Courtney Rausch Period 6th May 23rd 2012 Mr. Blair Lit/Comp Chapter 13: Carton asks Lucie to never forget him, to always remember hi as the person that has saved her children and her children’s children. He says this because he know that Madame Defarge is going to come after her and kill her and her children. He also tell her that he would sacrifice himself for her, and he was hoping to go talk to her that night and to know that she is the only person that cares was sad for him to know. It was sad because they have a “mother to son” bond not a “wife to husband” bond. She loved him unconditionally like a mother would do to a child.

Defarge wants justice and fairness in France he also wants everyone to be of equality and so he fights for the right of man and women in the common esates later in the book. “ It is bad weather gentlemen,” this means that Gaspard has been killed and this is going to be the start of the French revolution. People need to begin to work together and to not be against each other. The defarges take the road mender to the kind and queen to try to prove that Gaspard wasn’t the one that had committed the crime and that he should not be in any way guilty of what has been done. The road mender says, “ Tall as a spectre” that quote gave away Gaspard’s life. The road mender thought he was doing a good thing but giving out a generalization, but the Marquis knew who it was.

He then goes on to say that “the dark part of my life would have cast its shadow beyond myself, and would have fallen on you’ (190). Dr. Manette is saying that 105 North Tower would have made her have evil seeds inside of her if she would have not met Charles Darnay. He feels that now she is old enough to know the truth on why he becomes 105 North Tower. Lucie’s main concern in this chapter was that Dr. Manette was going to relapse into making shoes again. She would do anything she could to have him be recovered from those things, she walked with him up and down the path way. Lucie would also hold him and caress him and tell him, that he is the best thing that has every happened to her. “ His collected and calm manner could not prevent her blood from running cold, as thus tried to anatomise his old condition” (191).
