Sydney Carton, from Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities," is often compared to Jesus Christ due to his sacrificial nature and redemptive arc. Like Christ, Carton ultimately lays down his life for the sake of others, choosing to save Charles Darnay and his family at the cost of his own life. His transformation from a dissolute, self-loathing man to a figure of selflessness and love mirrors the themes of redemption and sacrifice found in Christ's story. This comparison emphasizes the profound impact of personal sacrifice for the greater good.

Who was prisoner in the Tale of Two Cities?

It's much more powerful if it is personally read. However, in the end, Sydney Carton sacrifices himself for Darnay, for the sake of Lucie and her family since he and Darnay appear so similiarly physically. In a way, Carton seems to die in a prophetical way or "sublime" as did Jesus Christ, (an allusion). In the end, the narrator imagines what Sydney Carton would say. Before Sydney dies, he meets a seamstress who is very poor. She asks him to hold her hand and kisses him as she is sent to the guillotine as well. (The seamstress ties in with the weaving of the golden thread and Madame Defarge's knitting)

Are you asking about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the Church of Jesus Christ? The Church of Jesus Christ is another name for Christianity, and was obviously founded by Jesus Christ. There may of course be individual Christian churches with the name "The Church of Jesus Christ", which were probably started by the pastors or parishoners. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Christian denomination, it is founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ but was started by Joseph Smith.
