_A tale of two cities_ is hailed as the most outstanding representative of the French revolution, and I think the biggest reason may be because it is different. Unlike other works, such as Carlisles _the French revolution_, dickens was more concerned with the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom. In those days, though, the little figures themselves did not draw the worlds attention. But the authors keen capture of these little figures and the great revolution is inextricably linked, and arguably the French revolution itself was inspired by the power of the little people.
The French revolution was a mark of blood in human history. In that chaotic era, full of uncertainty; In such a state of disorder, all human nature is revealed. A tale of two cities by the French revolution as the background, through to race hatred between civilians and conflict, the author want to convey the dickens -- - unable to wash away hatred, blood cannot replace love -- - more aristocratic tyranny to civilians caused pain will not heal, because blood civilians to hatred cannot replace love for lost relatives. In the story, Dr Menet was freed from prison to live with his daughter in London.
Five years later, they testified in court for the French youth, Charles Darnay, who married darnay in love. In 1792, the French revolution broke out and the scene moved to France. Darnay, who had been arrested and sentenced to death for being a descendant of the aristocracy, had been in love with Lucys English youth, Sidney, at the critical moment. Carton took the guillotine for him. Carden is one of the most attractive and complex characters in the book. Decadent, negative, at school, he only writes homework for classmates; After society, even with all the talent, it still chose to work for another lawyer. But beneath his cold exterior, there was a deep tenderness.
With this a welcome tenderness and love for Lucy, cardan made a significant decision - - instead of the guillotine dyer that -- - with his own life in exchange for another persons life, in return for a familys happiness and smile. It was the act of carden guarding Lucy, sacrificing for love, how noble it was in that great age, even in modern times! Compared with the tenderness and love of the representative, Mrs. Dofstone was a symbol of bloodshed and bloodshed. The death of a loved one in the hands of darnays father and uncle, she lived for a lifetime of hatred; For the death of darnays family, he had no need of it, and at last he was killed by a fire. The bloodlust of Mrs. Dauphin was a terrible shock, but it also made people sigh the power of hate, and make the woman who should be happy and happy to be the Nemesis. At the end of the eighteenth century, France was burned into asurra hell by this perverse and vengeful flame. Lessons and meanings cannot be forgotten by the years. If we cant get something out of it, the same tragedy will happen again. Two hundred years later, we hope that we can create a new century of true equality, freedom and fraternity in this generation.

双城记英文读后感 第3篇
Recently I read a novel called A Tale of Two Cities. The novel is based on the French Revolution. It was 1775,both England and France were on the verge of Revolution .Englands king ,George Ⅲ,was having trouble with his American colonies .And France s king ,LouisⅩⅥ, was too concerned with his own wealth to worry about his people .
Therefore, neither king noticed the changes taking place in his country .They didnt realize ,or care ,that the peasants were hungry and unhappy .They never thought that anything was wrong with the way things were .They were wealthy ,and they thought only of themselves.
But the peasants were tired of being treated unfairly. They were tired of watching the kings waste money while their own children starved. So, in both London and Paris, the lower classes prepared to revolt .They were ready to force the kings to make a change.
Then one day in July of 1789, the Revolution began in France .Armed peasants ran through the streets of Saint Antoine .Their leader, Ernest Defarge continued to pass out weapons. The men cheered and waved their weapons in the air .Then, they marched toward the Bastille.
The novel also talks the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton., who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a romantic French aristocrat, his uncle is the Marquis St.
Evremonde. The Marquis is infamous for his cruelty. While is a cynical English barrister. However, the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette.
Charles Darnay is not cruel like his uncle has been. When he knew his servant is in danger, he went to France at once to defend him. He had promised his mother that he would help the peasants. He had a hard time traveling through France. When he finally reached Paris, he was taken prisoner. In my point of view, Charles Darnay is innocent, he is not cruel.
The other one is Sydney Carton.
