The plot of this book is very mysterious, and the author concatenates all kinds of clues, as mentioned in the article, "weaving" becomes the novel. The greatest feature of the novel is the complexity of the characters, such as the relationship between Dr Manette and danan; The relationship between Mrs D urberge and dannan - the two relations directly led to the final tragedy. And the relationship between Mr. Lorry and Mr. DE hair, and the relationship between the pass and the spy, and so on. These complex figures link the work of this book.

Thats how I read the novel.
双城记英文读后感 篇2
Today, I finally read the book of two cities by the British writer Charles Dickens. After reading this book, I was in a long mood.
Novels in the 18th century French revolution as the background, the story will be in Paris, London, link up the two big cities, a narrative horse nate doctor is full of love and adventure, interspersed with the nobles cruelty, peoples anger, trial spy... It mainly reveals the social order of the British and French in that period, and the life of the nobles and the ordinary people.
The book focuses on the fact that poor Dr Manette, who had been imprisoned in the bastille for 19 years by the aristocracy, had his daughter taken to live in England. In court, the father and daughter met the French nobleman darley and the poor master carton. Later, manettes daughter Lucy and darley married, and after ten years of happy family life, caton also gave Lucy a promise to make Lucy happy.
The people living in poor and helpless, cold and hunger, the plight of poor sickness repeatedly, suffered oppression, their hearts a backlog of deep and deep hatred of nobility, finally triggered the French revolution to overthrow the regime, for freedom. After the outbreak of the French revolution, darley went to France to defend his innocent servant, but he was arrested for being a French aristocrat. And carton, in order to make the promise of lucies life happy, used him to be similar to darley, and, before he was sentenced to death, he replaced him with Dudley, and replaced him with the guillotine.
The dark ages have passed, the days of hope and light have come, and the darkness is terrible! At first, the world belongs to the king, and later, the world belongs to the people. On July 13, 1789, the people stormed the bastille, where political prisoners were held; On January 21, 1793, the revolution brought king Louis xvi to the guillotine, which symbolized the end of feudal rule. On 20 February 1793, the first republic of France was established.
The 18th century, full of darkness and oppression, is gone, and the miserable life of the people is over. We have ushered in the 21st century, which is to be bathed in hope, and the long years from that era to today are as brief as they were yesterday. I think that the spirit of carton is worthy of our study, he is affectionate, he keeps his promise, in order to fulfill his promise to Lucy, at all costs, including precious life.
The people of today will never let history repeat itself, nor will history repeat itself. Let us live each day and make our 21st century more glorious!
双城记英文读后感 篇3
"It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, and it was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief, and it was the epoch of incredulity. It was the season of light, and it was the season of darkness. It was the spring of hope, and it was the winter of despair. We had everything before us, and we had nothing before us. We were all going direct to Heaven, and we were all going direct the other way. In short, the period was so far like the present period. That some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of parison only. "
With the beginning of above words, Dickens told us a love story called "A Tale of Two Cities", which is one of his most important representative works. The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution, intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel, and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes. The novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on, which displayed peoples great strength.
The novel has portrayed many different people. Doctor Manette is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually , Lucie is beautiful and gentle ,Charles is graceful and noble,Lorry is upright and honest ,Sydney is semblance of indifferent, innermost feelings of warm, unconventional but also selfless and lofty,Miss Pross is straightforward and loyal,Evremonde brothers are cruel and sinister. The plex hatred is hard to solve, the cruel revenge has made more hatreds, loves rebirth in the hell edge, but take the life as the price.
Among many different kinds of people in the story, it is Sydney Carton who impressed me most.
I can’t describe my feeling at the first sight of him. To tell the truth, he was not eye-catching at that time. When the readers were immersed in the meeting between Lucie and Charles, he only played a little role as a lawyer who had the same face with Charles and extricated him from accusation through this point.
Then they went to drink. Without scruple, Carton expressed his dislike to Charles. Yes, they had the same face. But they were different. Carton was a little lawyer, while Charles was a successful man. Carton was quite free and easy, while Charles was graceful and noble. In fact, they were absolutely two distinctive men except for their appearance. Certainly, what Carton cared about was not the wealth or the position, but the love of Lucie. He realized that Lucie loved Charles, so he was barely out of control at that time.
