Tale of Two Cities
Cearra Keller
Evil actions can be done for the greater good but it does not always mean it’s justifiable. When Adolph Hitler came into power in WWII he did it because he wanted Germany to succeed. He admired Germany but when he started mass killing people he crossed the line of acceptable and unjust. It was also not okay in the Iraq war for soldiers to torture and humiliate prisoners either. It was unjust and evil. In the book Tale of Two Cities by Charles dickens, the characters Madam Defarge, Gaspard and the Marquis made evil actions just like these people. Evil intentions are not always for the greater good they can be for the need to get revenge. Madam Defarge made many demonic actions on other people in this book. When Madam Defarge hung Foulon at the Bastille She did it for the greater good and it was justifiable because the man would have allowed many people to starve. The act of imprisoning and guillotining Darnay was wrong. She accused him for being related to the Marquis and was just trying to get revenge. Madam Defarge did not justify her actions, she just wanted revenge and that is why it led to her downfall. Gaspard Also was a person who wanted revenge on an oppressor. When the Monsieur the Marquis ran over Gaspard's son he never apologized and even got angry because he could have injured his horses. Later Gaspard went to the Marquis and killed him in his sleep. However this action was justifiable because the man killed his son and felt no compassion and was an even man. Gaspard was also one of the people who didn’t do it for the greater good, they did it for revenge. Monsieur the Marquis was more unjust and evil these any other character. He made many bad decisions and none of them were acceptable. When the Marquis raped Madam Defarge’s sister and killed her family it was very demonic and unjustifiable because they did nothing to him and he just killed them. When he ran over Gaspard’s son he didn’t even care and he was upset because he
