Mr. Carton suffers from an extremely low case of self-esteem. He does not perceive any of his actions as worthwhile, and he finds himself to be a weak, undeserving, underachiever. He also accepts that he is how he is, and it is not really in his power to change. The only feeling he has that he considers worthy of anything is his love of Lucie. At the conclusion of the novel (I won't give anything away) Carton finally finds a way to become useful.
