Question

Return to Chapter 16, “Still Knitting,” and find a statement of Madame Defarge that clearly represents her views on the revolution. Record the quotation and explain it.

Answer 1

In Chapter 16, Madame Defarge states to her husband that laying the groundwork for monumental change takes a long time, once it happens, it will be unstoppable like an earthquake or lightning. This passage clearly represents her views on the revolution because she sympathizes with her husband's impatience but does not waver from her belief in the cause.
