Quote: We chose this quote because it showed how evil Madam Defarge is towards the aristocrats. Lucid and Little Lucid are condemned to death (registers in the knitting) by Madam Defarge merely because of association with an aristocrat. This quote shows the contrast between Madame Defarge and Lucie and how Madame Defarge's evil makes Lucie look purer and vice versa. The quote shows that there have been many years of suffering for the wives and mothers of peasants, this is how she justifies killing a mother and child. Madame Defarge asks why should Lucie be saved from their suffering if all the women before her were not saved from suffering? However much Lucie begs Madame to save her husband, Madame’s hatred toward the aristocracy has consumed her.

Her dark aura is enclosing both the letter and, more importantly Little Lucie. This is important due to the fact that, Madame Defarge has now seen Little Lucie and can now put her on the list. Before today nobody other than people close to Lucie knew what she looked
