Recalled To Life “Recalled to Life” Throughout A Tale of Two Cities the major theme, “Recalled to life" exists and flourishes. It all begins when Jerry Cruncher receives a letter that states "RECALLED TO LIFE"; this simple quote sums up, and foreshadows most of the happenings in the novel. The simple letter “RECALLED TO LIFE” corresponds to Dr. Manette and one of the many times he was “Recalled to life”. The first and most dramatic instance in which Dr. Manette was “Recalled to life” occurred at the beginning of the novel when Lorry and Lucie discover the mad doctor. When asked his name, Dr. Manette responds “One Hundred and Five, North Tower”, concluding him as mad. Later Lorry and Lucie nurse the doctor back to health, thus he was “Recalled to life”. Afterward Dr. Manette repeats the process of going mad after finding out about Charles Darney’s secret and once again is “Recalled to life” by Lucie. “Recalled to life” also clearly relates to Charles Darney numerous times. The first time Charles is “Recalled to life” occurs at the beginning while Charles is on trial for treason.
