Literary devices • Imagery: • " Miss Pross, in the instinct of the moment, seized her round the waist in both her arms, and held her tight. It was in vain for Madame Defarge to struggle and to strike;...The two hands of Madame Defarge buffeted and tore at her face; but, Miss Pross, with her head down, held her round the waist, and clung to her with more than the hold of a drowning woman.“ • Simile: • "As the smoke cleared, leaving an awful stillness, it passed out on the air, like the soul of the furious woman whose body lay lifeless on the ground." • Irony: • "The Vengeance and Jacques Three vied with each other in their fervent protestations that she was the most admirable and marvelous of witnesses."
Essential quote • “Madame Defarge’s hands were at her bosom. Miss Pross looked up saw what it was, struck at it, struck out a flash and a crash, and stood alone – blinded with smoke.”
