In "A Tale of Two Cities," written by Charles Dickens and published in 1859, the story is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. The narrative begins with Charles Darnay, a traveler from England, making his way to Paris in 1792. He faces numerous challenges along his journey, including poor roads and the heightened vigilance of citizen-patriots who scrutinize all travelers. Darnay realizes that returning to England is no longer an option for him until he is recognized as a good citizen in France. The atmosphere is tense and oppressive, reflecting the turmoil of the times, as he feels increasingly trapped by the watchfulness of the revolutionary forces around him. The story explores themes of sacrifice, resurrection, and the struggle for justice amidst chaos.
