ind and overall objective. The book is written from an editorial point of view, with references to “I” and deviations from narration to monologue, reveals the Novel’s own slavery to the teachings of Dickens’s morals, or perhaps his own slavery to the morals and events of his time.

The reader is made to believe that Lucies character is one of purity and innocence a pure foil to the villainy of the latter mentioned Mrs. defarge.Which brings me to the Villainous characters. At the other side of Dickens seemingly “moral lecture” are the characters of Mr. and Madame Defarge, note the emphasis on Madame, an entirely foreboding and strong title. While Lucie’s title is Miss, which gives an impression of youth purity and overall innocence. In contrast to lucie’s flawless righteousness the defarges have a flawless malevolence and Are sentenced to evil from the moment the reader hear...
