Discussion Paper: Book II Chapters 15-20
Chapter 15 discusses about the meeting of the many men called Jacques. They were discussing about one of them knowing from last year about the man who he saw under the carriage of Marquis. And several months after, he found that the Marquis died and that he saw the same guy hanged because of killing a very close relative. When the mender of roads was done with recalling these events, Defarge ask him to wait for a moment outside. And the other Jacques wanted to exterminate the whole aristocracy. Madame Defarge knits the names of those that the revolutionaries will kill. He asked Madame Defarge if she could still recall or decipher the names of those people she knitted. Madame Defarge, of course, said yes. After that meeting at the wine shop, the Defarges took the mender of the roads to Versailles. When the King and Queen appeared, they were pretending to be loyal to them by saying, “Long live the King”. This is to avoid any suspicions that they are part of the revolution.
Chapter 16 talks about the policeman friend of the Defarges. The policeman warned Defarge that there came a spy in town, named, John Barsad. Madame Defarge added Barsad’s name to the ones that he would soon knit. Defarge voiced out his fears that the revolution will not take place while he is still alive. The next day, Barsad visited the wine shop and pretended to be a supporter of the revolution. He also said that Darnay will soon marry Lucie. He did this on purpose because he knows that the Defarges where once loyal servants of the Manettes. He reported that Lucie plans to marry the nephew of Marquis, Charles Darnay. After he leaves, Madame Defarge registered the name of Charles Darnay in her knitting.
Chapter 17 showed the father and daughter relationship of Dr. Manette and Lucie. This chapter
