22 February 2017 Tale of Two Cities A sign of love is to make sacrifices for the other person. Caring about a person means that that person has to sacrifice and give a little for the other person. Loving someone means that that person has to give and take for the other person. A "Tale of Two Cities" is full of examples of how love requires sacrifice. In "The Tale of Two Cities", Dickens shows that love requires sacrifice, as shown through the characters Sydney Carton, Dr. Manette, and Charles Darnay. Dr. Manette loved his daughter, Lucie Manette with all of his heart." She was the golden thread that united him to a Past beyond his misery, and to a Present beyond his misery: and the sound …show more content…
Sydney Carton loved two people in the book, and she would sacrifice anything for them. Sydney loved Lucie Manette. He loved her so much that he was willing to die for her. " For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything, I would embrace any sacrifice for you, and for those dear to you" (Dickens 147).He represents the hero of the book because he died for Lucie. His decision to die instead of Charles Darnay also represented his love he had for Lucie Manette because she would have been devastated with the loss of her husband, Charles Darnay. "Carton toward and over the threshold of his dying, the hero's epitomizing end as Ressurrection Man is then displaced into narrative prophecy, as we have seen, and made available there far into the future" (Stewart 119).

Sacrificing for someone means that that person loves the other person and that they would do absolutely anything for the person. Sydney Carton, Lucie Manette, and Charles Darnay sacrificing and putting everything on the line for the people they love is really what love is all
