Answer:
Charles Dickens' ''A Tale of Two Cities'', the character of Gaspard represents the powerlessness of the common people when his son is thoughtlessly killed by the Marquis. He takes his revenge, but pays the price for it.
The Powerless Peasant
Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, published in 1859, tells of the conditions that led to the French Revolution in the last decades of the 18th century. In the French Revolution, the common peasants, after years of exploitation by the rich aristocrats, rise up to seize power and take revenge.
The moral corruption of some French aristocrats is represented in the novel by the character of the Marquis St. Evremonde. When we are first introduced to him, the Marquis thoughtlessly runs down and kills a child while speeding his coach through the streets of Paris and gives a coin to the boy's father as payment.
The boy's father, Gaspard, represents the powerlessness of French peasants in the time before the revolution. With no legal recourse for his dead son, Gaspard takes justice into his own hands, and pays the price for it.
Role in the Novel
We first meet Gaspard in Book 2, Chapter 7 of A Tale of Two Cities. In this chapter, we are introduced to the Marquis St. Evremonde and learn what a horrible person he is. The chapter culminates when the Marquis, speeding his coach through the streets of Paris with no regard for the people around him, runs down and kills a child. The Marquis tosses a coin to the boy's father, Gaspard, as payment, but Gaspard tosses the coin back in anger. A little while later, in Chapter 9, the Marquis is found with a knife through his chest at his country estate.
In Chapter 15, we learn what happened. It has been a year since the murder of the Marquis. The mender of roads who lives near the Marquis' country estate meets with Defarge and other leaders of the revolution and tells them what happened to Gaspard. Gaspard had managed to hide for nearly a year before being captured. Many of the townspeople protest his arrest and planned execution, but he is hanged anyway, and his body is left in the middle of town for several days a reminder to everyone else
