In Charles Dickens' novel A Tale Of Two Cities, Sydney Carton is a man
             of several distinct characteristics. Carton is shown originally to be a
             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
             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

             Several times in the novel he indulged in his drinking to the point of becoming
             drunk or close to it. Many times that he is seen, he is drinking wine or has a
             flask of liquor in his hand. This may keep him calm or help him to remain
             composed in the court, but it becomes more to the point of being a necessity or
             habit. Also, his drinking causes him to be loose with his tongue when he is
             with Charles Darnay after the trial, which makes Charles angry with him. This
             behavior was very ill-mannered and could have been prevented to give Sydney
