Body paragraph of Charles Darnay

In A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Charles Darnay is a very caring, hard-working and intelligent person. For example he says, “I look only to sharing your fortunes, sharing your life and home, and bring faithful to you to the death. Not to divide with Lucie her privilege as your child, companion, and friend; but to come in aid of it, and bind her closer to you, if such a thing can be” (Dickens 103). Darnay is talking to Dr. Manette about his love of Lucie. He tells him he will never come between father and daughter. Darnay wants to share his life with Lucie and in return bind her closer to Dr. Manette. Not only will he stay loyal to Lucie but also to her father, Dr. Manette. Next, Dickens shows Darnay’s intelligence. For instance he says, “He read with young men…and he cultivated a task for its stores of knowledge and fancy. He could write of them, besides in sound English, and render them in sound English” (Dickens 99). Darnay is a well-educated man from all he does. He is said to be a Tutor and teaches young men all that he knows. This develops the expanse of his knowledge. He can write in English and speak it very well which is hard to do without the proper intelligence. Lastly, the author talks of how hard-working he is. For example he says to his uncle, “I must do, to live, what others of my countrymen, even with nobility at their backs, may have to do some day—work” (Dickens 95). In this scene, Darnay’s uncle, the Marquis, asks if he intends to live when Darnay refuses the fortune. Darnay says he wants to live as his countrymen does may have to do one day. He wants to work for his money and not have it supplied to him. His countrymen refer to people of his status and nobility. He knows that one day they will have to work and he will gladly follow them. This really shows how his character is not greedy at all. In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens creates Darnay to be a caring, hard-working and intelligent man.
