Charles Darnay paragraph

           This picture here is Charles Darnay from A Tale of Two Cities. He is a character that was first seen in court when he was accused of something. Darnay got out of that predicament but he still is pretty suspicious because the way Dickens characterizes him. There are not many ways in which the author characterizes Darney. Here are some illustrations that characterize Charles Darnay. First,When Lorry is talking to Darnay, and calls him feint. Darney says to Mr. Lorry ,"I begin to think I am faint"(Dickens 62). What this quote means is that he is gloomy, very morose. Maybe kind of like a ghost, also in my drawing he looks very feint. Second, when the author is classifying Darnay, Dickens writes' ,"In this age, he would have been a professor, in that age, he was a tutor"(Dickens 99). What this quote means is that Darnay is very smart. Saying he is smart can mean lots of things. He could be sneakier and more suspicious. Or it could be the opposite. Who knows? Lastly, The author, again classifies Darnay writing ,"He studied much, slept little, sustained a great deal of fatigue with ease, and was equably cheerful"(Dickens 100). What this quote means is that he is intelligent, sleeps terribly but still is quite jolly and gets a lot of stress but still is okay. This sounds like a present college student and this makes Darnay seem different than the other people in this book. In conclusion, Charles Darnay may be a mysterious and suspicious person but he has good qualities, being intelligent and studious. If it were a type of person, I would classify him as a college student. But if it were an object I would pick a magnet because everything seems to go to him.
