1. Reflect on the scene where Miss Pross and Madame Defarge have their encounter (285-287). What is the significance of this scene? Be sure to refer to the quotation: “It was in vain for Madame Defarge to struggle and strike; Miss Pross, with the vigorous tenacity of love, always so much stronger than hate, clasped her tight, and even lifted her from the floor in the struggle that they had” (286).

2. Analyze the ending of the novel? What is the symbolism behind Carton’s death?
