【正文】 is a splendid piece in the world history literature. Chapter Ⅰ Carton’s Tragedy on LoveCarton’s love best reflects his tragedy. His deep love for Lucie is the most touching element in this novel. However, the one he loves falls in love with another young man, and his humble love result in his sacrifice for love.For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything. I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you. And when you see your own bright beauty springing up anew at your feet, think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you. 4These are the sentences what Sydney Carton says to Lucie Manette. This is the first time that he shows his feelings to her. Carton is so considerate that he does not give Lucie any pression. Carton’s fixed despair of himself es to Lucie’s relief and this atmosphere makes the interview unlike any other that could have been holden. In fact, at the end of the story, the promise should not be forgotten. If Carton did not stand out, he must be thought as an empty talker, so the final performance is truly moving. What is Carton sacrifice for? For Lucie, Sydney or may be that promise. This can prove his noble and selfless devotion of great love. It also can prove his kindness, faith, generosity. Life can be life without revolution. But life can not be life without love.Just as previously mentioned, love is Sydney Carton tragic flaw. Carton’s nobilityofcharacter is reflected most clearly in the emotional aspect. Carton’s sacrifice of his life enables him to live in a way that he otherwise could not, for this sacrifice—the only means by which Darnay can be saved—assures Carton a place in the hearts of others and allows him to have undertaken one truly meaningful and valuable act before dying. This is most touching part. During the French revolution, most of the people are filled with violence, hatred and anger, but it is rare that Carton showed the noble sentiment in the turbulent times. This is a tragedy, but it is a beautiful one. A． Resultless Love Lucie Manette is a very important female in this novel. Pretty appearance is not her only advantage. In every detail of her being, she embodies passion, love, and virtue. The indelible image of her cradling her father’s head delicately on her breast encapsulates her role as the “golden thread” that holds her family together. She manifests her purity of devotion to Charles Darnay in her unquestioning willingness to wait at a street corner for two hours each day, on the off chance that he will catch sight of her from his prison window. She is a perfect woman, and has changed many persons’ fate. Carton is one of them. Just like what himself said, “And yet I have had weakness, and have still the weakness, to wish you to know with what a sudden mastery you kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire.” (141) However, such an important person chooses another young man. Charles Darnay is an outstanding young man. Whether from appearance, career, morality, personality, he can be considered perfect. Darnay met Lucie for the first time since their encounter on the boat where their epoch of romance began. In bination with other characters, they contribute to a more detailed picture of human nature. First, they provide the light that counters the vengeful Madame Defarge’s darkness, revealing the moral aspects of the human soul so noticeably absent from Madame Defarge. Second, throughout the novel they manifest a virtuousness that Carton strives to attain and that inspires his very real and believable struggles to bee a better person. From the most direct point of view, Carton died for Darnay. Because of Darnay’s perfect, Lucie fell in love with him. Because of Darnay’s perfect, Carton would be willing to sacrifice for him. Because of his perfect, readers will turn their attention to Carton, who is not perfect. Readers absolutely do not want to see Carton dead. And this can predict Carton’s great sacrifice. B. Humble LoveSydney Carton loves Lucie Manette very much. His love in other people’s eyes is a little humble. It is can not be denied that all the love there is humbleness, just in different weight. Because of falling in love with a person, caring about a person, there is promise and sacrifices. Compromises and sacrifices will naturally feel humble. But Carton’s love has another name, it is called selfless. In his conversation with the recently acquitted Charles Darnay, Carton’s ments about Lucie Manette, while bitter and sardonic, betray his interest in, and budding feelings for the gentle girl. “She was a golden haired doll” and he denied Lucie was pretty. When Stryver questioned him, he even tired to hide his emotion. However, after everyone had gone, he ensured his feelings. Waste forces within him and a desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, selfdenial, and perseverance. In the fair city of this vision, there were airy galleries from which the loves and graces looked upon him, gardens in which the fruits of life hung ripening, waters of Hope that sparkled in his sight. A moment and it was gone. Climbing to a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglectedbed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears. (83) This is a veryexquisite description, and it truly reflects Caron’s motion. Carton falls in love with Lucie at first sight. It was he that first noticed Miss Manette’s head dropped in her father’s breast and called officer to help them. He even loves her, loves her dog. He cares something for the streets that environed Lucie’s house and for the senseless stones that made their pavements. Many a night he vaguely and unhappily wandered there. However because he lacks confidence, he does not pursue her. At the very end of the novel you find out that Carton is about to go to the guillotine, but not for himself. C
