Literary Devices • Metaphor- “Youknow, Doctor, that it is the Rights of these Nobles to harness us common dogs to carts, and drive us” (page 337) • Personification-…I was brought through my living grave” (page 344) • Reversal Irony- good girls among us (page 336)
Essential Quote • “If it had pleased GOD to put it in the hard heart of either of the brothers, in all these frightful years, to grant me any tidings of my dearest wife- so much as to let me know by a word whether alive or dead- I might have thought that He had not quite abandoned them. But, now I believe that the mark of the red cross is fatal to them, and that they have no part in His mercies. And them and their descendants, to their race, I AlexandreManette, unhappy prisoner, do this last night of the year 1767, in my unbearable agony, denounce to the times when all these things shall be answered for. I denounce them to Heaven and to earth” (page 344)
