Repression In A Tale Of Two Cities

People in the novels Brave New World, A Tale of Two Cities, and the play A Doll House show similar interests about becoming individuals and wanting freedom from a dominant figure in their lives, and those characteristics seem to be a repeating pattern among all three books.
