He first appears as a lazy, alcoholic lawyer who has no real prospect in life and seems there is no pursuit of things But I can sense, even in the initial chapter of the novel, Carton in fact feels something that he perhaps cannot articulate.

And that also shows his love feeling for the gentle girl. Eventually, Carton reaches a point where he can admit his feeling to Lucie himself. Before Lucie marries Darnay, Carton professes his love to her, though he still persists in seeing himself as essentially worthless. This scene marks a vital transition for Carton and lays the fundation for surpreme sacrifice .
