thoughtful and poetic outlook on life as we know it (89). Taking place in Paris and England, A Tale of Two Cities, a novel, written by Charles Dickens, displays an opposition of personalities between the two main characters in the novel.

To bring more evidence to this confusion, later in the tale Gilgamesh disrespects a god and as such she sends down the Bull of Heaven to kill Gilgamesh for his insolence.
