A long time ago in France, there were three types of people. There lived the poor who lived off their land and the businesses of others, which created the bottom of the social classes. There lived the wealthy people who made a living from themselves and the businesses they owned, which gave them noble power. Finally, lived the royalty: the king, the queen and their people. These people belonged to their explicit social classes in France, which is the basis of the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Dickens uses these lessons in his story to express the French Revolution and show how the poor were mistreated by the rich and how the royalties were the most corrupt in the country. The French Revolution was the turning point of France at the time, which shook up the entire basis of the French monarchy through the French classes coming together to stop the king. The social classes of France constituted the Revolution that transformed France and became a more civilized and just society, and this is quite evident in Charles Dickens' novel, A Tale of Two Cities. The French Revolution was a period when all of France was destroyed. against the monarchy. King Louis XVI was overthrown by the people at this time. The change resulted in the replacement of monarchical society (French Revolution 2). The republic now formed and ruled by the people is now forever an example of what can happen to those who live in places ruled by kings and queens, and that those who wish to escape tyranny can always make a change. The reigning tyranny ultimately led to the execution of the two kings (2). This is evident in Dickens' novel, whose story centers on revolution. Madame Defarge exists as on...... middle of paper ...... people like him in his class all because of his past! The social classes of France constituted the Revolution that transformed France and became a more civilized and just society, and this is quite evident in Charles Dickens' novel, A Tale of Two Cities.