Every time I read this part, I could feel his sincerity and broad-minded. By no means would he say a lie. He must tell you what he thinks in the heart. It is Sydney Carton, a true man.
After a short time, he can’t resist himself going to see Lucie. But when he stepped into the small forest, he saw Lucie and Charles getting together happily. He didn’t rush towards them, however, he returned without a word. Though he had a period of depression after that, he was clear who Lucie loved was not him. So what he only would do was to bless her.
Some days later, he came to meet Lucie again. He still told Lucie about his love, although he knew it was useless. He just wanted her to know it, as he said,"I want you to know that you are my last dream in my life. "
Many times, love is a thing about only one person. "I love you."It’s my business, not yours.
So when Carton showed his deep love to Lucie, I suddenly felt that this man was so lovely and deserved to beloved.
"Remember always there’s a man who could give his life to you, or anyone you love." Carton left with these words. But all of these seemed a sign of misfortune.
From then on, I came to understand how profound his love was. No doubt that it is the most moving love words in the world. Although you don’t love me, I am still there for you or your beloved though thick and thin.
But I knew in this story, Carton was bound to a tragic role. So when I saw he only left a view of his back in her wedding, there was a plex mood appearing slowly in my heart.
Some years passed. When Lucie appeared in the front of Carton, she became a mother. This time, Lucie’s face was filled with anxiety. Because Charles was in prison and would be killed soon. What lead to this was the plicated and filthy past.
From the point, the dirty of society was reflected. It was the sorrow in that period. But they must pay for this sorrow. So it was the time that Carton achieved his permission. "I told you once, for you I would do anything. I will. " He said.
At the last moment, he and Charles exchanged. That they had the same face helped them at the second time. When Lucie and her family left without knowing the truth, Carton, instead of Charles, went to be killed.
How can we evaluate his action? We can’t say anything about it because all what he did was out of love.
As he said to the young girl who panied him before died, "If we have no fear, we can be calm all the way." He was so calm to greet what would be ing soon, for she would get her happiness and he loved her forever.
"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." With her face rising before his eyes, he went to execution ground calmly.It is "A Tale of Two Cities", also a tale of Sydney Carton.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
Charles Dickens（1812～1870），one of the greatest novelist in England. I have read his A tale of two cities .And this is the beginning of the book.
“A Tale of Two Cities”, one of Dickens’ works, is a well-known long story. And it has a great influence on the society at that time. When I saw the title at first, I thought it might tell something about the developing process of two cities, which might be no fun. However, after reading it , I found I had been wrong.
It portrays a brutal, bloody and revengeful society as well as love and friendship. It happened before and after the Revolution in France. The ruthless and cruel landowners and noblemen exploited the miserable people who owned nothing, but these poor people worked for others day and night. Noblemen had the power that one word would doubtlessly send others to prison. As time passed by, the noise of the coming-up revolution storm in Paris was growing louder and louder. At last, it was on the fourteenth of July, 1789 that the revolution broke out.
“The Bastille and its officers were in the hands of people, and the people wanted revenge and blood.” The true Freedom of France came. “The Guillotine, the new machine of death, cut off the heads of many, many people—not only the powerful and the cruel, but also the beautiful, the innocent, and the good.” Among the good, there was a man called Darney. Even though his father, wife and friends knew he was innocent, the people thought he was the enemy and would go to the Guillotine.
In spite of a shadow of fear and hate here and there, we can also see the great and kind persons. I think the greatest person is Mr. Manette who had been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years. What he suffered was difficult to imagine, but he was still kind and loved his daughter. He did his best to save his son-in-law, whose father and uncle were the men that had ever sent him to prison. Another great man is the lawyer, Sydney Carton, a friend of Darney. Before Darney went to Guillotine, Mr. Carton changed places with him and he said, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever know.” Besides, the story is full of love, including the love between father and daughter, the love between husband and wife, the love among friends and so on. In short, only if you have love in your heart, the life is meaningful. At the same time, the revenge will run away with you, freedom and happiness will be around you.
