Why does lucie faint upon hearing Mr Lorry's story in A Tale of Two Cities?

Answer 1

After she faints a woman runs into the room (A+LS)

Lucie had lived many years without her father and believed him dead. Lorry tells her, rather bluntly, that is her father alive and has been released from prison. The surprise and emotion of the moment cause her to faint. (The incredibly tortuous corsets women wore at the time, squeezing her internal organs, had nothing to do with it, I'm sure.)

Answer 2

Lucie faints upon hearing Mr. Lorry's story because it reveals the traumatic experience of her father, whom she believed was dead. The shock and emotional distress of learning the truth about her father's wrongful imprisonment and suffering overwhelm her, causing her to faint.

Answer 3

Mr. Lorry told Lucie her father's story of imprisonment and dementia.

Answer 4

because after 18 years she finds out that her father was alive since she knew ever since she was kid that her father was dead.
