Line 160:
Many have felt that Carton and Darnay are [[doppelgängers]], which Eric Rabkin defines as a pair "of characters that together, represent one psychological persona in the narrative".<ref>[[#refRabkin2007|Rabkin 2007]], course booklet p. 48</ref> If so, they would prefigure such works as [[Robert Louis Stevenson]]'s ''[[Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde]]''. Darnay is worthy and respectable but dull (at least to most modern readers), Carton disreputable but magnetic.
One can only suspect whose psychological persona it is that Carton and Darnay together embody (if they do), but it is often thought to be the psyche of Dickens himself. Dickens was quite aware that between them, Carton and Darnay shared his own initials.<ref>[[#refSchlicke2008|Schlicke 2008]], p. 53</ref> i like dude