In my opinion, he is a wonderful man. He once said,‘I am not worthy of your love, but I want you to know that I wish for your happiness. I hope that we will able to remain close friends. Miss Manette, I would give my life for you. Never forget that, Lucie.’ Eventually, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place. Because Charles Darnay is Lucie’s husband, and they led a happy life. In order to help Lucie live a enjoyable life, he was to die in Charles Darnay’s place.
From the novel A tale of two cities .I learn much ,not only the Revolution in two different cities ,but also the deep relationship between people .Im impressed by Mr. Manettes tough spirit ,never give in to difficulties .Even though he had been imprisoned a long time ,he struggled to live. He was also an upright man .When his son -in -law was arrested by the Revolutionists, strongly defended Charles Darnay ,hoped that the Revolutionists could release Charles Darnay .
Lucie Manette gives me a deep impression .At the beginning of the novel, I learn that her father had passed, but then,Mr. Lorry told her that her father was still alive. Because Lucie s father was imprisoned for a long time .Her mother begged the king to help her ,but he gave no reply .She suffered terribly when her husband disappeared ,so she told her daughter that her father had died .But she never stopped looking for Lucies father .The king was of no help ,and she never found even one clue .Two years after his disappearance ,she died .
I am deeply impressed by the other characters in the novel.
is also a good man ,at the first of the novel ,when he met Miss Lucie ,and told her that her father was still alive .Besides ,he helped her
to find her father in Paris .On the way to Paris ,they experienced many difficulties .But didnt give up helping Miss Lucie and Lucie s father .As far as I concerned ,it not only show his hospitality but also show his hatred to the European royal.
In Paris, the Marquis St. Evrémonde, Darnays uncle, is returning from an audience with Monseigneur, one of the greatest lords in France, when his coach runs over and kills the son of the peasant Gaspard; he throws a coin to Gaspard to compensate him for his loss; in the assembled crowd is the implacable tricoteuse, Madame Defarge. He throws the money back, enraging the Marquis and leading him to exclaim that he would willingly kill any of the peasants of France.
If I were a peasant at that time in England or France,I would join in the revolution with no hesitation .All man are equal .The king of country should concern his people whether they are starving or homeless .We can learn much from history in our country or in other countries ,only when the leader of the country cares much about his peoples life can the country be stronger .People are the base of the country ,without people ,country can not be stronger and can not develop.
双城记英文读后感 第4篇
Crazily, but truthfully, I finished reading the most part of the novel _A Tale of Two Cities_ in just one day. Lost in the story, I felt like being together with the characters and experiencing the same exciting events. Soon it came to an end. To tell you my feelings, its infinite sadness and a strong emotion that can drive me to cry.
The story is set in London and Paris at the time of the great French Revolution. It shows the causes of revolution and its effects on peoples day-to-day lives. Before the revolution, the King and the aristocracy treated their people cruelly in France. The common people were extremely poor and miserable. The crops in the fields were poor as if even the land shared the misery of the people. And there were so heavy taxes that all the villagers had nothing to hand over at last. On the other hand, the aristocracy made their will as the law by using money and gold. There were no justice, no equality and no fairness. Just as what happened to Dr Manette,he wrote to the Minister to show the crime what Marquis Evremonde had done, resulting in himself being arrested and sent to the prison Bastille without any reason.
Then this situation of darkness was needed to be changed. As people such as the Defarges prepared and arranged, at length the Revolution came to break out. When the Bastille was captured and the King was tried and put to death as well as many other aristocrats, things didnt go on as what they had been expected. The situation stayed the same, or even worse. The prisoners from the Bastille were set free while more prisons were filled with people who had done no wrong again. People who once lived on the bottom of class took the charge now and their heart had been full of evil. The only thing they wanted to do was to revenge. And these so-called _patriots_ would like to see more and more innocent prisoners going to the guillotine and thats their joy. As the novel wrote,” In everything they did were merciless, for they had been hardened in the fires of suffering and the touch of pity could make no mark on them_.
