Repression is the process of excluding one's desires from consciousness, and holding it in the unconscious.

In "A Tale of Two Cities," repression is a recurring theme symbolized through the oppressive rule of the French aristocracy and the harsh treatment of the common people. The oppressive regime led to widespread poverty, inequality, and suffering, pushing people to rebel against the establishment. This repression ultimately culminates in the French Revolution, where the oppressed rise up against their oppressors in a violent and chaotic struggle for freedom and justice.
