Charles Dickens, the greatest novelist of the Victorian period, is well known for his skillful use of irony in moments of coincidence and chance in his stories. In one of his most famous books, A Tale of Two Cities, he showcases this skill by making small connections between different characters throughout the story. These tiny connections end up playing important and distorting roles in the story. Dickens's use of coincidence and chance weaves and enhances the plot, prompting readers to think about how all the precise details come into play as the plot thickens and shows that even the smallest detail can change a person's destiny. Dickens's competent use of coincidental irony is demonstrated through detailed descriptions of the characters, the relationships between the characters, and their intertwined stories. The chance resemblance between a lawyer's assistant and a Frenchman accused of treason ends up saving an innocent man's life. Charles Darnay, of French origin, made numerous trips between England and France, but cannot realize the work he accomplished. During Charles Darnay's treason trial, Sydney Carton, Darnay's assistant lawyer, accidentally noticed a very similar resemblance between him and Charles. Dickens writes, “They were sufficiently alike to surprise not only the witness, but all present, when they were thus compared” (Dickens 55). When everyone in the courthouse realizes the similarities between the men and that Darnay has no distinguishing features to prove his guilt, it becomes clear that the man accused of espionage could easily have been another man, which saves the life of Charles Darnay. After a long conversation between acquitted Charles...... middle of paper ...... detailed descriptions of the characters, the relationships between the characters and their intertwined stories, Dickens conveys the idea of ​​irony through coincidence and chance using exquisite details. . By spreading these coincidences throughout the story, the reader has become so absorbed in other areas of the plot that they fail to realize the significant impact these connections have on the story. These coincidences changed the fates of many characters and created suspenseful situations within the book. Without irony, many of the story's subplots would have had no basis, such as the fate of Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay and their family. If you really look closely, coincidences in life are far too common, and as they increase over time, the mind begins to open to new possibilities, which are more than random events..