Equality and fairness is what people seek,which led to the French a consequence,neither equality nor fairness was got after the thats the tragedy of the was heavyhearted when reading what Sydney Carton said before death and I burst into tears finally.
双城记英文读后感 第5篇
A tale of two cities is one of dickens's most important representative works. Long before writing a tale of two cities, dickens is very concern on the French revolution, reread the British historian, Carlyle's _French revolution_ and other scholar's related works. His strong interest of the French revolution began in the British lurking at the time the concerns of the serious social cr****. At the end of 1854, he said: _I believe that dissatisfaction like smoke fire up worse than, this special like the public before the French revolution for the first time, it's danger, for one thousand kinds of reasons, such as poor harvest, the nobility of bossy and incompetent the already tense situation last to defeat in war, overseas and domestic events and so on -- into that have never seen a terrible fire._ Visible, a tale of two cities of the historical novel creation motive sees, in the history of the French revolution experience for reference, to the bell of the ruling class; At the same time, through the extreme portrayal of the revolutionary terrorist, also to harbor resentment, attempting to violence against the tyranny of the masses, warned that fantasy for the status quo of social contradictions increasingly deepen to find a way out.
Starting from this purpose, the novel profoundly revealed before the French revolution dee* intensified the social contradictions, strongly criticized aristocracy dissolute brutal, and deep sympathy for the lower people's suffering. Work pointedly said, the people's patience is limited, under the cruel rule of the noble class, the people under the livelihood, is bound to fight. This kind of resistance is justice. Novel in people's uprising against the bastille, etc, was also depicted spectacular scenes, shows the great power of the people. However, author station on the bourgeois humanitarian grounds, namely against brutal tyranny which oppressed the people, people also objected to revolt against the tyranny of the violence. In Charles Dickens, the revolution is portrayed as a great disaster of destruction, it ruthlessly punish evil gentry class, also kill innocent people blindly.
The novel created three types of characters. Category is urban Mr Monte marquis brother as a representative of the feudal aristocracy, they only unshakable philosophy is _oppression_, is the author of pain and flay object. Another kind is to cut stone couples, such as the revolutionary masses. It must be pointed out that their image is distorted. Such as cutting stone wife, Diana, she was born in peasant, insulted, persecution of the feudal nobles with great hatred, the author dee* sympathize with her misery, really appreciated her strong personality, before and after the revolution, excellent talents and extraordinary leadership ability; But when revolution is further thorough, a pen and put her as a ruthless, fierce, narrow avenger. Especially when her to the doctor house raids dasey, _and the path is characterized by more bloodthirsty men. Finally, the author let her die under his muzzle, makes it clear that the negative attitude. The third kind is ideal character, the author thinks to humanitarian resolving social contradictions, in order to love overcome hatred, including speech, father and daughter, darnay, unquestioned and Carl's, etc. Meini, the doctor is marquis brother may have caused the destruction of the marquis brother with great hatred, but for the sake of her daughter's love, can abandon the old feud hate; Darnay is marquis brother's sons and nephews, his big end, condemn the sin of his family abandoned the rank of nobility and property, are determined to _sin_ with their own actions. This to reflect the character of each other, one is the victim of the aristocratic tyranny and tolerance for pregnant; One is the successor to the noble marquis, advocate benevolence. Among them, more as a daughter and wife _. Hold in the bond of love, they form a mutual understanding, emotion harmonious happy family. This is obviously the author thought a violent revolution and the opposite way out of resolving social contradictions, is unrealistic.
A tale of two cities is different from general historical novel, its character and the main plot are imaginary. During the French revolution broad real background, the author clues to give priority to with fictional characters meini, doctor's experience, the unjust charge three independent each other, love and revenge and interconnected stories interweave together, intricate plot, intricate plot. The author take the flashbacks, interleave technique such as, stage, bedding, make the novel complete structure, tense and dramatic plot twists and turns, showed excellent artistic skills. A tale of two cities style solemn, depressed, etc, but the lack of humor early works.