There is no doubt that Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers
in English. From this book, I see some true lives and moving stories from the old ages. I think you must feel the same as me that we don’t want to live in that condition. To be frank, we all look forward to living in a peaceful and love situation. Though the present life has improved a lot, there are still wars in some places. All that we need is to solve the problems in peaceful ways instead of by force. So let’s work hard together in order to make our life much more meaningful and happier, make our society more harmonious.
双城记英文读后感 篇8
I believe that everyone who has seen a tale of two cities will be impressed by the shock. The book by dickens, a famous British writer, is immortal! Classic is classic, no matter how many years later, classics still sending out the bright luster, the ups and downs, whats more, the book story unimaginable a bizarre plot twists and turns, the master is the master, to make you know the story is fictional, but still as the story of the people and things, or moved, or anger, or sadness, or tears, dont you dont admire master ability of fiction.
Dickens in a tale of two cities revealed before the outbreak of the French revolution, the nobility of the ruthless oppression, depending on the masses of poor people mean dog, failure, and finally an outbreak of the French revolution, poor people after long-term brutal oppression, crazy revenge for the noble class, the same ruthless trial authority and the judgment of their lives, blood is blood, blinded by hate glasses, blood excited nerve, head to the ground, but vengeance will solve the problem? Can you live a happy life? This is the question dickens raised in his book. If the authorities have more compassion and more love for the people, so that everyone will not be oppressed, or the revolution will not break out, we must know that the working peoples demands on society are very low and low! The revolution should be a warning to those in power. Worth fortunately, in the 20th century, we this s our authorities, whether China, wen jiabao, or Mr Obama in the United States, they are put forward for all to common prosperity, let everyone enjoy the fruit of social and economic development, they think that favor the rich society not only moral, also a serious threat to social stability.
Love and tolerance is the good idea, because saw a pair of noble brother destroyed the crimes of a poor family, was framed in the bastille 18 years of doctor, doctor angry in prison, he secretly recorded the persecuted, vowed to heaven and earth, accused of aristocrats and their children and grandchildren, until the last one, in the years of imprisonment, the doctor lost his head, do the shoes has become the only sustenance to sustain life. After his release from prison, his father returned to his senses with his daughters deep love for his father. With great love and tolerance, he agreed to the marriage of his daughter.
When with a picture of the ceiling look up court appearance of Mr. Carlton, gives the impression of how unruly and arrogant, although he talented, although he has a heart of precious, but because of the darkness of the society, he chose the debauchery, chose the cynicism, chose the ceremony, Carlton love Lucy how pure and selfless, he chose when Lucy happiness silently blessing, secretly guardian beside her, when Lucy need a bailout, he chose to his own life in exchange for Lucy her husbands life, to ensure the happiness of Lucy, although I do not believe that the world really can have such feelings, but I still deep compassion, pity, Carlton, great respect for his feelings, hope all tender belong to him, to comfort his wounded heart.
The children who were persecuted by the aristocrats, the hatred of the heart, the revenge became the knife axe, the symbol of the vengeance, the death of the goddess of vengeance is not a metaphor for the price of revenge?
Hatred, tolerance, love! This all let us deeply ponder introspection! Carltons words are supposed to be all the best footnote: this age of sin, and bring forth the previous era of nature of sin to offset by themselves, and gradually disappeared, a beautiful peace loving era will be born!
After reading the story, do you still have jingling shoes in your mind? Still in the doctors gloom, sad helplessness and tears of anger? Still in tears for carton? Still sighing for madame Defarge? I think you must be in the doctor family finally happy peace and silent blessing!
双城记英文读后感 篇9
"This is the best of times and the worst of times." The first sentence of a tale of two cities is quoted numerous times. But I guess the man who knows this sentence and the novel "tale of two cities" tells a story, and does not know why. If you want to understand the original meaning of this sentence, and why you write this classic sentence, it is natural to read the original.
