Question

Describe the significance of the two cities in A tale of two cities? ​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{Answer}$

The title A Tale of Two Cities is literally true as the plot involves action in both London and Paris. However, it is also significant with respect to the motif of dualities in people and in action.

Introducing the motif of dualities, the title of Charles Dickens' historical novel contains the narrative of two families during the French Revolution. There are events that occur involving these two families in both London and Paris; there are different identities of characters in each of the two cities, and there are social conditions that are similar in both of the two capital cities of England and France. In addition, subplots integrate with the main plot in intriguing ways by the end of the narrative, so, in a sense, there are more dualities.

Answer 2

Answer:

A Tale of Two Cities is told from the omniscient, or all-knowing, point of view. The narrator, or storyteller, who is never identified, has access to the thoughts and feelings of all the characters.

A Tale of Two Cities, which is one of two historical novels written by Charles Dickens, is set in London and in Paris and the French countryside at the time of the French Revolution. The book is sympathetic to the overthrow of the French aristocracy but highly critical of the reign of terror that followed.

Dickens characterizes the men and women who populate A Tale of Two Cities less by what the book's narrator or the characters themselves say, and more by what they do. As a result, the novel seems somewhat modern, despite being set in the 18th century and written in the 19th century.