He was born poor, but soon after his unhappy childhood he became rich and successful. He also wrote many famous novels, such as oliver twist. Great expectations and so on.
The tale of a tale of two cities was written in 1775. In a room above a tavern in Paris, there was a white-haired man who was busy making shoes. He had been a prisoner in the bastille for 18 years.

双城记英文读后感 第8篇
I believe that everyone who has seen a tale of two cities will be impressed by the shock. The book by dickens, a famous British writer, is immortal! Classic is classic, no matter how many years later, classics still sending out the bright luster, the ups and downs, whats more, the book story unimaginable a bizarre plot twists and turns, the master is the master, to make you know the story is fictional, but still as the story of the people and things, or moved, or anger, or sadness, or tears, dont you dont admire master ability of fiction.
Dickens in a tale of two cities revealed before the outbreak of the French revolution, the nobility of the ruthless oppression, depending on the masses of poor people mean dog, failure, and finally an outbreak of the French revolution, poor people after long-term brutal oppression, crazy revenge for the noble class, the same ruthless trial authority and the judgment of their lives, blood is blood, blinded by hate glasses, blood excited nerve, head to the ground, but vengeance will solve the problem? Can you live a happy life? This is the question dickens raised in his book. If the authorities have more compassion and more love for the people, so that everyone will not be oppressed, or the revolution will not break out, we must know that the working peoples demands on society are very low and low! The revolution should be a warning to those in power. Worth fortunately, in the 20th century, we this s our authorities, whether China, wen jiabao, or Mr Obama in the United States, they are put forward for all to common prosperity, let everyone enjoy the fruit of social and economic development, they think that favor the rich society not only moral, also a serious threat to social stability.
Love and tolerance is the good idea, because saw a pair of noble brother destroyed the crimes of a poor family, was framed in the bastille 18 years of doctor, doctor angry in prison, he secretly recorded the persecuted, vowed to heaven and earth, accused of aristocrats and their children and grandchildren, until the last one, in the years of imprisonment, the doctor lost his head, do the shoes has become the only sustenance to sustain life. After his release from prison, his father returned to his senses with his daughters deep love for his father. With great love and tolerance, he agreed to the marriage of his daughter.
When with a picture of the ceiling look up court appearance of Mr. Carlton, gives the impression of how unruly and arrogant, although he talented, although he has a heart of precious, but because of the darkness of the society, he chose the debauchery, chose the cynicism, chose the ceremony, Carlton love Lucy how pure and selfless, he chose when Lucy happiness silently blessing, secretly guardian beside her, when Lucy need a bailout, he chose to his own life in exchange for Lucy her husbands life, to ensure the happiness of Lucy, although I do not believe that the world really can have such feelings, but I still deep compassion, pity, Carlton, great respect for his feelings, hope all tender belong to him, to comfort his wounded heart.
The children who were persecuted by the aristocrats, the hatred of the heart, the revenge became the knife axe, the symbol of the vengeance, the death of the goddess of vengeance is not a metaphor for the price of revenge?
Hatred, tolerance, love! This all let us deeply ponder introspection! Carltons words are supposed to be all the best footnote: this age of sin, and bring forth the previous era of nature of sin to offset by themselves, and gradually disappeared, a beautiful peace loving era will be born!
After reading the story, do you still have jingling shoes in your mind? Still in the doctors gloom, sad helplessness and tears of anger? Still in tears for carton? Still sighing for madame Defarge? I think you must be in the doctor family finally happy peace and silent blessing!

双城记英文读后感 第10篇
The tale of two cities is a historical story, one of Dickens’ long background to the novel is the revolution of France .It portrayed a brutal and bloody story , but it also contained love and friendship.
In the novel, Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman-marquis of Evermonde . When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family .What’s worse , he used his power to imprison Dr Manette , a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes . In order to hide their crimes. Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years . During these 18 years,Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit .
