Charles Darnay

Charles Darnay, a young adult living in England or a French aristocratic? The answer is both, Charles Darnay is a important character from A Tale of Two Cities and also a well grounded, caring and honest man. "-I would abandon it and live otherwise and elsewhere. It is little to relinquish. What is it but a wilderness of misery and pain?(Dickens 95)". This first quote shows how he is well grounded and has good morals. The "it" in the quote is referring to wealth and money and he is saying how that is not important and he would rather live somewhere else and be happy and content, which you don't need money to be.  My next quote portrays Darney's caring side "I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestly, devotedly.(Dickens 101). This shows how he cares very much for Lucie and how he is truly devoted and loyal to her. "I wish it, that I may the better deserve your confidence and have no secrets from you.(Dickens 104)" This last quote shows how Charles is honest and straight forward with wanting to tell lucie's father his secret and not keep anything from him. Also in this drawing the two objects I associated with him were money and a heart. The money and coins represented how he was an aristocratic and had a lot of money. The heart showed how he is looking for love, which he believes he has found with lucie. Both of these things, along with his characteristics I believe help to portray him as the man he is.
