A Tale Of 2 Citiez

About A Tale Of 2 Citiez

"A Tale of Two Cities" is a novel by Charles Dickens, set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. Some of its major themes–rebellion, conflict between rich and poor, coming to political consciousness–hover in the background of J. Cole’s song. He is telling a story of one city, but from two different perspectives. Both characters are young men who want to escape the city and be more fortunate, but they try to achieve this by different means. .
