TOTC: Discussion Director: Leah Sevco
So far, I am mostly understand the story, but still I am slightly confused. But there are a few things I would like to ask to get the discussion for this week’s blog going.
First off, what do you think of Madame Defarge’s knitting? Does it not seem sort of creepy to you? Also I’m not sure if I missed it or if it just didn’t say, but what happens to the people whose names are knitted on the register?
Secondly, I would like to remind you of something that may be a key part in the story by asking you a question. Did the fact that Lucie and Darnay went on their honeymoon cause the doctor to “cobble shoes”? Possibly, this is just his reaction that happens when he is confused, lonely, or scared. He may be going a little insane.
Lastly, I would like to comment on how Mr. Lorry had reflected so deeply on the way he had brought Lucie up and helped her through everything. Could he possibly have some feeling for Lucie? Also, even though their relationship has been lasting for 9 years, do you think it will last them for the rest of their lives?
