  2. England • “Altogether, the Old Bailey... was a choice illustration of whatever is, is right.” Pg. 59

  3. England • “Making his way through the tainted crowd…” - Pg. 59

  4. England • Charles Dickens uses the blue flies as symbolism for the courtroom. Excluding Mr. Darnay, the people of the court were deceitful and untrustworthy. Even the judge in this chapter was accusing the innocent individual, creating an unfair trial. This corruption disgusted Dickens so bad that he would compare the people in the courtroom to an item so revolting that flies would gather around them as they spoke of their evasiveness and favoritism.

  5. France • “Similarly, though with a subtle difference…” Pg. 274

  6. France • “… Fifteen prisoners were put to the bar before Charles Darnay’s name was called, all fifteen were condemned, and the trials of the whole occupied an hour and a half.” – Pg. 274

  7. France • “… The usual order of things was reversed, and that the felons were trying the honest men.” Pg. - 274