"In short, that era is so similar to todays." This sentence actually explains the two questions of the above classic sentence: why do you say that, and to whom? This is one of the reasons why the novel was born, dickens hope that through such a novel, by describing the French revolution brought disaster to the people to express their own worry, warn the dangerous situation at the same time. A revolutionary history, two cities representing two countries, a few wind and rain people, constitute the main elements of the novel.
Although the tale of a tale of two cities is a classic novel, it is considered to be the authors view of history because it explicitly states that the revolutionary background is the French revolution. And that is the focus of countless controversies over the novel. In the novel, dickens showed the cruelty of the aristocracy, but also showed the irrational destruction of the revolutionary masses. The revolution, he argued, was a kind of oppression that replaced another kind of oppression, and a bloodbath that was a direct and heavy one instead of another. A series of depictions of the storming of the bastille and of the mob - bloody, brutal, cunning, malevolent - is the most striking aspect of the novel.
Dickens has devoted a great deal of ink to the evil of the mob, showing his abhorrence of the mob and, in a certain degree, the hatred of the revolution. Of course, as a humanist, dickens also points out the cure for the world: love. This kind of love, embodied in the novel includes family love, love, friendship and such private feelings, also includes the abandonment of the aristocracy, the salvation of the kind of fraternity. Among them, the most brilliant is the description of cartons love.
I like carton very much. In fact, carton was the embodiment of dickens, and dickens was the first to think of the man and the spirit of his body to conceive the novel. So, what was carton like? The novel describes: "the sun is sad and mournful, and the rising of sorrow, the sight unseen, is nothing worse than this man. He is talented and emotional, but he has no opportunity to show his talent. He cant do anything, and he cant make his own happiness. He knew his problem, but he resigned himself to his fate, and he wasted all his time, year after year.
It is a young man who has lost his talent and youth. The novel does not appear to have been explained, since he has appeared in the first place, and has not written much about his family background. Personally, this man represents dickens himself, so he does not need to describe too much - the fall of carton comes from his frustration with the deteriorating society. He went up to the guillotine and said, "I see the evil of this age, and the evil of the former times, which has caused this evil, and I have gradually died for my SINS."
Pessimists - caton, was rejected by his friends meet with difficulties, in the love of a womans husband is about to be guillotined in when he suddenly appeared, be dont save the situation, do price with his own life, in the Nick of time to make a replace plan to rescue his beloved womans husband.
It is not the love of Christ, who has redeemed his sin and died. In fact, in the novel, carton did indeed say, in the biblical tone, "the resurrection is in me, the life is in me, and the man who believes in me, though dead, will rise again. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. This is the medicine that dickens prescribed for "the worst of times", but it is, after all, an ideal. It is said that the tale of a tale of two cities is an immortal work without Sidney. The existence and behavior of carton, the novel loses its value and brilliance.

双城记英文读后感 篇11
The tale of two cities is a historical story, one of Dickens’ long fictions.The background to the novel is the revolution of France .It portrayed a brutal and bloody story , but it also contained love and friendship.
In the novel, Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman—marquis of Evermonde . When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family .What’s worse , he used his power to imprison Dr Manette , a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes . In order to hide their crimes. Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years . During these 18 years,Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit .
I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. Because their nature was cruel and evil, like demons. There is an old saying which means: People who commit too many crimes will kill themselves. After all, there is justice in the world. The demons can’t be rampant forever. Because the world will not forgive them. They will pay their lives for their crimes. Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis,’’He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.
The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman. Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down . However, some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde. To the opposite of his uncle, Darney was a kind and independent young man.
Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison. It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. During this time, Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton, the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time . At last, Lucie married Chares Darney .Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. This is the love between father and daughter. And Sydeny Carton , the very great man ,loved Lucie deeply. He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. He did it truely ,he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him. This is love for lovers . This is the most wonderful thing in the world. It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. At the end , Lucie, Dr Manette and Darney arrived in England safely.
The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France. The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main clue.The plots are complicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is complete and rigorous.
