Chapter 22 de 45 · Book 2: The Golden Thread · 9 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 22, Defarge announces that Foulon has faked his death, and the people of Saint Antoine seize and kill him before also killing his son-in-law. Their shared triumph brings fellowship but no relief from hunger, while Madame Defarge suggests that their work remains incomplete.
Qué sucede
- A week into Saint Antoine’s triumph, its hungry inhabitants show a new confidence in their power to kill.
- Defarge reports that Foulon is alive and under arrest, and The Vengeance helps summon an armed crowd.
- At the Hôtel de Ville, Madame Defarge encourages the crowd’s anger against Foulon, whose bonds carry grass.
- The crowd drags Foulon outside, hangs him after two ropes break, and displays his head with grass in his mouth.
- Toward evening, the people also kill Foulon’s son-in-law and parade his head and heart alongside Foulon’s head.
- The inhabitants return to hungry children and scant meals, while Madame Defarge treats the uprising’s achievement as incomplete.