I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. Because their nature was cruel and evil, like demons. There is an old saying which means: People who commit too many crimes will kill themselves. After all, there is justice in the world. The demons can’t be rampant forever. Because the world will not forgive them. They will pay their lives for their crimes. Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis,’’He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.
The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s ()resistance to the nobleman. Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down . However, some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde. To the opposite of his uncle, Darney was a kind and independent young man.
Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison. It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. During this time, Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton, the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time . At last, Lucie married Chares Darney .Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. This is the love between father and daughter. And Sydeny Carton , the very great man ,loved Lucie deeply. He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. He did it truely ,he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him. This is love for lovers . This is the most wonderful thing in the world. It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. At the end , Lucie, Dr Manette and Darney arrived in England safely.
The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France. The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main plots are complicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is complete and rigorous.
Dickens had dear love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators. But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

双城记英文读后感 第12篇
Today, I finally read the book of two cities by the British writer Charles Dickens. After reading this book, I was in a long mood.
Novels in the 18th century French revolution as the background, the story will be in Paris, London, link up the two big cities, a narrative horse nate doctor is full of love and adventure, interspersed with the nobles cruelty, peoples anger, trial spy... It mainly reveals the social order of the British and French in that period, and the life of the nobles and the ordinary people.
The book focuses on the fact that poor Dr Manette, who had been imprisoned in the bastille for 19 years by the aristocracy, had his daughter taken to live in England. In court, the father and daughter met the French nobleman darley and the poor master carton. Later, manettes daughter Lucy and darley married, and after ten years of happy family life, caton also gave Lucy a promise to make Lucy happy.
The people living in poor and helpless, cold and hunger, the plight of poor sickness repeatedly, suffered oppression, their hearts a backlog of deep and deep hatred of nobility, finally triggered the French revolution to overthrow the regime, for freedom. After the outbreak of the French revolution, darley went to France to defend his innocent servant, but he was arrested for being a French aristocrat. And carton, in order to make the promise of lucies life happy, used him to be similar to darley, and, before he was sentenced to death, he replaced him with Dudley, and replaced him with the guillotine.
The dark ages have passed, the days of hope and light have come, and the darkness is terrible! At first, the world belongs to the king, and later, the world belongs to the people. On July 13, 1789, the people stormed the bastille, where political prisoners were held; On January 21, 1793, the revolution brought king Louis xvi to the guillotine, which symbolized the end of feudal rule. On 20 February 1793, the first republic of France was established.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
Charles Dickens（1812～1870），one of the greatest novelist in England. I have read his A tale of two cities .And this is the beginning of the book.
“A Tale of Two Cities”, one of Dickens’ works, is a well-known long story. And it has a great influence on the society at that time. When I saw the title at first, I thought it might tell something about the developing process of two cities, which might be no fun. However, after reading it , I found I had been wrong.
It portrays a brutal, bloody and revengeful society as well as love and friendship. It happened before and after the Revolution in France. The ruthless and cruel landowners and noblemen exploited the miserable people who owned nothing, but these poor people worked for others day and night. Noblemen had the power that one word would doubtlessly send others to prison. As time passed by, the noise of the coming-up revolution storm in Paris was growing louder and louder. At last, it was on the fourteenth of July, 1789 that the revolution broke out.
“The Bastille and its officers were in the hands of people, and the people wanted revenge and blood.” The true Freedom of France came. “The Guillotine, the new machine of death, cut off the heads of many, many people—not only the powerful and the cruel, but also the beautiful, the innocent, and the good.” Among the good, there was a man called Darney. Even though his father, wife and friends knew he was innocent, the people thought he was the enemy and would go to the Guillotine.
In spite of a shadow of fear and hate here and there, we can also see the great and kind persons. I think the greatest person is Mr. Manette who had been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years. What he suffered was difficult to imagine, but he was still kind and loved his daughter. He did his best to save his son-in-law, whose father and uncle were the men that had ever sent him to prison. Another great man is the lawyer, Sydney Carton, a friend of Darney. Before Darney went to Guillotine, Mr. Carton changed places with him and he said, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever know.” Besides, the story is full of love, including the love between father and daughter, the love between husband and wife, the love among friends and so on. In short, only if you have love in your heart, the life is meaningful. At the same time, the revenge will run away with you, freedom and happiness will be around you.
