 1836,Dickens became famous with bet365 bonus code pa collection of essays "The Essays of Boz",However,bet365 bonus code pa first attempt after success was not to write novels,Create a script instead。Dickens had an abiding interest in early English drama,bet365 bonus code pa connection with Ben Johnson is often discussed。Even after turning to novel writing,Dickens also always seized every opportunity to rehearse plays and perform on stage。He always longs to be "someone else",Experience the feelings of different characters。He can bring all kinds of characters to life,Sometimes even one person plays several roles。August-September 1852,He led the troupe to visit northern England,Gigs in Manchester only,The audience reached 4,000 people。bet365 bonus code pa acting talent is more recognized than bet365 bonus code pa writing talent。

Inspiration for some of Dickens’ novels,Experiences directly derived from or related to drama,For example, the creation of "A Tale of Two Cities"。He explained in the preface to "A Tale of Two Cities": "When my children and I、When friends performed Mr. Wilkie Collins' play "In the Heart bet365 bonus code pa Ice",I'm starting to get the main idea for this story。”The influence of drama creation and performance experience on the creation of Dickens’ novels,You can get a glimpse bet365 bonus code pa whole thing from "A Tale of Two Cities"。The actor's temperament in his character also gives his creations great drama,This kind of drama is injected into the characters in his works。Those amplified in his novels、Slightly exaggerated events and emotions,It’s very dramatic。As a novel dedicated to showing the changes bet365 bonus code pa times and historical events,"A Tale of Two Cities" is extremely dramatic。This kind of drama,deeply penetrates into the character creation and scene design bet365 bonus code pa novel。

  Characterization: bet365 bonus code pa, reversal and suspense

Characters are the soul of novels,It is also the soul of drama。But,These two literary genres have different requirements for the characters’ action logic。In the novel,The creation of characters focuses on reflecting their internal unity and coherence in the development bet365 bonus code pa plot;And in drama,Character、Actions and relationships occur within specific dramatic situations,And the purpose is to create dramatic tension between situations,So sometimes it seems more exaggerated and broken。As Pearson noted in his biography of Dickens,"Dickens from head to toe、An actor inside and out。His character,His comedy works,His emotions are dramatic”。And this kind of drama,First reflected in the characters in his novels。

Dickens’s portrayal of certain novel characters、Design of character relationships,Contains his deep understanding of dramatic tension。The so-called dramatic tension,It is the tension between the parts bet365 bonus code pa play,This tension is often formed between the situation that arises at any time and the completed action。S.W.Dawson in "On Drama and Drama",The suspense、Surprise as two bet365 bonus code pa simpler means of creating dramatic tension。These means,Can also be easily found in Dickens’ novels。

"A Tale of Two Cities" demonstrates Dickens' penchant for drama more than any other novel,This is consistent with the historical drama that the novel wants to express。The dramatic characteristics bet365 bonus code pa characters are mainly reflected in three aspects: the coincidence bet365 bonus code pa character relationship design、A surprising reversal bet365 bonus code pa character、The tension bet365 bonus code pa characters’ fate hanging in the balance。

First,It’s a coincidence in the character relationship design。Charles Darner in love with Mademoiselle Manette,In the development bet365 bonus code pa second half bet365 bonus code pa novel,Discovered that he happens to be the nephew bet365 bonus code pa French nobleman who caused Dr. Manet's misfortune eighteen years ago。For Dr. Manette,Accept Darna,Meaning that there is no way to get justice for the eighteen years wasted;Darna not accepted,My daughter’s happiness will be destroyed by herself。The intertwining of love and hate,It is undoubtedly a huge test for Dr. Manette。This dramatic tension,Based on a pure coincidence。Darna could have been anyone’s nephew,But Dickens chose to make him a descendant of Manette’s old “enemy”。Because of such a coincidence,Can express the mutual transformation and conflict between love and hatred more vividly。When Dr. Manette faced the fanatical revolutionaries in the future,First he was highly regarded because bet365 bonus code pa suffering he suffered in the old system,Then he was pulled down from the altar for "covering" the son-in-law of a fugitive nobleman。In addition,The similarity in appearance between Darna and lawyer Caton,It’s purely a coincidence。But it is precisely based on this coincidental similarity,Caton saved Darna from death twice: the first time was before the Great Revolution,Darna was prosecuted for treason by British spies;The second time was after the Great Revolution,Darna was sentenced to death by French patriots for being a fugitive nobleman。If it were not a coincidence,In the end, it is impossible for Caton to use the dressing method to help Darna escape from his shell。

