14. Literary Devices Metaphor- “As a whirpool of boiling waters has a centre point, so all the raging circled round Defarge’s wine-shop, and every human drop in the caldron had a tendency to be sucjed towards the vortex where Defarge himself, already begrimed with gunpowder and sweat, issued orders, issued arms, thrust this man back, dragged this man forward, disarmed one to arm another, laboured and strove in the thickest of the uproar.” Pg. 214

15. Metaphor; “With a roar that sounded as if all the breath in France had been shaped into the detested word, the living sea rose, wave on wave, depth on depth, and overflowed the city to that point. Alarm-bells ringing, drums beating the sea raging and thundering on its new beach, the attack began.” Pg 214

16. Pathetic Fallacy- “Saint Antoine had been, that morning, a vast dusky mass of scarecrows heaving to and fro, with frequent gleams of light above the billowy heads, where steal blades and bayonets shone in the sun.” p. 213

18. Theme Development Justice/Revenge- The revolutionaries seek revenge upon the aristocrats, especially Foulon, who once told the famished people to eat grass, and that they will be going to hell. After saying this he faked his death for fear that he would be punished for his cruel words towards the poor. However, it is later revealed that he is actually alive. The sea of revolutionaries find him, torture him and kill him. They also stuff grass in his mouth to further humiliate him and achieve the ultimate revenge.

19. “I swear on my knees, on these stones, to avenge you on Foulon! Husbands, and brothers, and young men, Give us the blood of Foulon, Give us the head of Foulon, Give us the heart of Foulon, Give us the body and soul of Foulon, Rend Foulon to pieces, and dig him into the ground, that grass may grow from him.”

20. Mystery – Chapter 21 leaves the reader questioning the motives of Mr. Defarge. Why did Mr. Defarge want in Dr. Manette’s cell? What was he looking for? Did he find it? Why is it significant to the revolution? It is mystery as to what will come next. We are left wondering what Dr. Manette’s role in the revolution is. The theme of mystery is expressed throughout these chapters which engages the reader and makes them want to continue reading. Charles Dickens has manipulated the literary device of dramatic irony. In a typical situation, the reader has more knowledge than the characters, however in this instance, the reader is left in the dark and the characters know what is going on.
