 1. Introduction 

Charles Dickens paid special attention to describing life experience of the “minor people” at the bottom of British society and gave a profound reflection of the complicated social reality in Britain. He made outstanding contributions to the development of critical realism in English literature. A Tale of Two Cities, with the French Revolution and the English society at the eve of the 18th century as its background, is one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens. The “two cities” in A Tale of Two Cities refer to Paris and London.

A Tale of Two Cities is different from other historical novels and its main personalitys and the plots are fictional. Three mutually independent and interrelated stories are intertwined together and Doctor Manette’s experience is the main line with the miscarriage of justice, love, revenge, and intricate plots.  

The most classic paragraph in A Tale of Two Cities is that 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-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only .( Charles Dickens,2006:3)源Y自Z751W.论~文'网·www.751com.cn
