Depressed over Marquis's death, and Madame Defarge comforts her by soothing words.
fictional character
Versailles
Madame Defarge can be considered to represent the French Revolution in general. The aristocracy of France did commit terrible abuses, and they did deserve to be overthrown, but they did not deserve to be slaughtered indiscriminately as if all members of the nobility were guilty of the same crimes. In the end, many innocent people were killed by the French Revolution, both nobles and commoners who were in some way found guilty of disloyalty to the revolution. All people deserve to be judged as individuals, not as members of a group. We are responsible for our actions, but we are not responsible for the family into which we are born.
Defarge is the owner of a wine shop in the slum of Saint Antoine in Paris. He and his wife Madame Therese Defarge are passionate advocates for revolution and regularly dispense and gather information from inside the wine shop. When the story starts, Defarge is harboring Dr. Alexandre Manette, his old employer, who has just been released from seventeen years of unjust and secret imprisonment in the Bastille. Defarge is incredibly loyal to Dr. Manette and truly cares for him, but he doesn't shrink from a little exploitation by showing Manette to other patriots as an inspiration for the revolt he hopes to incite. Defarge tells Manette's story to a group of men in the hopes that they will spread the word of yet another injustice perpetrated by the aristocracy - specifically, a notorious pair of brothers named St. Evremonde. Defarge is the leader of his community and will be pivotal in leading the people on an assault on the Bastille.He discovers a paper in Dr. Manette's old cell in the Bastille which documents why Manette was imprisoned and by whom. Generally good-natured and decent, Defarge is torn by loyalty to his wife and loyalty to Dr. Manette; he does nothing to stop Manette's family from escaping France.
Madame Defarge makes an excellent symbol for the French Revolution because she represents the attitude of the French Peasants-turned-revolutionaries. Like the peasant's, she has suffered greatly at the hands of the aristocrats. She has seen her family destroyed and lived in poverty. She wishes to live in a world of equality and fairness. Once she gains the power to actually shape her nation, however, she turns into a mad tyrant. No amount of reason can make her forgive, forget, or stop seeking revenge. -dP
