Paper Summary:

This paper uses the first book of Charles Dickens' novel, "A Tale of Two Cities", as an example of how Dickens uses a number of literary devices, including personification, to foreshadow the approaching struggle. Several times in this first book, personification is used in anticipation of the coming Revolution.

From the Paper:

The first chapter in "Recalled to Life" is called "The Period," in which the state of both France and England in the year 1775 is presented. Included in the description of France, a young boy is badly tortured and then killed for not kneeling before a procession of monks walking by at a far distance. The author then writes, ?It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of France and Norway. . . "
