Mobs Part II

Dear Decathletes:

Take a close look at Chapter 6 (Hundreds of People) starting on page 92.

There are more indirect references to mobs. In this chapter, the characters look out a window at the London crowds moving on the street.

While they are watching the crowd there is also thunder and lightning.

By juxtaposing thunder/lightning and crowds, Dickens is once again trying to foreshadow the power of unruly mobs. He is trying to foreshadow how mobs will act unruly in the French Revolution.

Stay tuned for more references to mobs.
