frustrated alcoholic, but then turns out to be a very noble and genuine man.
Sydney Carton is also shown in the novel to be somewhat immature in his actions
and thoughts.
Throughout the book, Sydney Carton does not always act or seem like he
is the age that he is. He is depicted in the novel to be middle-age, perhaps in
his mid-forties, yet several times he shows some very immature actions and
feelings. One example is his feelings for Lucie Manette. Even after Lucie is
married to Charles Darnay, whom she loves, Sydney refuses to give up his love
