Dear Olympian Eagles:
Did you catch how Dafarge refers to the three guys in his wine shops as the three Jacques? He refers specifically to Jacque number one, two and three.
Just wanted to make sure you understand that the term Jacque refers to French peasants. Calling them all the same name gives them a sense of anonymity--that's how the aristocrats saw them (one peasant looks the same as the other). But once Defarge conspires with the three Jacques, the name Jacque is also used to keep identities secret.
So the use of the name Jacque in A Tale of Two Cities has two purposes.

While I was reading i was thinking about what that meant and i guessed that it might have been a secret code or that they were called Jacque because they were part of an organization.
