In "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens, Temple Bar is a gate that marks the boundary between the City of London and Westminster. It serves as a symbol of the division between the two cities and represents the rigid social hierarchy present in the novel. Temple Bar also serves as a physical barrier that characters must pass through, reflecting the barriers they face in society.
