The plot correlation stuck between England and France is created as Jarvis Lorry has an employment for Tellson’s Bank in both London and Paris, and the Manettes are formerly from France. Alexandre Manette is the guy who has been in detention center for the past 18 years, but the anticipation is not tapered. Lorry states that Dr. Manette have to be clandestinely removed from France, and that he has lost his recall. Both of these plot strategies keep the readers fascinated in reading further.
The whole narrative is linked with such interconnections, based constantly of the foreshadowing or echoing elements. Such recurrence of events that happened in the past has the evident function of promoting the harmony and likelihood of the work of fiction. An even more significant result is the formation of an intensity of ambiance beyond the power of mere appearance of truth or in minute detail to achieve the relationship of the past and the present events.
We are presented with a system of interdependence when even objects in the landscape contribute to the sense of an interlocking system. With their multiple linkages, the “essential elements and useful developments in the scenes of Dickens’ style and plot supply the very fiber and fabric of his tightly knit world. The notorious twists of fate of his narrative are not weak devices of melodrama, but have behind them a universal underlying principle. These devices are useful in the unraveling of events in order to understand fully the present incidents—because it will not be possible without understanding how the past experiences happened.
“These plot devices of foreshadowing and coincidences are used to expound basic themes flowing through the novel (Hatch & Wisniewski, 17).” These themes involve the issue of interconnections with the places and characters’ past and present, the intricate relationship between reality and appearances, the root of truth, and the incapability of man to get hold of truth only by logical reasoning.
The chronological ordering of the narrative promotes a distinct view of time: where the past and the present are united, and where they are restructure and re-formulated out of the uncontrollable power of love, concern, forgiveness, and surrender. It is be obvious that the organization of the narrative serves as a significant tool for the central development of the text.
Dickens takes the reader farther and farther back into the past in order gradually to cast more light on the preceding events. The result of this technique is that the development of the novel happens to be twofold: it advances forward, while at the same time it discovers more and more remote layers of the forgotten.
Coincidences created the dynamism throughout the narrative. Readers are moved in a paradox and contradiction of how the past and the present are intertwined in a storm of emotion that affect the natural cycle of life.
