The tale of two cities is a book you could not read in one sitting. It requires a lot of stops, pauses and rereading. But as I progress, in the story, I was reminded that it is not called a classic for no reason. Charles dickens without a doubt haungtingly depicts the violence and cruelty of french evolution and how easily the oppressed could be the oppressor. However as violence and greed for power is a nature of a man, it is also the man instinct to love and care. And with that I hope as Sydney Carton, find in his heart the peace and love that we all find the courage to forgo our hate.
