DENOUEMENT
The story comes to an end with the beheading of assumed Darnay, but actual Carton. A seamstress that Carton had met and is also supposed to be beheaded hopes that the New Republic will be better for everyone then kisses Darnay and peacefully walks forward to hear death. Carton then follows suit, though the narrator mentions that when Carton died, he had a peaceful look on his face, because he knew that for once in his life he was doing something for a purpose, though it was the last thing he ever did.
