shows dichotomy between Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, which helps to show the dramatic change in Carton’s character. Dichotomy helps to show the significant change in Carton because it shows how he wants to be a better man.

Sydney Carton was primarily portrayed as a drunken waste of potential. During the first one-on-one scene that he appears in, he sits hunched and silent at a table “with…

of a team, and meets the needs of everyone working towards a common goal. True leaders see an opportunity for change and turn that opportunity into action. Contradictory to popular belief, leaders do not have to be the smartest people in the room. Sydney Finkelstein (2015), author of Why Smart Executives Fail, argues that the best leaders are ones who do not plan to lead, but seize a presented opportunity.

for me”: a thoughtful and poetic outlook on life as we know it (89).
