tale of two cities?

Question

4. The title of Chapter 19 is An Opinion. This chapter is about Mannettes opinion regarding what to do with Lorry’s tools. She decides to get rid of all of his tools, because they are worried it would cause a relapse, because it was the cause of the trauma, therefore it would also cause a relapse.
5. The title of Chapter 21 is Echoing Footsteps, which foreshadows someone echoing(or mimicking) someone else’s footsteps (meaning their lifestyle), therefore the title represents someone wanting to mimic someone else’s lifestyle, or be just like them. In this case it is false foreshadowing because instead, it has to do with Lucie hearing footsteps on the street from the parlor.

are these correct or did i totally misunderstand the purpose?

these are to be turned in and i want lots of input (and anything to add....quotes, incorrect info...)

Answer 1

I don't really see the title of Chapter 21 as "foreshadowing" anything, and as you mention, the notion of mimicking someone's footsteps does not relate to the content of the chapter at all. If I recall, though, there was a suggestion that the footsteps seemed to be echoes through time, a whole history of lives lived in the vicinity.

But there is a relationship to later material: at the end you will find a chapter (25) entitled "The Footsteps Die Out Forever." I think that, as the first "footsteps" chapter was about life, the second is about the end of a life.
