This section of the reading starts with an man named Foulon. This man is known as being a horrific 'wealthy' man and the Defarges catch him. He is then hung for his crimes of telling the poor people that if they are hungry then they should eat grass in place of food. This is what truly kills him, his disrespect and uncareness. Then they hang him in the gallows, yet he does not die on his firt attempt of hanging, not even on his second, but on his third try. In a way it makes me think that someone is trying to tell them something. There has to be some sort of reason this man does not die on their first or second attempt on hanging him. Then for these peoples own satisfaction they place his head on a pike, like their pride in the killing of this man.
The next chapter goes back to talking of the mender of roads. This person was of importance in the beginning of the book and now has come back with more importance to the story. Then the Chateau is burnt down as an act of support towards the Revolution.
Darnay then recieves a letter of plea to get him to go to France because of all that is going on there. Darnay decides that he must go in order to take back his name and his reputation. He is determined to succeed in giving up his inheritance and doing right by the people. Yet Mr. Lorry and Lucie are not so sure about this plan. I don't think that Charles is taking in consideration all about how much the people really despise him and his family. Whether or not he wants to stay away from that they still want to use him to make an example of what they are all about and what they will do in order to go towards what they hope to achieve from the capture of Darnay.
