Identify Sydney Carton's role in the novel, physical description, and adjectives to describe his traits.

John Gross quote 'Sydney Carton a far more, striking
figure'. Carton plays the decisive role in the novel. Its Sydney who saved Darnay's life
from the laws of death and gives immense relief to the affected family. As a man he was
brilliant, he was talented, he was highly intellegent, he was noble, yet he was lonely
man. In his school dayshe voluntarilt worked out the class exercises for other students,
but had not mind. Then he took to drinking, but nobody ever saw him drunk. Even after
taking large quantities of wines, his brain was sharp, and Stryver picked his brains to
build up his own reputation and win the cases and to swell his bank balance. Carton's
genius isolates him from the crowd. He had no ambition. He had no illusion about life.
Never does he wear mask. Perhaps he exaggerates his faults and follies, when he told
Lucy that he "Like one who died young". He told her that he is a wastrel, a profligate,
a drunkard. Though he was addicted to wine but his moral sense was never daedened.
Sydney as a man of action became a Christ like figure, sacrificing his life for the
misguided humanity and dreaming of a better and nobler world. He expiates for the sins
of the revolutionaries. Before facinf the guillotine, he inspires a poor seamstress,
clinging to him for moral support. He calls her his sister and inspired her to face the
death to have life enternal. and when his turn came, he quietly says, "It is a far, far
better thing that i do, than i have ever done; it is far far better rest that i go than
i have ever known".It was a voluntary self sacrifice, and hence there was dignity, there
was humanity in his death, but no tragic pathos. Thus, Carton plyed an importat role in
the novel, without him the novel would be flat. He helps to progress the novel. The
novel supplies very gloomy and dark side dut it is Sidney who ends the novel with bright
dreams ana positive hopes for the future.