There is no doubt that Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers
in English. From this book, I see some true lives and moving stories from the old ages. I think you must feel the same as me that we don’t want to live in that condition. To be frank, we all look forward to living in a peaceful and love situation. Though the present life has improved a lot, there are still wars in some places. All that we need is to solve the problems in peaceful ways instead of by force. So let’s work hard together in order to make our life much more meaningful and happier, make our society more harmonious.
双城记英文读后感 第14篇
The book of Shuangcheng is one of the most important works of Dickens. Long before the creation of the book of Shuangcheng, Dickens paid close attention to the French Revolution and studied the history of French Revolution by Carlile, a British historian, and other scholars. His keen interest in the French Revolution began with concerns about the serious social crisis lurking in Britain at the time. By the end of 1854, he said: _I believe that discontent smoke than fire like this up to much worse, particularly as the first revolution in France before the outbreak of the public psychology, which is dangerous, because the imperious and incompetence of hundreds of reasons - such as bad harvest, the nobility of the already tense situation the last step up, the loss of war overseas and domestic incidents -- that have never seen turned into a terrible fire._ Therefore, _Shuangcheng_ this historical novel creation motive is Jiegufengjin, to experience the history of the French Revolution for reference, and sounded the alarm to the British ruling class; at the same time, through the revolution about the extreme terror, also harbor resentment, hope to violence against the tyranny of the masses warned, find a way to fantasy social contradictions growing status of the uk.
For this purpose, the novel profoundly exposed before the French Revolution intensified the deep social contradictions, strongly criticized the nobility Huangyan brutal, and deeply sympathize with the suffering of the people of lower. The work pointed out sharply that there was a limit to the tolerance of the masses. Under the cruel rule of the aristocracy, the masses were forced to revolt against the necessity of subsistence. This resistance is just. The novel also depicts the spectacular scenes of the uprising, the people attacking the Bastille and the great strength of the people. However, the author stands on the humanitarian side of the bourgeoisie, that is, against the tyranny of cruel oppression of the people, and against the violence of the revolutionary people against tyranny. In Dickenss writing, the whole revolution was described as a great catastrophe that destroyed all things. It mercilessly punished the evil aristocracy, and killed innocent people blindly.
This novel shapes three kinds of characters. One is the Marquis efulimeng brothers as the representative of the feudal aristocracy, they _only unshakable philosophy is oppression_, is the author of pain and lashing the object. The other is getting the cutting stone couple and so on revolutionary masses. It must be pointed out that their image is distorted. For example, Defarges wife Diana, she was born in the humiliation, persecuted farmer, with a hatred of the feudal aristocracy, the author deeply sympathize with her plight, the revolution broke out after the admiration of her strong personality, outstanding talent and extraordinary leadership skills; but when the revolution further, Bi a turn her denigration as a cold, cruel, narrow avenger. Especially when she went to the doctors house to search for Lucie and little Lucie, she was shown to be a bloodthirsty maniac. Finally, the author made her die at gunpoint and clearly expressed a negative attitude. The third category is the ideal figure in the eyes of the author humanitarian resolve social contradictions, to the example of love to overcome hatred, including Mernit and his daughter Dyer, and laurel and Kardon. Meinite doctor Marquis brothers depriving the breakup of the Marquis brothers have hatred, but to his daughters love, Dyer feuding can abandon old hatreds; that the Marquis brothers and nephews, he condemned his family greatly discerning and apprehending, evil, abandon the title and property, determined by his actions to _sin_. The people who reflect each other are the victims of aristocratic tyranny, tolerant and tolerant; one is the heir of the noble Marquis, and the other is benevolent. Among them was Lucie, who was the daughter and wife. In the bond of love they form a happy family of mutual understanding and affection. This is obviously the author envisaged a violent revolution contrary to the solution of social contradictions, is unrealistic.
