Rebirth, an important idea in Christianity and Western thought, is often associated with rejuvenation and second chances. The idea of ​​a second birth is both a baptism and a change of identity, all of which feature prominently in Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities. Two characters, Dr. Manette and Sydney Carton, both go through a process of rebirth and identity change. The birth process is inherently a woman's responsibility, both in the case of Dr. Manette and that of Sydney Carton, they are reborn through the actions they perform for Lucie - whose name is telling in itself, meaning light/daylight, all of this symbolizes something new/God the light and the way. Resurrection is a recurring theme that can be seen through the actions of Dr. Manette and Sydney Carton. One character who experiences resurrection is Dr. Manette. His birth is linked to an inversion of the parent-child relationship. The doctor has been incarcerated in the Bastille for 18 years. We see that the Bastille acted as a womb for Dr. Manette and reduced him to an infantile and infantile state. Being locked up for so long had led to Dr. Manette beginning to lose his mind. To stay sane, the doctor must entertain himself by making shoes. He experiences resurrection for the first time after reuniting with his daughter, Lucie. “She held him tighter around the neck and rocked him on her chest like a child” (64). Here, it is evident that Lucie will take on the role of a mother figure and help her father return to a normal lifestyle. The role of the parent-child relationship is reversed in this situation. Instead of Dr. Manette taking care of Lucie, Lucie takes care of her father. Additionally, Mr. Lorry tells Dr. Mannette that he is being recalled...... middle of paper...... and continues to make sense of him. Carton's death also marked the end of the revolution which finally ended the problems of the other characters in the novel. Carton experienced redemption when he died, giving himself and others a second chance. Often, as human beings, we must put others before ourselves. Additionally, it is important to act for others without reciprocity. Resurrection is an important theme that can be seen through the actions of Dr. Mannette and Sydney Carton. Both characters had the opportunity to come back from the dead. Dr. Mannette was locked in a prison cell for many years when he began to lose his mind. He experienced resurrection upon his release from prison and was able to return to a normal lifestyle. Sydney Carton also experienced resurrection when he sacrificed himself not only to give his life purpose, but also for the well-being of others..
