Families are a great place to find love. Families with strong bonds are characterized by unconditional love. No questions are asked. Two of A Tale of Two Cities’ main characters, a father-daughter pair, are the central figures. Lucy, the daughter of Dr. Manette who has been incarcerated for 18 long years, never knew him. Instead of ignoring him, Lucy tries her best to comfort him the moment she sees Dr. Manette. If, when I tell you that a new Home is coming, one where I will serve you faithfully and do my duty, I remind you of the Home which was long abandoned, while your heart longed for it. Weep, weep, for it!

She waited for two hours in every weather, starting at that moment. As the clock struck four, she left.
Lucie’s constant waiting for Charles, even though she knew that he wouldn’t be able to see her but that he would, is a sign of love that is filled with compassion. She knew, despite the fact that waiting for him each day was painful, and she was aware of what was happening with nobles and in prisons, that her love gave Charles comfort and hope.

Lucie confesses her disapproval when Carton confesses love to Lucie. Carton still loves Lucie and saves her husband. “‘Are You Dying for Him?’ She whispered. “And his child and wife. Hush! Yes. ‘”

Carton trades places Darnay with Lucie when he finds out that her husband Charles Darnay has been trapped in Bastille. Darnay’s execution is imminent. It is not only because he loves Lucie that he does it, but mainly due to Charles Darnay’s friendship. Carton became irrational when he began to love Lucie. He could sacrifice everything for Lucie, even saving Darnay, which shows how Lucie’s love has affected his decision-making and emotions.
