Question

Significance of the two cities in A tale of two cities

Answer 1

Answer:

The slow, patient, silent process of knitting symbolizes the hatred that is building up among the French people and will ultimately be released in one of the most violent and dramatic explosions in human history. Most of the people whose names are being recorded in Madame Defarge's knitting will end up under the infamous guillotine, a towering device which is itself a supreme symbol of the French Revolution. There were so many people being decapitated that the executioners needed a machine to keep up with the work.The guillotine is a horrible tool and seems to represent the horrors of the revolution and especially of the so-called Reign of Terror.
