The story took placed in the period of the French Revolution。 I find some relationship between the background and the characters in the novel. So I used the methods of theoretical discussion, search for the datas, reading and quotation to analyze respectively the social background and the economic background which had resulted in the different characters of the people with different classes. Charles Dickens is a master of using unique tones to portray the personality traits. I analyze this point based on the describing details in the article. At the last part of my assay, I gave a parison between the novel A Tale of Two Cities and Les Mis233。狄更斯是一 位善于用不同腔調(diào)來塑造不同性 格的大師，在論文中，我用小說中描寫的細(xì)節(jié)之處分析了狄更斯的這種寫作手法，從而使我們更好地 理解小說中的人物特點(diǎn)。這篇小說旨在告訴我們：再多的鮮血也洗不掉仇恨，仇恨永遠(yuǎn)不能成為愛的替代品。讓我們學(xué)習(xí)露西的善良，曼內(nèi)特先生的仁慈，達(dá)爾內(nèi)的正直，卡頓的無私精神以及羅瑞和普洛斯小姐的熱心，這 個世界將會充滿愛！ 關(guān)鍵詞： 《雙城記》， 法國大革命， 人物關(guān)系， 性格特點(diǎn)，愛。 they ended up in prison for getting into debt.

Instead, he made good use of what he had seen and gone through.

The Research and Development at Home and Abroad Which are Related to This Topic In 1935, the American had adapted this immortal famous novel into a movie. And 23 years later, in 1958, the English also used this novel to create a famous movie.