Secondly,It is the surprising reversal and mutation bet365 bonus code pa character。Characters written by Dickens,Sometimes my temperament changes drastically,And this kind of temperament changes,To understand in a specific dramatic situation。In A Tale of Two Cities,This specific situation,Often manifested as dramatic turning moments in history。The dramatic change in Dr. Manette’s temperament is the most striking。Dr. Manette was released from prison after eighteen years of imprisonment,Long-term suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder,Always someone who needs care and love;But,Testify in court,When trying to save Darna who was sentenced to death,Dr. Manette seems to have become a different person,He became calm、Confidence: “He knows,The sufferings bet365 bonus code pa past gave him strength,His daughter and friends look forward to his strength to keep Darna safe,and released。This change made him extremely excited,Now he is standing in front to lead them,Give them direction,Ask them to be weak,Believe in him, a strong man。”That’s it,Dr. Manette has changed from a weak person to a strong person,And behind the sudden change in his personality,It is the empowerment bet365 bonus code pa great changes bet365 bonus code pa times,Let him rise from the position bet365 bonus code pa persecuted to the position bet365 bonus code pa admired。

However,Lawyer Caton’s character changes,But it is not directly related to the dramatic changes in history,It is more closely related to Dickens’ dramatic emotional investment in characters。Katon has a very similar appearance to Darna,But his character when he appeared was in sharp contrast to Darna。Darna Brave、Decisive,Stuck but indecisive、Careless,Even once gave up on oneself。Caton appeared soon,Dickens once gave him a close-up: in a hotel,He picked up a candle,Talking to myself in the mirror (Part 2, Chapter 4 "Celebration")。This soliloquy takes the form of a dramatic monologue,Like talking to the audience on stage,Katon allowed all readers to listen to his dissatisfaction and even curses about himself。But he is just such a person,Finally, inspired and motivated by love,In order to save the husband Darna bet365 bonus code pa beloved Miss Manette,Become determined and courageous、Selfless and fearless,Finally gave his life。And such a drastic change in personality,Completed almost overnight (Part 3, Chapter 8 "Fighting Cards"),The huge contrast before and after the change,Amazing。It is this huge contrast、Dramatic changes,Has a strong attraction to Dickens, who loves performing。

Finally,The unresolved fate bet365 bonus code pa characters brings continuous tension。The most striking example of this is the fate of Darna。Darna was once a French nobleman,Later gave up the nobility status,Change name and surname,Come to the UK to be self-reliant。After the outbreak bet365 bonus code pa French Revolution,He received a letter asking for help from his former servant。The old servant was arrested because he had served the Marquis and his family,The letter tearfully asked Darna to come forward to save him。Out of deep guilt,Darna went to Paris alone,Trying to rescue the old servant by oneself。Not long after he arrived in Paris,Arrested and imprisoned for fleeing from a noble family。The day of execution is imminent。Can Darna be rescued?The mystery about his fate,Continues from the first chapter bet365 bonus code pa third part to the thirteenth chapter (a total of fifteen chapters)。A persistent tension hangs over the narrative of Part Three,This tension is created by Darna's unresolved fate。

  bet365 bonus code pa design: focus, amplification and enhancement

Situation is the core element of drama,And the scene is the basis for situation generation。Dramatic scene,Let the audience be immersed bet365 bonus code pa scene、At the same time stay out of it,Both participant and observer。Dickens is very good at creating novel scenes with a sense of stage space。This kind of novel scene,It often takes place in a space with clear boundaries as the background。Dickens often reveals and conceals through color、The brightness and darkness of light、Contrast of sound strength and weakness,Draw a clear dividing line between the central scene space and the surrounding background space。The opening and the appearance of important characters in Dickens's novel,Often appears in scenes with a sense of stage space。

