Imperial Illustrator A Tale of Two Turbans, Ch 6-11 Bk 2

"But, when his nephew, leaning an elbow on the table, covered his eyes thoughtfully and dejectedly with his hand, the fine mask looked at him sideways with a stronger concentration of keenness, closeness, and dislike, than was comportable with its wearer's assumption of indifference" (117).

I picked this quote to draw because I believe it encompasses the relationship that the Marquis has with his nephew.  The nephew, whom I believe Dickens said was Darnay, mostly has a down relationship with his uncle.  As much as he dislikes his uncle, he does think about what he has to say.  With this, the Marquis also regards his nephew with suspicion, as if he doesn't know what he's thinking about.  Each is skeptical of the other, which leads to mistrust.  Also, the fact that a mask is mentioned leads me to believe that the Marquis is hiding something from the nephew, something that may be important.

Hey Joe nice picture! Ok so I agree that love is present within this quote. This shows how relationships are merging. That love can over come hatred. I think this quote is evidence that Charles Dickens believes that love overpowers hate and misery. That love will emerge even during the hardest times. Family is the most important thing, not greed or money.
