<P> Resurrection is a major theme in the novel . In Jarvis Lorry 's thoughts of Dr. Manette , resurrection is first spotted as a theme . It is also the last theme : Carton 's sacrifice . Dickens originally wanted to call the entire novel Recalled to Life . ( This instead became the title of the first of the novel 's three `` books '' . ) Jerry is also part of the recurring theme : he himself is involved in death and resurrection in ways the reader does not yet know . The first piece of foreshadowing comes in his remark to himself : `` You 'd be in a blazing bad way , if recalling to life was to come into fashion , Jerry ! '' The black humour of this statement becomes obvious only much later on . Five years later , one cloudy and very dark night ( in June 1780 ) , Mr. Lorry reawakens the reader 's interest in the mystery by telling Jerry it is `` Almost a night ... to bring the dead out of their graves '' . Jerry responds firmly that he has never seen the night do that . </P>