Dickens had dear love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators. But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

I wrote this after reading this literature, it was so wonderful that I could not restrain my excitement. In particular, when reading the last two or three chapters, the hazy, misty plots slowly seem to have been cleared by the light of the first sunlight and the fog of the fog. No wonder the author, Charles Dickens, said that he was "deeply moved and excited" by the novel and longed to play Sidney carton on the stage himself. Sidney, in my opinion, caton is indeed a can let a person "deeply moved, very excited, though, I began to he didnt play very interested, just a wild gentleman; The scene of the last brother and sister heading off to the guillotine really made me cry. In particular, the final message, which includes the ending of the novel, reveals the character of Sidney carton and the goodness of human nature. "What Ive done is the best and the best thing Ive ever done. What I am about to receive will be the most peaceful and peaceful rest of my life. Its really a tear-jerker.
First, a little personal opinion about the characters.
The first one is jarvis lorry. From the back, he was a dedicated banker who was extremely loyal to the bank and to his friend Alexander manette. He has been at the bank for at least a few decades, and from the authors witty description of "the various dark cabinets in tellsons bank, some elderly old men are working hard. When tellsons, hired a young man in London, they always hide he has been in the old, like a piece of cheese hid him in a dark corner, until he was with complete sets of tellson flavour, full of stains or mold." And you can see that. All that matters to him is the care and help of his old friends. I remember writing in the article that he could put aside his work for an old friend. And the morbidity of her father after lucies marriage made Mr. Lorry very uneasy: "Mr. Lorrys life was as good as ever, and his hopes grew dim, and his mood increased." "And Mr. Lorry, exhausted by his anxious day and night, fell asleep on duty." "But then he suddenly began to suspect that he was still dreaming." It was to the extent of exhaustion that he could see how deep his friendship was with his friends. And, finally, if it were not for lowry, for they are prepared to travel relatively comfortable through the acceptance, with light behind a terrified woman, a man who fainted, a small child, a delirious elderly, again how also escape not escape from the so-called "people" clutches.
One more figure is Lucy. Her own appearance has already determined that she is a compassionate and weak and strong woman. For her father, who had been imprisoned for eighteen years, she helped him through difficult times with her love. First back to her father to help him out of the bondage of the body, for the father of the deep into his mind is not on a regular basis the suffering of the memory, only she can the fastest, the most gentle comfort living fathers uncertain heart, this is a helpless old friends lowry. There is to testify in court, she fairly with affection, "in the face of such compassion, so moving youth and beauty, at this time the mood of the defendant, than face all the people watching more uncomfortable." And so on, and so forth; When she finally kissed her husband, she stuck to it, as strong as anyone who faced tragedy. She was still a bit of a backer, but she was the embodiment of love.
She said that her father had to be mentioned. Alexander manettes life is worth considering, how much injustice, how much experience, how much trauma, all make us think. After being cared for by his daughter, he was equally able to give back to his daughter. He finally showed the story of a father who cared about his daughter with love. Likewise, I think he has his great misfortune. It, life is very rough, and eventually to really bring happiness for the daughter, relapse, full house for his work, is at this time, he felt old and helpless. One tragedy leads to another.
For darnay, the man, in general, pursued his mothers philosophy and "set off a series of events" (which is not a repudiation of him). He was also a kind man, and because of this he went back to his family and he was in trouble. This is also the result of a complex set of causes.
One of the most legendary and tearful is Sidney carton. The appearance of "always looking at the ceiling" shows his dissolute, and later we find out that he is really an annihilated talent, who is unable to dissolve into the society at that time. Inner feelings also very noble, is ultimately fulfilled the rival in love (lets just say so, but they havent think they really like the story of the relationship between the bucket over, well, here also see his calm, may be installed? If it is, it means he has a lot of talent. Thats an admirable person. He didnt care what he did when he escaped, but he was the only one who knew what to do and what not to do. The death of darnay and his wife, in memory of his death is a matter of god! Finally he met in his sisters, on the execution ground, comfort, encouragement, his sister, is a look at all the detachment of life, the novel also wrote "that night, the city of Paris about him, say on the calendar year, Laura pavilion the most calm. Many also say that he has a holy face, like a prophets prophet. The character of the book is very exciting, such as in going to jail for up to jailbreak before and after Mr Lowry confessed, "caton into the yard, there alone for a moment, looked up at her house lights. He blessed him softly and said, goodbye forever, and vanished into the darkness. While I was reading this, I was vaguely aware that something was wrong, but I could not think of anything that would change because of the fact that he had told him to wait for him. This sentence is a little sad, want to make a person cry but not let a person cry out of taste. This is the description of cartons heart, beneath the surface of the light, the heart of a man who is devoted to the love of others.
