Charles D had so much faith in Humanitarianism that he did a lot to support the needy and encouraged others to believe in Humanitarianism and to use it to address social problems.
Explanation:
- Charles D had so much faith in Humanitarianism. He depicted various types of characters in the novel A Tale of Two Towns, with different intentions to encourage people to be compassionate and forgiving and he demonstrated in this novel his humanitarianism.
- One of the charcaters, Darnay was the perfect leader in the writer's heart as a rogue(rebel) among nobles. His qualities were so many, with gentleness, honesty, dignity and politeness. He dedicatedly fell in love with Lucy, but did not force on her his own feelings. He was able to wait patiently until Lucy had the same love for herself, and then she opened her eyes. He felt confounded at the past sins of his father and hated his unreasonable and imperious uncle Evremonde. He declined to take control of inherited lands, but he gave up enjoying honorable and leisure life.
- Darnay took the opportunity to go back to his country to save the vulnerable prisoner in order to promote benevolence and humanitarianism. He fell in trap and was unfortunately doomed to death. During that time, it was not the health of his wife and his child that he cared about. It is the picture of the ideal young people in the imagination of Charles D. In his view, Darnay was respected and full of humanitarianism for his resistance and his love for the people. Darnay thus had a happier ending in the book. Carton was able to repalce him when he was sent to the guillotine to be done by the rebels and he was eventually moved back to London.
- Another character Lucy, a small paternalistic bourgeois, was a bond that held the family together. She was sadly targeted by the Evremonde family, as was Madame Defarge's. The difference was that she was not vengeance like Madame Defarge on the bourgeoisie. It became clear that she was a love link between the two families. It said love washed hate away.
- Lucy was a wife of love and a mother of love as well. So much she loved her husband that she left her cozy and peaceful house in England for the messy, hideous Paris as she knew he was in danger. Lucy loved every person and all the people around her, especially her family. When she was called to give evidence at Darnay's trial, she was full of sympathy and concern. Even at that time Darnay was just a stranger met by chance. She also burst into tears as she had to say something that might testify against Darnay. The way she treated a stranger reflects her compassion and humanity. She was so compassionate to Carton when she shared her affection and she was able to support him sincerely and even shed tears of sincerity.
- Carton, a young English lawyer, was a strange man of complex characters. He was in close touch with the family of Lucy. Keeping in mind that his future was somber and that there had been no living space for him, he felt he had been degenerated and unable to change for a long time after he fell in love with Lucy. From his point of view, Lucy could not afford joy. He deprived himself of his right to love Lucy and retreated from the race of life. He finally fulfilled his promise-going on the guillotine instead of Intel for the happiness of Lucy’s family. He saved 4 innocent people's lives. That is how he conveyed Lucy's deep affection. That was the highest expression of the humanitarian ideal.
- A deep sense of justice was in Manette, the heart of the family. He had the confidence to expose the actions of Evremonde's family. Although he was 18 years stuck in Figure Circle, he still saw his belief as humanitarian. He despised the brother of the Marquis tremendously. But when he learned that Darnay was a descendent of the Marquesas, his daughter Lucy loved them so much, his pain in the heart was so great that it was unimaginable for ordinary people.
- He was also really sad at the wedding of Lucy and Dannay, but he prevailed over his feelings. Yet it is evident that that he desperately suppressed his personal grudges which reached the farthest point and plunged into schizophrenia. Manette eventually got his best and welcomed the offspring of the enemy, who was indebted to his love for everyone. He was also identified by the author as a saint living among people. He viewed everyone in the same manner regardless of whether he was a friend or an enemy. He did operations quietly and professionally on anybody who needed him, whoever he was, a murderer or a jail survivor. Manette was a good representation of love the author characterized careful. He was a humanist example. The author tried to remind people that forgiveness and compassion are the assurance of peace and happiness.
