[双城记读后感]
为了你，为了你所亲爱的任何人，我愿意作任何事情，双城记读后感。倘若我的生涯中有值得牺牲的可能和机会，我甘愿为你和你所爱的人们而牺牲。----------西德尼.卡尔顿
就这样被感动了。有人说爱情是自私的，但在狄更斯的小说《双城记》中，我能感受到一种超脱世俗的最纯洁、最崇高的爱。它隐藏在内心，但却无比的深厚；它默默地承受与煎熬，为的是使它维系的人幸福；它总是无私地付出，而不求一丁点儿的回报。这种爱在无形中上升到一个新境界，放出凄美而运人的光彩，成为了经典------引起人们对它的重新理解，带给人们最真、最切的情感体验。
《双城记》是一部波澜壮阔的历史与感人肺腑的爱情故事的交织体。全书充溢着扑朔迷离的色彩，正映照了当代的时代气息。它用一连串引人入胜的故事作为杠架，细致地描写了法国大革命的前因后果，成就和错误，而主人公西德尼.卡尔顿、露西.曼内特和查尔斯.达尔内之间的真挚的情感成为亮丽的一笔。
小说中的主要人物有性格都十分鲜明，在每个人的身上蕴含着一种单纯的情感。曼内特是个深爱女儿的父亲，在历经磨难后仍然宽容地将心爱的女儿嫁给仇人的儿子。露西是温柔善良的典型的贤妻良母，为了可能让丈夫看到自己一眼，每天下午风雨无阻地到大墙对面站两个小时。达尔内正直、豁达，是个在当时社会少有的贵族，他为了自己神圣的目标和真挚的爱情，放弃了爵位与财产；为了搭救老管家而只身回到险象环生的法国。小说中还有一个人物，也就是那个有点令人憎恶的泰雷兹.德伐日了。但是她也是极其悲剧意味的人，失去亲人的悲惨经历使她从一开始就苦大仇深，在她看来，活着的意义就是在革命胜利到来之时为死去的亲人报仇，可是等到革命胜利时，她许多年来梦寐以求的复仇却失去了对象，她的愤怒之深是可以想象的，然而为了发泄积愤却拿侯爵兄弟的儿子及其家人抵罪，她走上了一条与那些伪贵族同样残忍的道路，于是她的种种行为使她一步步失去了读者同情与谅解，读后感《双城记读后感》。而小说的戏剧性在于，泰雷斯因为手枪走火而结束了她那咄咄逼人的生命，也许这才是她最佳的结局。
在《双城记》中，我最喜欢的，也是令我最为感动的人是律师助手西德尼.卡尔顿------他的长相与查尔斯.达尔内一模一样，但两者的命运却截然不同。他第一次出现在读者面前就与众不同。当贝勒满法庭上的人若无其事地望着天花板。当观众由于长期的积怨盼望着一场杀人活剧上演，而他的一张字条揭穿了隐蔽在案件背后的阴谋。他一出场就带了一身忧郁，隐去了光芒却总是灰心、失望、冷漠、凄凉。他妥协于周围环境，但有时却显得格格不入，作为律师他才华出众，却甘心情愿躲在人后，做别人成功的垫脚石，他仿佛亲手筑起了一堵墙，隔绝了自己与名、与利、与社会，默默地逗留在角落里。他曾说说：我是个绝望了的苦力，我不关心世上任何人，也没有任何人关心我。他的悲剧在于，他太小看自己，似乎有点自卑，因此放任了自己，又因为放任而感到绝望。他是个很有才华，感情深厚的人，却无法用那才华和情感为自己获得幸福。
他爱上了露西，却不愿去追求，他内心的善良使他担心自己难免使她痛苦，悲哀和侮辱，拖着她一起堕落。于是他把爱情隐藏在心里，宁可痛苦地徘徊在午夜的街口，压抑着心中热烈的感情与无尽的思念。他的爱是无私的，奉献的，他满足于偶尔看看自己朝思暮想的人儿，他羡慕达尔内，他恨他，但在痛苦情绪纠缠中，他依旧带着诚挚的祝福，愿他们永远幸福，因为爱常常比恨更为强有力得多。这个表面上懒散，放纵，好贪杯的无用之徒，内心却是个极崇高，极纯洁的人。最后，他向露西表达了爱情，那段话是我一直铬记在心的，每次读起，都不免心中感到酸楚，如果他能多给自己一点儿信心，或许这个悲剧也不会如此的伤人。我希望你知道你是我灵魂的最后的梦。我是在堕落的生活中见到了你和你的父亲，还有你所经营的这个甜蜜的家，才恢复了我心中自以为早已死灰的往日的梦想。我也因此才感到比任何时候都要凄凉可怜。自从我见到你以后，我才为一种原以为不会再谴责我的悔恨所苦恼。我听到我以为早已永远沉默的往日的声音在悄悄地催我上进。我曾有过许多没有成形的想法：重新奋起，改弦更张，摆脱懒散放纵的习惯，把放弃了的斗争进行下去可那只是个梦，整个儿是个梦，一个没有结果的梦，醒来时还躺在原来的地方，不过我仍希望你知道你曾唤起过我这样的梦。
西德尼.卡尔顿对露西.曼内特深沉的爱是催人泪下的，他崇高的人格是撼人心魄的。他这种崇高的情感是我们难以想象的，他最终得到了心灵的平静，作了祭坛上的牺牲，带着最美的情感告别了所爱的人，他死了吗？不！他是爱、勇敢、反对压迫的精灵，他以自己的方式热烈地向时代呐喊，他会得到永生。小说以一个意外的大团圆收场，但是当读者流着眼泪读完时，却感到无限地遗憾辛酸。
　　〔双城记读后感〕随文赠言：【这世上的一切都借希望而完成，农夫不会剥下一粒玉米，如果他不曾希望它长成种粒；单身汉不会娶妻，如果他不曾希望有孩子；商人也不会去工作，如果他不曾希望因此而有收益。】

A tragedy of the history
Crazily,but truthfully,I finished reading the most part of the novel "A Tale of Two Cities" in just one day.Lost in the story,I felt like being together with the characters and experiencing the same exciting events.Soon it came to an end.To tell you my feelings,it's infinite sadness and a strong emotion that can drive me to cry.
The story is set in London and Paris at the time of the great French Revolution.It shows the causes of revolution and its effects on people's day-to-day lives.Before the revolution,the King and the aristocracy treated their people cruelly in France.The common people were extremely poor and miserable.The crops in the fields were poor as if even the land shared the misery of the people.And there were so heavy taxes that all the villagers had nothing to hand over at last.On the other hand,the aristocracy made their will as the law by using money and gold.There were no justice,no equality and no fairness.Just as what happened to Dr Manette,he wrote to the Minister to show the crime what Marquis Evremonde had done,resulting in himself being arrested and sent to the prison Bastille without any reason.