The villain, especially madame Defarge, can be said to be an old man of revenge under the guise of the people. Her most common movement was knitting, without saying a word, but everything was in her heart, and she remembered it on her knitting. People like this have a feeling of fear of her, a cold, unhuman embodiment. The Jacques three around them, the vengeful woman, and so on, were all in a state of confusion, only to feel the pleasure of cutting off the heads of others. They did not, at all, have the same kind of consciousness as madame DE senor, but the desecration of life, from their messy appearance and corrupt manners. He wanted to overthrow the king, but there was a certain amount of affection for the old master he had served before. His wife said to her, her husband, "honest want to save the doctor a" visible, hair, still can hardly is neutral, but it forced him to host a begin, he is living in the contradiction, may be affected by his revenge heart strong wife.
Suspense, the novel is full, it is the more see more understand, like a stream seriatim together, finally became a great river pentium, make a person more see more exciting, more want to see. For example, the most prominent is the second chapter 6 "hundreds of people" and chapter 7, "marquis master in the city" has nothing to do, if the chapter 7, alone can also be a novel. Until later see that he is to reach in life, then saw Lucy, then saw his relationship to the old physician, and finally with the doctors letter, complex relationships take in everything in a glance, to expound characters relations, has a good supporting role. Undoubtedly, the last two chapters are the climax, the most exciting part. The last brother and sister were more than I had imagined, and the authors arrangement clearly highlighted carton, who was a symbol of justice. Now, calm down and think about why all the siblings are locked inside. I think the most fundamental reason is that this revolution in the authors eye itself is chaotic, there is no human rights, crazy people just follow their own will, that ultimately leads to tragedy.
After all, this work is a good and evil confrontation, the victory of good, an exciting end. Let us ponder whether the revenge is worth doing, but the revenge of madame DE sendai is not made in a day, in response to the dead brother, sister, and father; It is the brand of class struggle that inevitably forms the concept of revenge and makes her cold character. At the end of the day, there is a certain responsibility for all aspects, and the social environment is an inseparable factor.
Generally speaking, this is a very good novel.
双城记英文读后感 篇14
Recently I read a novel called A Tale of Two Cities. The novel is based on the French Revolution. It was 1775,both England and France were on the verge of Revolution .Englands king ,George Ⅲ,was having trouble with his American colonies .And France s king ,LouisⅩⅥ, was too concerned with his own wealth to worry about his people .
Therefore, neither king noticed the changes taking place in his country .They didnt realize ,or care ,that the peasants were hungry and unhappy .They never thought that anything was wrong with the way things were .They were wealthy ,and they thought only of themselves.
But the peasants were tired of being treated unfairly. They were tired of watching the kings waste money while their own children starved. So, in both London and Paris, the lower classes prepared to revolt .They were ready to force the kings to make a change.
Then one day in July of 1789, the Revolution began in France .Armed peasants ran through the streets of Saint Antoine .Their leader, Ernest Defarge continued to pass out weapons. The men cheered and waved their weapons in the air .Then, they marched toward the Bastille.
The novel also talks the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton., who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a romantic French aristocrat, his uncle is the Marquis St.
Evremonde. The Marquis is infamous for his cruelty. While is a cynical English barrister. However, the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette.
Charles Darnay is not cruel like his uncle has been. When he knew his servant is in danger, he went to France at once to defend him. He had promised his mother that he would help the peasants. He had a hard time traveling through France. When he finally reached Paris, he was taken prisoner. In my point of view, Charles Darnay is innocent, he is not cruel.
