I'm up to chapter 7 in Book Three of A Tale of Two Cities. Charles Darnay is back and better than before. While reading the last chapters of Book Two, you'll notice that Darnay is probably the most important character in the book. Darnay is important because of his family roots. There is a revolution going on and Darnay doesn't know which side to choose. Its either he sides with his family or the "peasants." But this isn't the only thing going on in A Tale of Two Cities.
Darnay has come back to Paris and as far as he and everybody else is concerned, a lot has changed. Darnay left after his Uncle died, he couldn't face controlling Paris. Something inside of Darnay just wouldn't allow him to do such a thing. He was sort of against all the revolutionist, but he had sympathy for them. Darnay could understand the problems of the people, but he knew that if he sided with them he wouldn't have anybody to turn to. What "peasant" revolutionist would willingly take in the nephew of the ruler they're trying to over throw. Therein lies Darnay's problem, what can he do? What should he do? Well I plan on finding out.
