Review of 9/5 Class Notes
  • Foil: complete opposite for purposes of enhancing characters#
  • Doppleganger: similar in one aspect/ different in another. Mirror images
  • Goes to groups formed from yesterday- discussions of Carton

Sympathetic- designed to have reader take pity on, feel connected to, relate/understand motives

Unsympathetic- designed to not make us feel for, or to dislike

Carton Discussion
  • Fellow of No Delicacy (chapter 13)- title is ironic, also points to foil’s. Carton/Stryver. Stryver thinks of himself as the “Delicacy”
    • “never be better”
    • self-loathing, doesn’t find good in himself
  • Carton-Darnay- dopplegangers, both in love with Lucie
    • dinner
    • Carton- smart alec, in charge of conversation. from smarty-pants to cry-baby
    • Page 85- “Do you particularly like the man?...You hate the fellow.”-
      • moment of difference- Carton realizes that he is alone in the world and that Darnay is what he wants to be.
