Week Three

This is now the third week of reading "A Tale of Two Cities" and so far, the plot is very ordinary, the narrator (3rd Person) is just describing how the lives of all the characters are playing out at that moment. Few new characters have appeared; Mr. Stryyver, Sydney Carton, and Charles Darnay, who appears to be a very prosperous man in France, decided to renounce his property and come to England. So now, the story is beginning to take place in England where all three new characters are asking Miss Mannete to marry him. So here, Mr. Lorry stops Mr. Stryyver to ask Miss Mannete because he thought that Mr. Stryyver was not good enough for the Doctor's daughter. The other two however, had more success in the goal towards marriage. Charles Darnay asked the Doctor, the father of Miss Mannete, whether he approves of him or not. Sydney Carton however tells Miss Mannete if she could like him or not.
The story till now for me seems sort of boring still, but I'm still looking forward to the main plot, if there is one.