The book of Shuangcheng is different from the general historical novel, and its characters and main plot are imaginary. In the broad real background of the French Revolution, the author of the fictional characters meinite experienced doctors mainly leads to miscarriage of justice, love and revenge three mutually independent and interrelated stories intertwined, intricate plot, complex clue. The author adopts flashback, narration interspersed with flashbacks, foreshadowing, techniques such as pave the way to novel structural integrity of tight, tense plot twists and turns and dramatic, showing excellent artistic skills. _Shuangcheng_ style of solemn, gloomy, full of anger, but the lack of early works of humor.

双城记英文读后感 第16篇
_This is the best of times and the worst of times._ The first sentence of a tale of two cities is quoted numerous times. But I guess the man who knows this sentence and the novel _tale of two cities_ tells a story, and does not know why. If you want to understand the original meaning of this sentence, and why you write this classic sentence, it is natural to read the original.
_In short, that era is so similar to todays._ This sentence actually explains the two questions of the above classic sentence: why do you say that, and to whom? This is one of the reasons why the novel was born, dickens hope that through such a novel, by describing the French revolution brought disaster to the people to express their own worry, warn the dangerous situation at the same time. A revolutionary history, two cities representing two countries, a few wind and rain people, constitute the main elements of the novel.
Although the tale of a tale of two cities is a classic novel, it is considered to be the authors view of history because it explicitly states that the revolutionary background is the French revolution. And that is the focus of countless controversies over the novel. In the novel, dickens showed the cruelty of the aristocracy, but also showed the irrational destruction of the revolutionary masses. The revolution, he argued, was a kind of oppression that replaced another kind of oppression, and a bloodbath that was a direct and heavy one instead of another. A series of depictions of the storming of the bastille and of the mob - bloody, brutal, cunning, malevolent - is the most striking aspect of the novel.
Dickens has devoted a great deal of ink to the evil of the mob, showing his abhorrence of the mob and, in a certain degree, the hatred of the revolution. Of course, as a humanist, dickens also points out the cure for the world: love. This kind of love, embodied in the novel includes family love, love, friendship and such private feelings, also includes the abandonment of the aristocracy, the salvation of the kind of fraternity. Among them, the most brilliant is the description of cartons love.
I like carton very much. In fact, carton was the embodiment of dickens, and dickens was the first to think of the man and the spirit of his body to conceive the novel. So, what was carton like? The novel describes: _the sun is sad and mournful, and the rising of sorrow, the sight unseen, is nothing worse than this man. He is talented and emotional, but he has no opportunity to show his talent. He cant do anything, and he cant make his own happiness. He knew his problem, but he resigned himself to his fate, and he wasted all his time, year after year.
It is a young man who has lost his talent and youth. The novel does not appear to have been explained, since he has appeared in the first place, and has not written much about his family background. Personally, this man represents dickens himself, so he does not need to describe too much - the fall of carton comes from his frustration with the deteriorating society. He went up to the guillotine and said, _I see the evil of this age, and the evil of the former times, which has caused this evil, and I have gradually died for my SINS._
Pessimists - caton, was rejected by his friends meet with difficulties, in the love of a womans husband is about to be guillotined in when he suddenly appeared, be dont save the situation, do price with his own life, in the Nick of time to make a replace plan to rescue his beloved womans husband.
It is not the love of Christ, who has redeemed his sin and died. In fact, in the novel, carton did indeed say, in the biblical tone, _the resurrection is in me, the life is in me, and the man who believes in me, though dead, will rise again. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. This is the medicine that dickens prescribed for _the worst of times_, but it is, after all, an ideal. It is said that the tale of a tale of two cities is an immortal work without Sidney. The existence and behavior of carton, the novel loses its value and brilliance.

