A Tale of Two Cities

This section of the reading started off with the chapter called "The Knitting Done." This made me think of something going on with Madame Defarge. At first I was thinking it would have something to do with them being over with the knitting, finally acheiving their goal. But when I thought this through I realized that they would never truly be over with their murdering. They would never really finish this because the world and the people in it are not perfect and are not exactally how the Defarges want them to be. When I finally read this chapter it turns out that "The Knitting Done" actually has to do with Madame Defarge's death and her knitting coming to an end with the end of her life. And to top it all off Miss Pross is the one who took her down. Miss Pross has really changed from when the book started. I thought that she was a strong woman who acted motherly around Lucie, doing what it took to protect Lucie, which is what she does in the end. She can be compared to Carton in the way that he was willing to give up his life for Lucie and Miss Pross is willing to do the same thing for her because she loves her.

Miss Pross ends up killing Madame Defarge, accidentally. Then also Cruncher ended up changing too. He proclaimed that he would rather have his wife praying for him in order to have good 'luck' or something of that sort. The lives of the characters in the book have changed excessively.

Then is the time for Carton to be taken away in order to meet his fate. He is lead out by the seamstress and then taken to the guillatine. Carton says that he was in away more at piece with dieing rather than living. He dies knowing that his life was worth something in the sacrifice he made for Lucie.