As the drama critic said,“The opening scene in a play is the most important,Because they define the situation from which the entire action develops,And establishes the center of attention that the play demands,Our attention will be focused on this center”。Dickens clearly understood this,No effort was spared in the design bet365 bonus code pa opening。The story of Paris as one bet365 bonus code pa “Twin Cities”,Start from the Saint-Antoine district,The story bet365 bonus code pa Saint-Antoine district revolves around a hotel。Like an ever-advancing lens,Dickens finally focused on a wine truck preparing to unload in front bet365 bonus code pa hotel。This is the beginning of Chapter 5 "Hotel" in the first part bet365 bonus code pa novel: "A large wine barrel fell in the middle bet365 bonus code pa street,Broken。”Like a bolt from the blue,This wine barrel that fell in the middle bet365 bonus code pa street brings readers to the scene bet365 bonus code pa accident,Witnessed wine spilled on the floor causing commotion and carnival at a drinking party。

Saint-Antoine is the poorest neighborhood in Paris,Even the streets are "shrouded in gloom and mist",But in this bleak background,Dickens is like a stage lighting director,Shining the spotlight on the faces bet365 bonus code pa drinkers,Zoom in on their expressions and movements,Make them stand out from the dark background。Thirsty drinkers form the image of all living beings in the Saint-Antoine district,Standing at the center bet365 bonus code pa stage bet365 bonus code pa coming era。A neighborhood dyed with bright red wine,Heralds the coming of a bloody revolutionary era。

In Dickens’ writing,Introduce new characters or highlight the importance of a certain character,Often achieved through spatial separation,That is, the space bet365 bonus code pa new character or protagonist stands out from the background space。As an important clue to maintain the narrative bet365 bonus code pa two cities in the novel,Dr. Manette’s first appearance appeared in the attic with a sense of stage space。Dr. Manette, who was innocently imprisoned for his involvement in the internal disputes of a noble family,Released after being imprisoned for 18 years,Ask the former servant to place him in an airtight room、In the attic where no sunlight is seen。After learning about the release,Lori, the administrator of Dr. Manette’s late wife’s estate, brought Manette’s daughter,Come to visit him。This reunion after eighteen years took place in the attic。

Readers follow in the footsteps of Lori and Miss Manette,Open the attic door,Seeing a large beam of light shining through the half-open window,Fell on Dr. Manette。Dr. Manette, who had spent eighteen years in darkness, was suddenly exposed to strong light,So that readers can be like the two bystanders in the novel、Like the many audiences under the stage,Carefully observe the mark left by eighteen years of imprisonment on Dr. Manette。Dr. Manette stood in the center bet365 bonus code pa stage under the bright light,His every move、Every frown and every frown is magnified,Accept the gaze and observation bet365 bonus code pa audience from the dark place at the edge bet365 bonus code pa stage。

After such processing,Dickens quietly hides the discerning eye bet365 bonus code pa beholder in the darkness,Dr. Manette, who was once shrouded in darkness, was put into the light。Switching through the division of light and dark,Dickens was able to "renovate" the attic into a "temporary theater",Let readers be as immersive as viewers。It’s worth pondering,That beam of light did not make Manette’s dark memories disappear in broad daylight,Opposite,An insurmountable gap in time and space lies between Dr. Manette and the visitors。Everything about Dr. Manette in the past eighteen years,It finally became another unknown world。

Dickens was not only proficient in the secrets of novel creation,Also familiar with the operating rules bet365 bonus code pa drama stage,Thus able to shuttle freely between novels and dramas。This way,Dickens brought the aesthetic rules of drama into novel creation,No surprise。As a critic said: "His work is more the product of excitement than thoughtfulness。He must devote his whole body and soul to it,Like an actor entering the role, breathing the same fate as the characters in the work,And reach the point of being crazy。”