A tale of two cities in this paper, the human nature thought what I touch, such as Charles Dickens wrote, he to his _sacred goal_ and give up the position and property, and this in _resurrection_ Xia He leave Christopher, as high; In order to save him into knowing unusually dangerous prison, he was the _stack_ tiger, to _the lofty spirit is worth learning, not afraid of hard, dont give the evil forces, for the sake of the truth, regardless of life to save people, and I really admire him.
In the ordinary in the novel, I saw a lot of different people, honest good matei, doctors, Lucy beautiful generous, elegant noble, loyal Charles lowry, distorts the life of Germanys wife, appearance indifference, inner passion Sidney, gracious miss PuLuoShi, cruel and wicked Mr Howe brothers.
In this book the author distorts the history, uglifies the feudal aristocracy, the fact is not completely. Many scenarios, such as the horse knight doctors have imprisoned blank warrant, are risking their lives to save Charles still, a doctor, the leader of the people of Britain for fear of the other countries, said: _the French nobility oppress people_. In order to buy off chert, with high status and wealth, he did not lose his money, and he improved the story of the tireless efforts of the oppressed.
The main expression is love and kindness, reflecting good and evil boobs, love and hate, and finally the author says, _love always conquers hate_. Evil is always a flash in the pan, and all must die with the evil one, and the good is everlasting.
It reveals the social aspect of England comprehensively; The darkness of parliamentary politics, the doting of the ruling institutions, the evils of the money society, the poverty of the masses.
With a story to deal with their contemporaries called for the authorities and the public, tyranny would cause violence, crisis near in the day, the rich should have merciful, bleeding can cause more more blood flow.

Charles Dickens(1812～1870),one of the greatest novelist in England. I have read his A tale of two cities .And this is the beginning of the book.
“A Tale of Two Cities”, one of Dickens’ works, is a well-known long story. And it has a great influence on the society at that time. When I saw the title at first, I thought it might tell something about the developing process of two cities, which might be no fun. However, after reading it , I found I had been wrong.
It portrays a brutal, bloody and revengeful society as well as love and friendship. It happened before and after the Revolution in France. The ruthless and cruel landowners and noblemen exploited the miserable people who owned nothing, but these poor people worked for others day and night. Noblemen had the power that one word would doubtlessly send others to prison. As time passed by, the noise of the coming-up revolution storm in Paris was growing louder and louder. At last, it was on the fourteenth of July, 1789 that the revolution broke out.
“The Bastille and its officers were in the hands of people, and the people wanted revenge and blood.” The true Freedom of France came. “The Guillotine, the new machine of death, cut off the heads of many, many people-not only the powerful and the cruel, but also the beautiful, the innocent, and the good.” Among the good, there was a man called Darney. Even though his father, wife and friends knew he was innocent, the people thought he was the enemy and would go to the Guillotine.
In spite of a shadow of fear and hate here and there, we can also see the great and kind persons. I think the greatest person is Mr. Manette who had been a prisoner in the Bastille for eighteen years. What he suffered was difficult to imagine, but he was still kind and loved his daughter. He did his best to save his son-in-law, whose father and uncle were the men that had ever sent him to prison. Another great man is the lawyer, Sydney Carton, a friend of Darney. Before Darney went to Guillotine, Mr. Carton changed places with him and he said, “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever know.” Besides, the story is full of love, including the love between father and daughter, the love between husband and wife, the love among friends and so on. In short, only if you have love in your heart, the life is meaningful. At the same time, the revenge will run away with you, freedom and happiness will be around you.
There is no doubt that Charles Dickens is one of the greatest writers in English. From this book, I see some true lives and moving stories from the old ages. I think you must feel the same as me that we don’t want to live in that condition. To be frank, we all look forward to living in a peaceful and love situation. Though the present life has improved a lot, there are still wars in some places. All that we need is to solve the problems in peaceful ways instead of by force. So let’s work hard together in order to make our life much more meaningful and happier, make our society more harmonious.
