Essay / Violence Analysis of Tale Of Two Cities - 1137
Madame Defarge, who is the leader of the female peasantry, has a malicious hatred towards Monique, which led to the idea of killing Lucie Darnay and Charles Darnay who have relations with Monique. His thoughts and actions show that violence and fury controlled most of the peasants. The angry peasantry also used the guillotine as equipment to kill not only the guilty but also the innocent, which illustrates the violence and disbelief of the leader of the revolution. During the storming of the Bastille, the peasants expressed their anger by killing the Bastille guards and the nobles who treated them in bed, even cutting off their heads and hanging them under the lamp, which indicated violence and peasant madness. The violence and fury of the leaders and peasants led to the failure of the revolution, as they not only had to face foreign armies, but also the enemies of the country.
