In A Tale of Two Cities author Charles Dickens uses doubling and repetition as techniques to shape his novel. One way Dickens uses doubling is through his characters such as: Charles Darnay/Sydney Carton, John Barsad/Roger Cly and the Evermonde twins. Dickens' choice to create doubling between characters creates a series of intertwining connections that reveal themselves as the novel progresses. They also create the need to follow and remember previous events so that all connections can be seen in a bigger picture. Within the text we see that Charles Darnay is described as physically attractive and self-possessed (Dickens 60). While the description we are given of Sydney Carton is that he is in the classroom staring at the ceiling without any kind of change in attitude. This suggests that he is less interested in himself and his surroundings (Dickens 72). We are also informed that Carton does not maintain his physical appearance, which is completely opposite to Darnay who is well reserved and well kept. Her dress is described as half torn and her wig is messy (Dickens 73). Yet the two are duplicitous because they physically appear as the same person in several instances, but as the story unfolds we see that their personalities and actions make them completely opposite. Carton's character reflects a more heroic figure through his actions, despite the image we receive of him as a lifeless drunk. Carton saves Darnay on multiple occasions throughout the novel. The first case is when Darnay is on trial for treason. Carton passes his colleague, Mr. Stryver, a note which he contemplates (Dickens 73). This action draws the court's attention to notice Sydney Carton who they believe mysteriously resembles Darnay. With this new information, the boy... was stabbed in the middle of the paper. The boy's sister is also present; regardless of their understanding of good and evil they ended up raping the young girl (Dickens 313). For the silence they offered Manette some gold which he refused. This suggests the true severity of their selfishness and not caring about anyone but themselves. The Marquis's wife, Darnay's mother, told him that one day she would repay the injured girl who is the surviving sister of the girl and boy murdered by the Evermonde twins. This is the "business" that Darnay does throughout the novel, correcting the mistakes and actions of his father and uncle. Dr. Manette was shocked by the whole affair and sent a letter to the authorities about the bloodshed events that occurred, but the Marquis intercepts the delivery and burns Manette's letter. He then sends Manette to the Bastille, but quietly so that no one knows where he is.
