A tale of two cities (1)

          'The tale of two cities' was written by Charles Dickens. It is his most important representative works. And Dickens occupies important position in England literature history.

                 The background to the novel is the revolution of France. It portrayed a brutal and bloody story, but it also contained love and friendship. 'A tale of two cities' isn't a love story completely and not just a revolutionary story. 'The tale of two cities' is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the fictional character Dr.Manette as the main clue. The plots are complicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is complete and rigorous. I think the theme of the story is if you love someone, you should give him freedom and shouldn't tie him with your love. When I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Li Mu Bai said to Xiu Lien, when I clench my hand, there is nothing inside. It is the same meaning.
