Charles Darnay

Charles Darnay from A Tale Of Two Cities is an overall well-rounded person, who was born into a troublesome life. Darnay’s family is apart of the French aristocracy, which he doesn’t favor. He wants no part of it and dislikes how they treat others, especially the peasants. To prevent himself from growing into his parents, he leaves that life behind and moves to London. He tutors in London and becomes a whole new person. Trying to escape the life he was born into was very difficult for Darnay. He got caught up in multiple messes because of his past. Dickens writes, “ ‘Sir,’ said the nephew, ‘we have done wrong, and now we are reaping the fruits of wrong’ “ (Dickens 94) This means he is now being punished for being related to the aristocracy. This quote shows how he he is very honest by admitting his wrongs. Charles Darnay is a very centered person who has learned from his past.
