Detailed explanation-1: -A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel published in 1859 by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although Dickens borrowed from Thomas Carlyle’s history, The French Revolution, for his sprawling tale of London and revolutionary Paris, the novel offers more drama than accuracy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: In A Tale of Two Cities, London is presented in symbolic contrast to Paris. London symbolizes stability, structure, order, and the peaceful co-existence of the poor and the aristocrats. This symbolic representation is in contrast to Paris which is a city in chaos and impending bloodshed.
Detailed explanation-4: -There is really only one driving route from London to Paris, which is through the Channel Tunnel.
Detailed explanation-5: -Dickens depicts this process most clearly through his portrayal of some of the events of French Revolution, such as the storming of the Bastille, the senseless fury of the mob and the Reign of Terror. The guillotine, a machine designed to behead its victims, is one of the enduring symbols of the French Revolution.
