Theme ideas in A Tale of Two Cities?i need ideas for themes in this novel, and three quotes that go along with the theme! thankyouuuu! :D

Victorian writer Charles Dickens used his contemporary's,
Thomas Carlyle's The French Revolution:  A History as his primary
source for his novel, A Tale of Two Cities.  In so doing, Dickens
adopted the philosophy of Carlyle that chaotic events demanded "heroes" to take control
over competing forces erupting within society.  Without denying the importance of
practical and economic explanations, Carlyle perceived these forces as "spiritual"--the
hopes and aspirations of people that took the form of
ideas.

One of the ideas that took form for Dickens after
reading the work of Carlysle is that of resurrection, the
recalling to life of the "heroes" needed to compete against the forces of the French
peasants. Two such heroes are Dr. Manette and the unlikely dissipater, Sydney Carton. 
For these two men, the French revolution acts the force which gives rise to their heroic
natures.  On the one hand, Dr. Manette, who has been "recalled to life," returns to
France as a hero who has been released from imprisonment in the Bastille to effect the
release of his son-in-law, Charles Darnay.  And, on the other hand, the wayward Sydney
Carton finds direction to his life in his love for Lucy with the Revolution.  Carton
rises as a hero, the sacrificial victim in place of Charles Darnay, who is then able to
return to his wife Lucie. He is Charles Darnay's resurrection:  "I am the resurrection
and the life." In Carton's death, his life is resurrected as it gains value, a value it
did not hitherto possess.  Indeed, Carton is the spiritual form Carlyle envisioned in
the hero who would combat such chaotic times as the French Revolution:  As he
contemplates his self-sacrifice, Carton recalls the words he recalls having heard at a
funeral with his mother:

...he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live:  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
die.

Even humorously, with
the "resurrection man" Jerry Cruncher who digs up graves for profit, the theme of
Resurrection courses through the narrative of A Tale of Two Cities
until the spiritual heroes, Dr. Manette and Sydney Carton, arise to defeat
the chaotic events of the Revolution in the persons of Madame Defarge and John Basard,
and the Vengeance. Indeed, it is a wonderful tale of two cities and the heroes from each
that are resurrected.
