Answer: To French revolutionaries, the guillotine symbolized the equality they were fighting for. They thought it was an efficient and equal way to kill people. In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens demonstrates that it really symbolizes how the revolution got out of hand. Victims of the guillotine met death quickly, seemingly painlessly, and all the while being afforded the dignity of a noble death. In these ways, the guillotine represented the leveling of society that the revolutionaries sought, in both life and death. The Enlightenment, a philosophical movement that dominated in Europe during the 18th century, was centered around the idea that reason is the primary source of authority and legitimacy, and advocated such ideals as liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state.
