A Title of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities focuses on two cities. One is Paris, the other, London. Both are used by Charles Dickens to show the different feelings that people held toward the French Revolution in the early 19th century. London was petrified by the prospect of another revolution happening near them after the American revolution which ended a few decades earlier. Paris gives the other view of the revolution. Paris was the heart of the revolution, and because of that there is a lot of action revolved around the anarchy in Paris. Both cities offer opposing views to an important event in human history.
