A Tale of Two Cities
As the blood drips from the blade of death, and as the jury dictates the length of life, justice is all that is sought. Justice is God's, and God is justice. The question stands that, "How is justice a theme in this book?", the answer is rather simple, yet it is far deeper then the language that describes it. For the answer is God, and God is justice! But how can that be when there is an obvious injustice about this entire book, such as the poor child being trampled to death by the horses of the rich man, or the innocent being put to death by the guillotine. How is this justice? Romans 13:1-7 simply states that all "authority has been instituted by God," and that ll authority is how God uses justice. Thus justice will be carried out by authority and authority is carried out by God. The theme throughout this book is justice because it is God's people, that he has
ordained to be in power, that are carrying out His orders. The poor whom have killed and taken power of France are now the justice system, and therefore they are the new authority, which then makes them instituted by God.

Charles Dickens used only one source to create a historical fiction piece that inundated culture with one view of the french revolution. thus, a strong reminder is needed that this is a fictional work and not a factual Piece.
