  1. Book 2 Chapter 11A Companion Picture By Jake Snyder

  2. Significance of Title • A Companion Picture describes how the scene between Stryver and Carton mirrors the scene between Darnay and Doctor Manette from the previous chapter. • In chapter ten Darnay tells Doctor Manette that he loves Lucie and he wants to marry her. In chapter eleven the same thing happens, but it is Stryver telling Carton that he wants to marry Lucie.

  3. Plot Summary • Carton and Stryver are having drinks late at night. • Stryver tells Carton that he has decided to marry, but he will not tell Carton who he wants to marry. • Carton asks Stryver if he wants to marry a woman with wealth. • Stryver announces that he wants to marry Lucie Manette. • Stryver brags that he has money and is worthy to marry Lucie. • Carton drinks heavily at this news and he assures Stryver that his words have not upset him. • Stryver then gives advice to Carton that he should get married to a rich woman who can take care of him. • The conversation ends with Carton thinking about Stryver’s advice.

  4. Literary Devices • Simile – “You made mention of the young lady as a golden-haired doll” (145). This simile shows how Stryver and Carton describe Lucie as a beautiful blond haired person. • Metaphor – “Sydney, I rather despair of making myself intelligible to you, because you are such an insensible dog”(144) Stryver feels that Sydney can not understand what he is saying and he feels that Sydney is a unintelligent person. • Foreshadowing -“Find out some respectable woman with a little property somebody in the landlady way, or lodging-letting way and marry her, against a rainy day. That’s the kind of thing for you. Now, think of it, Sydney”(146) Later in the story Carton might get married to a woman with wealth.

  5. Essential Quote • “She will have a man already pretty well off, and a rapidly rising man, and a man of some distinction: it is a piece of good fortune for her, but she is worthy of good fortune(145)”.
