2) Imagery is used in many different ways. In A Tale of Two Cities Charles Dickens uses imagery to foreshadow, to characterize, and to create atmosphere. Dickens uses imagery to foreshadow what is going to happen later on in the book. For example, when the large cask in front of the wine shop breaks it stains the streets red. It foreshadows the uprising of the French Revolution, and where the planning is going to take place. It also foreshadows what is going to happen during the revolution, but instead of wine it will be blood that is staining the roads. Another example of foreshadowing is when Dickens describes the Farmer and the Woodsman as being workers of Death, working silently and unceasingly. This foreshadows how the French Revolution is going to start; silently, without any suspicion from the aristocrats. It is going to start with a bang that no one knew was coming. Lastly, the use of the echoing footsteps is a way of foreshadowing. It shows that whatever happened before is going to repeat itself later on. It also shows that some footsteps taken by the characters will disappear and they will gain a new goal or identity in life. Imagery is used to foreshadow what is to take place later on in the book.…

The dictionary definition of Juxtaposition is “An act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast” (Dictionary.com). In the book “NOD” by Adrian Barnes, uses the definition to give his book the theme in which he uses words to illustrate the slowly unmasking of social etiquette.

Second, family structure is constructed in a different matter all due to the lifestyles that a character might have. To illustrate, in the novel A Tale of Two Cities the relationship that Doctor Manette and Lucie had, was a very close and loving relationship that did not have any type of roles. In the text, A Tale of Two Cities, it states, “‘You Lucie? It is out of the consolation and restoration you have brought to me, that these remembrances arise, and pass between us and the moon on the last night’” (Dickens 132). This quote is illustrating the way family was constructed in England, two people, that have any type of relationship, always showed affection and caring towards one another. Consequently, Lucie and Doctor Manette had a very…
