My Commons on a Tale of Two Cities
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 Dickens's 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 insert 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.
