In A Tale of Two Cities, the story is told with the main characters Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, Sydney Carton, Dr. Manette, and Madame and Monsieur Defarge. A string of events leads to a gruesome, crazed revolution, led by the Defarges, and Darnay, the Manettes, and Carton all get tied up in the chaos of it. In the end, Madame Defarge dies, the Manettes and Darnay flee to safety, and Sydney Carton sacrifices himself at the guillotine in Darnay's place, so that Lucie can be happy and stay with the man she loves (Darnay). It is a thrilling tale of secrets, murder, betrayal, revolution, sacrifice, and in the end, love.
