My dear Miss Romina, Allow me just to list some examples for you. Dr Manette is brought back from the threshold of madness by the power of his daughter's love. He is persuaded to accept as his son-in-law Charles Darnay, a member of the family that had ruined his life, through the power of the love both bear for Lucie. Miss Pross risks her life and sacrifices her hearing because of the power of her love for Lucie. Sydney Carton is redeemed, and sacrifices himself, because of his love for Lucie. Nor will you protest, I hope, if I point out to you that the closing pages of my book remind us of the love that redeems us all, the love of our Saviour. Faithfully yours, Charles Dickens _______________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: tersigni@aei-online.net <tersigni@aei-online.net> To: cdickens@RMPLC.CO.UK <cdickens@RMPLC.CO.UK> Date: 11 January 1999 02:46 Subject: A Tale of Two Cities >Dear Mr. Dickens, > > I am a grade eleven, enhanced student, and at this time we are studying A Tale of Two Cities. Although reading comes easily to me, I find it quite hard to fully understand the plot of this particular novel. My question is, concerning the theme of 'the power of love', what examples can you offer that can help me prove this theme. In other words I'm stuck on an essay :). I would greatly appreciate your time and effort. > > Thank you, > > Romina, > Ontario, Canada >