The other one is Sydney Carton.
In my opinion, he is a wonderful man. He once said,‘I am not worthy of your love, but I want you to know that I wish for your happiness. I hope that we will able to remain close friends. Miss Manette, I would give my life for you. Never forget that, Lucie.’ Eventually, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place. Because Charles Darnay is Lucie’s husband, and they led a happy life. In order to help Lucie live a enjoyable life, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place.
From the novel A tale of two cities .I learn much ,not only the Revolution in two different cities ,but also the deep relationship between people .Im impressed by Mr. Manettes tough spirit ,never give in to difficulties .Even though he had been imprisoned a long time ,he struggled to live. He was also an upright man .When his son -in -law was arrested by the Revolutionists, Dr.Manette strongly defended Charles Darnay ,hoped that the Revolutionists could release Charles Darnay .
Lucie Manette gives me a deep impression .At the beginning of the novel, I learn that her father had passed, but then,Mr. Lorry told her that her father was still alive. Because Lucie s father was imprisoned for a long time .Her mother begged the king to help her ,but he gave no reply .She suffered terribly when her husband disappeared ,so she told her daughter that her father had died .But she never stopped looking for Lucies father .The king was of no help ,and she never found even one clue .Two years after his disappearance ,she died .
I am deeply impressed by the other characters in the novel.
Mr.Lorry is also a good man ,at the first of the novel ,when he met Miss Lucie ,and told her that her father was still alive .Besides ,he helped her
to find her father in Paris .On the way to Paris ,they experienced many difficulties .But Mr.Lorry didnt give up helping Miss Lucie and Lucie s father .As far as I concerned ,it not only show his hospitality but also show his hatred to the European royal.
In Paris, the Marquis St. Evrémonde, Darnays uncle, is returning from an audience with Monseigneur, one of the greatest lords in France, when his coach runs over and kills the son of the peasant Gaspard; he throws a coin to Gaspard to compensate him for his loss; in the assembled crowd is the implacable tricoteuse, Madame Defarge. He throws the money back, enraging the Marquis and leading him to exclaim that he would willingly kill any of the peasants of France.
If I were a peasant at that time in England or France,I would join in the revolution with no hesitation .All man are equal .The king of country should concern his people whether they are starving or homeless .We can learn much from history in our country or in other countries ,only when the leader of the country cares much about his peoples life can the country be stronger .People are the base of the country ,without people ,country can not be stronger and can not develop.
双城记英文读后感 篇15
As we all know, Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities is a novel based on the French Revolution in the late 1800s. In that terrible time, every moment was full of great fear. Before that great revolution, the common people, especially the peasants, were poor, hungry and unhappy. The king and the noble men maltreated the poor in many ways but they had never felt a little ashamed, on the contrary they thought they could do bad things in the nature of things.
As an outstanding writer, in Dickenss work, the language skill is essential. Each kind of rhetoric technique, like the analogy, the exaggeration, the contrast, the humorous, and the taunt are handled skillfully and the artistry of the work is also delivered the peak. A tale of two cities has its difference with the general historical novel, its character and the main plot are all fictionalizes. With the broad real background of the French Revolution, the author take the fictional character Doctor Nanette’s experience as the main clue, interweaves the unjust charge, love and revenge three independences but also incident cross-correlation stories together, and the clue is complex. The author use narrates, foreshadowing, upholstery and so many techniques, causes the structure integrity and strictness, the plot winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature, it displayed the remarkable artistic skill. The style A tale of two cities is solemnity and melancholy, fills indignation, but lacks the humor of the early works.
Besides, this novel criticizes the violence and oppression in the society. In this novel, the author not only expresses his humanitarianism on the love between human beings, but also expresses his view according to his critics to the violence and oppression in that society. The author expresses his opinion on two parts. First, he criticizes the aristocrats, esp. the representative Marquis of Evremonde. Second, he also criticizes the revolutionaries in the French Revolution. However, when we see from the description of the couple, the author does not think high of the revolution. When the revolutionaries begin their revenge, the author describes that everyone is terrible, the man is terrible, the woman crazy, and there is not a human creature at that time. We can see although the author does not show his agreement to the aristocrats’ cruelty, he does not like the bloody revolution, either.
