it depends on how you see one of them

Marquis st. evermonde was killed by Gaspard (the tall joker who wrote blood on the wall and who's son was ran over by marquis's carriage)

the other brother was Charles Darnay's father

we never see much about him in the book except when dr. manette's letter was read

so we don't really know how and why but he is dead and that is why Marquis the younger brother rules France

Mr. Lorry checks into a inn for the night upon his arrival in Dover.

Eddie Stobart does not have a lorry named Kelly. Eddie Stobart's lorries are typically given female names, but Kelly is not one of them.

Madame Defarge stated that Lucie Manette and her daughter would be the next people she would denounce in "A Tale of Two Cities."

One example would be the introduction.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Dickens's doubling technique functions not only to draw oppositions, but to reveal hidden parallels. Carton, for example, initially seems a foil to Darnay; Darnay as a figure reminds him of what he could have been but has failed to become. By the end of the novel, however, Carton transforms himself from a good-for-nothing to a hero whose goodness equals or even surpasses that of the honorable Darnay. While the two men's physical resemblance initially serves only to underscore Carton's moral inferiority to Darnay, it ultimately enables Carton's supremely self-elevating deed, allowing him to disguise himself as the condemned Darnay and die in his place. As Carton goes to the guillotine in his double's stead, he raises himself up to, or above, Darnay's virtuous status.

Sydney Carton asks Charles Darnay to write the letter as part of his plan to switch places with Darnay and sacrifice himself in his place. By having Darnay write the letter, Carton ensures that there is a written record of Darnay's cooperation, which will help ensure his own plan's success.

Lucie Manette first appeared in chapter 2. It is when Mr. Lorry told Lucie about Dr. Manette not dead. In fact he was in prison. Dr. Mantette was just released from prison and is in the Defarges' wine shop

The theme of the book is "redemption."

The characters Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay cross paths, and in time Carton is moved to exhibit the noble character to which Darnay aspires.

Dr. Manette tells Lucie that he was imprisoned in the Bastille for 18 years, and that he was brought out of prison by a fellow prisoner, Alexandre Manette, who had passed away. He reveals that he was wrongly imprisoned and had been kept in solitary confinement, which had caused him great suffering and mental anguish.

Sydney Carton is not at all a fan of Stryvers self-flattery and self aggrandizement nor is he fond of his treatment of Lucie. Carton uses his superior wit to verbally crush Stryver, who is actually a bit slow and never really understands.

Jarvis Lorry is a character in Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities." He is a reliable and loyal employee at Tellson's Bank. He is known for his practical nature and dedication to his work, which contrasts with his sentimental side that emerges later in the story.
