Charles Dickens'novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789-1799).During its course,French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens.
In reading the work,one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution.At the beginning,Dickens notes that,in 1775,France was busy spending money.This mention of France's spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution.Before the revolution,the government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes.The increased spending and borrowing made many people's blood boil,yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility's oppression and exploitation of the working class,including peasants,as the causes of the revolution.
The Marquis,one of the book's characters,ill-treats and kills many people.Thus,he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes.One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s.The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered.Nobles may have been guilty of other evils,however,such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789.
Dickens'account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the king's troops.Dickens does include some accurate details,however,such as the crowd's finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack's executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post.The scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail,but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine at work.
Dickens'descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give readers some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror,which lasted about a year.During the Terror,the government jailed about 250 thousand people,tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand,and executed about 12 thousand without a trial.Those executed included people who opposed the revolution,people who offended the revolutionaries,and even some revolutionaries.About 15percent were members of the ministry or nobility.