What is more, this novel advocates the Christian love and self-sacrifice. Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities is essentially a tale of love, sacrifice, and, most importantly, resurrection. Dr. Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton, all desperate men leading catastrophic lives, make great sacrifices in order to attain true physical, spiritual, and societal resurrection for themselves and the ones they love. In this novel, the author portrays some typical characters that embody the author’s view. First, he portrays some kind, upright and humane persons, such as Dr. Manette, Lucie Manette, Mr. Lorry, etc. But at the same time, he also portrays some cruel and ferocious persons, such as the Marquis of Evremonde Brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Defarge. He uses these characters to make a contrast, which clearly expresses his view. In short, what he was trying to express is that everyone can love each other and sacrifice for others. So Sydney Carton is the supreme embodiment of Charles Dickens’ humanitarianism.
Ultimately, A Tale of Two Cities is essentially a tale of love, sacrifice, and most importantly, resurrection. Through personal sacrifices or sacrifices for those who they loved, it shows the human’s virtue and integrity. By struggling for, hunting for, and sacrificing for a better life, all of the main characters are forever resurrected in the hearts of those they love forever.
Overall, Charles Dickens is a humanitarian. And according to the analysis of the characters in A Tales of Two Cities, we can see that the author advocates the universal love and equality between human beings. And this is the basic element in a peaceful and harmonious society. Everyone should love people and only the humanitarianism can improve this situation. And A Tale of Two Cities is the best work, which embodies his humanitarianism. So that we can see that Charles Dickens is an outstanding humanitarian of the capitalistic reformism in the 19th century.
双城记英文读后感 篇16
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
Charles Dickens(1812～1870)，one of the greatest novelist in England. I have read his A tale of two cities .And this is the beginning of the book.
“A Tale of Two Cities”, one of Dickens’ works, is a well-known long story. And it has a great influence on the society at that time. When I saw the title at first, I thought it might tell something about the developing process of two cities, which might be no fun. However, after reading it , I found I had been wrong.
It portrays a brutal, bloody and revengeful society as well as love and friendship. It happened before and after the Revolution in France. The ruthless and cruel landowners and noblemen exploited the miserable people who owned nothing, but these poor people worked for others day and night. Noblemen had the power that one word would doubtlessly send others to prison. As time passed by, the noise of the coming-up revolution storm in Paris was growing louder and louder. At last, it was on the fourteenth of July, 1789 that the revolution broke out.
“The Bastille and its officers were in the hands of people, and the people wanted revenge and blood.” The true Freedom of France came. “The Guillotine, the new machine of death, cut off the heads of many, many people—not only the powerful and the cruel, but also the beautiful, the innocent, and the good.” Among the good, there was a man called Darney. Even though his father, wife and friends knew he was innocent, the people thought he was the enemy and would go to the Guillotine.
In spite of a shadow of fear and hate here and there, we can also see the great and kind persons. I think the greatest person is Mr. Manette who had been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years. What he suffered was difficult to imagine, but he was still kind and loved his daughter. He did his best to save his son-in-law, whose father and uncle were the men that had ever sent him to prison. Another great man is the lawyer, Sydney Carton, a friend of Darney. Before Darney went to Guillotine, Mr. Carton changed places with him and he said, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever know.” Besides, the story is full of love, including the love between father and daughter, the love between husband and wife, the love among friends and so on. In short, only if you have love in your heart, the life is meaningful. At the same time, the revenge will run away with you, freedom and happiness will be around you.
There is no doubt that Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers
in English. From this book, I see some true lives and moving stories from the old ages. I think you must feel the same as me that we don’t want to live in that condition. To be frank, we all look forward to living in a peaceful and love situation. Though the present life has improved a lot, there are still wars in some places. All that we need is to solve the problems in peaceful ways instead of by force. So let’s work hard together in order to make our life much more meaningful and happier, make our society more harmonious.
