Question

i have to do a research paper on propoganda. part of it is that i am supposed to tell how it relates to the book "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens, but i don't see the connection?

Answer 1

There are many ways to look at it. You can look at what the peasants in France were trying to achieve, mainly an end to the oppression and poverty seen throughout the book. The revolutionary leaders used propaganda to inspire the revolution, yet their means to achieve their goals were just as cruel and heartless as the means used by the rulers they meant to overthrow. Propaganda sounds like common sense on the surface, yet you must look at the true goals of those using the propaganda.

Answer 2

Fictionalized Propaganda. Proletariat Propaganda.

In A tale of two cities there was this poor fella, for example. He was so poor: he always had rust on his fingers from the job he had, so he chewed his own rusty fingers, and thus had breakfast.
