Tow Cities

   A Tale of Two Cities, a historical novel written by the British writer Charles Dickens, describes the great age of the French revolution. The two cities are Paris and London. This story links the two great cities, Paris and London, and revolves the family of Dr. Manette and the neighborhood of Saint Antoine, describing how the aristocrats defiled and mutilated the common people, and the people's deep-rooted hatred towards the aristocrats led to the inevitable French revolution. The main idea of the book is self-sacrifice for love.
In the novel, Dickens succeeded in creating the distinct characters of the main characters. Manette was a father who loved his daughter so much that he married her to the son of his enemies with tolerance. Lucy is a gentle and kind wife, in order to let her husband to see her, she stood against the wall for two hours every day. Charles was an upright and magnanimous nobleman who fell in love with Lucy, and was willing to lay down his title and fortune for affection.
What I loved most and touched me most in this novel is the paralegal, Sidney Carlton. Between life and love, he chose the latter. He laid down his life for Lucy’s lover.
Although the novel ends with an unexpected happy ending, I feel regretful and sad. Some people say that emotions are selfish, but in Dickens's a tale of two cities, I can deeply feel the most pure and lofty love. It's hidden deep inside, but incredibly deep. It suffers silently for the happiness of the beloved. It always gives without asking for anything in return. This kind of love rise to a new state virtually, and it is forever beautiful and charming.
