them all the time without considering his own life.

　　Couple Defarge

　　They’re the leader of the revolution. Ernest Defarge, to some extent, is a good man. He was the servant of Dr.Manette, he provides accommodation for him. But his wife, Madame Defarge, is really a wicked woman. She knits all the time, she wants to kill all the people who lead a richer or happier life just out of envying and revenge. The result turns out to be dramatic: she’s killed by herself as a consequence that the gun goes off by accident.

　　Resurrection maybe is the main theme in the novel. Dickens here implied that he doesn’t agree the upper class treat the poor badly, meanwhile, he doesn’t agree the lower-class to overthrow the upper class. He hopes that they can live in harmony with each other. Underneath the lines, Dickens wants his readers to be careful that the same sort of revolution that so damaged France wont happen in Britain, which is shown to be nearly as unjust as France. But his warning is addressed not to the British lower classes, but to the aristocracy. He repeatedly uses the metaphor of sowing and reaping; if the aristocracy continues to plant the seeds of a revolution through behaving unjustly, they can be certain of harvesting that revolution in time. The lower classes do not have any agency in this metaphor: they simply react to the behavior of the aristocracy. In this sense it can be said that while Dickens sympathizes with the poor, he identifies with the rich: they are the books audience, its "us" rather than its "them". Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.

　　The book of Shuangcheng is one of the most important works of Dickens. Long before the creation of the book of Shuangcheng, Dickens paid close attention to the French Revolution and studied the history of French Revolution by Carlile, a British historian, and other scholars. His keen interest in the French Revolution began with concerns about the serious social crisis lurking in Britain at the time. By the end of 1854, he said: "I believe that discontent smoke than fire like this up to much worse, particularly as the first revolution in France before the outbreak of the public psychology, which is dangerous, because the imperious and incompetence of hundreds of reasons - such as bad harvest, the nobility of the already tense situation the last step up, the loss of war overseas and domestic incidents -- that have never seen turned into a terrible fire." Therefore, "Shuangcheng" this historical novel creation motive is Jiegufengjin, to experience the history of the French Revolution for reference, and sounded the alarm to the British ruling class; at the same time, through the revolution about the extreme terror, also harbor resentment, hope to violence against the tyranny of the masses warned, find a way to fantasy social contradictions growing status of the uk.

　　For this purpose, the novel profoundly exposed before the French Revolution intensified the deep social contradictions, strongly criticized the nobility Huangyan brutal, and deeply sympathize with the suffering of the people of lower. The work pointed out sharply that there was a limit to the tolerance of the masses. Under the cruel rule of the aristocracy, the masses were forced to revolt against the necessity of subsistence. This resistance is just. The novel also depicts the spectacular scenes of the uprising, the people attacking the Bastille and the great strength of the people. However, the author stands on the humanitarian side of the bourgeoisie, that is, against the tyranny of cruel oppression of the people, and against the violence of the revolutionary people against tyranny. In Dickenss writing, the whole revolution was described as a great catastrophe that destroyed all things. It mercilessly punished the evil aristocracy, and killed innocent people blindly.

　　This novel shapes three kinds of characters. One is the Marquis efulimeng brothers as the representative of the feudal aristocracy, they "only unshakable philosophy is oppression", is the author of pain and lashing the object. The other is getting the cutting stone couple and so on revolutionary masses. It must be pointed out that their image is distorted. For example, Defarges wife Diana, she was born in the humiliation, persecuted farmer, with a hatred of the feudal aristocracy, the author deeply sympathize with her plight, the revolution broke out after the admiration of her strong personality, outstanding talent and extraordinary leadership skills; but when the revolution further, Bi a turn her denigration as a cold, cruel, narrow avenger. Especially when she went to the doctors house to search for Lucie and little Lucie, she was shown to be a bloodthirsty maniac. Finally, the author made her die at gunpoint and clearly expressed a negative attitude. The third category is the ideal figure in the eyes of the author humanitarian resolve social contradictions, to the example of love to overcome hatred, including Mernit and his daughter Dyer, and laurel and Kardon. Meinite doctor Marquis brothers depriving the breakup of the Marquis brothers have hatred, but to his daughters love, Dyer feuding can abandon old hatreds; that the Marquis brothers and nephews, he condemned his family greatly discerning and apprehending, evil, abandon the title and property, determined by his actions to "sin". The people who reflect each other are the victims of aristocratic tyranny, tolerant and tolerant; one is the heir of the noble Marquis, and the other is benevolent. Among them was Lucie, who was the daughter and wife. In the bond of love they form a happy family of mutual understanding and affection. This is obviously the author envisaged a violent revolution contrary to the solution of social contradictions, is unrealistic.

　　The book of Shuangcheng is different from the general historical novel, and its characters and main plot are imaginary. In the broad real background of the French Revolution, the author of the fictional characters meinite experienced doctors mainly leads to miscarriage of justice, love and revenge three mutually independent and interrelated stories intertwined, intricate plot, complex clue. The author adopts flashback, narration interspersed with flashbacks, foreshadowing, techniques such as pave the way to novel structural integrity of tight, tense plot twists and turns and dramatic, showing excellent artistic skills. "Shuangcheng" style of solemn, gloomy, full of anger, but the lack of early works of humor.
