Question

Why has charles darnay given up his inheritance? What is his uncle's reaction to his decision?

Answer 1

In Tale of Two Cities Charles Darnay is the nephew of the Marquis de Everemonde, who was the typical rich person who does not care about others or their needs. Charles's disappointment at the way his family had obtained wealth led him to abandon his inheritance and reconsider whether it was worth taking advantage of others to obtain a good position in society. For this reason, he decided to leave France to restart his life without the oppressive and cruel actions of his family. His uncle, surprised by the decision of Charles, said that it was not possible to abandon his inheritance because it was not possible to leave his family bond even if he was in another country.
