    The spirit firstly takes him into the city beside a ‘knot of businessmen’ who is discussing the death of a fellow businessman with little emotion. The second visit is at a pawn shop where a charwoman, laundress and undertaker are all trading in items that Scrooge recognizes as his own without showing concern for what they were doing. He is next taken to see a corpse where he refuses to uncover the veil of the body but demands to see if the death of the man is cared about by anyone, with which he sees a family who are happy with the death. The fifth visit is at the Cratchit’s house where the family tenderly mourn the death of Tiny Tim but the final and foremost visit passes his empty counting house into a dreary graveyard where he sees his own grave. At this point, Scrooge breaks down in front of the Spirit, begging and pleading; ‘I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.’ His cries of forgiveness, full of remorse, end along with the Stave when the graveyard transformed back into his…

    In A Tale of Two Cities, it took Lucie to awaken Manette from his death-like stupor. Her love was the catalyst for his return to society. “Only his daughter had the power of charming this black brooding from his mind. She was the golden thread that united him to a Past beyond his misery, and to a Present beyond his misery: and the sound of her voice, the light of her face, the touch of her hand, had a strong beneficial influence with him almost always,” (Dicken, 84). In this situation Lucie could symbolize Jesus, in the sense that she brought Manette back from the dead. Not only was Jesus resurrected in the Bible, he also brought people back to life. The story of Lazarus is a prime instance where Jesus uses his power of resurrection to bring people back to life. Overall, Manette’s resurrection significantly enhanced the novel. The power of love seen between father and daughter is so potent that it enables Manette to overcome his personal trauma. Furthemore, that love highlights just how valuable family relationships can be. Finally, it shows that everyone can redeem themselves and start anew (“Character Analysis Doctor Alexandre…
