In chapter 3, Mr. Lorry moves Lucie and Manette to a different location because of fear of drawing danger to Tellson's and leaves Jerry to be their guard. Judging by the title, there has been a shadow cast over Lucie. I believe something bad will happen to either Lucie or Manette, but I am unsure. The Defarges are quickly becoming the people to stay away from. She gives Lucie from Manette, saying that Darney is OK. Madame Defarge is intentionally trying to scare Lucie in order to lessen her as a threat.
As the revolution becomes more and more violent, Manette is still desperate to get Darney out of jail. I am not sure if his perseverance will pay off or not, but for how hard he is trying, i really do hope so. His confidence plays off of how he escaped from Bastille, so he is trying to help Darney the same way he helped himself. During this time, the king and queen are beheaded by the guillotine.
In chapter 5, Lucie talks to a man who has a saw. It seems like she is trying o become friends with him to avoid him. Later, the townspeople are dancing the Carmagnole, a once innocent dance which has been turned "dirty." Lucie is disgusted with this because it is not the way she remembered the dance.
In the next chapter, Darney is aquitted and marched out grandly on a chair. However, the Defarges still want him dead! It is suprising, considering that they don't really even know him. They have connections with Lucie and Manette, but they don't know Darney very well.
