This was a wicked and awful determination, but these poor, wretched people had been made to suffer all their lives, and their parents before them, and centuries of oppression had killed all their pity and made them as fierce as wild beasts that only wait for their cages to be opened to destroy all in their path. THIS WAS A WICKED AND AWFUL DETERMINATION BUT THESE POOR WRETCHED PEOPLE HAD BEEN MADE TO SUFFER ALL THEIR LIVES AND THEIR PARENTS BEFORE THEM AND CENTURIES OF OPPRESSION HAD KILLED ALL THEIR PITY AND MADE THEM AS FIERCE AS WILD BEASTS THAT ONLY WAIT FOR THEIR CAGES TO BE OPENED TO DESTROY ALL IN THEIR PATH
he other city of the story--Paris, the French capital. The indifference and harsh oppression of the court and the nobles toward the poor had gone on increasing day by day, and day by day the latter had grown more sullen and resentful. All the while the downtrodden people of Paris were plotting secretly to rise in rebellion, kill the king and queen and all the nobles, seize their riches and govern France themselves. The center of this plotting was Defarge, the keeper of the wine shop, who had cared for Doctor Manette when he had first been released from prison. Defarge and those he trusted met and planned often in the very room where Mr. Lorry and Lucie had found her father making shoes. They kept a record of all acts of cruelty toward the poor committed by the nobility, determining that, when they themselves should be strong enough, those thus guilty should be killed, their fine houses burned, and all their descendants put to death, so that not even their names should remain in France.
