What are some significant examples of doubling throughout the story, other than the opposed doubles of Lucie Manette and the alike doubles of...

The beginning paragraph sets up the theme of doubles (“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times,” etc.). The family friends, the solicitor Mr. Stryver and Jarvis Lorry, are also doubles. Mr. Stryver looks to Lucie as a possible romantic attachment and wife, while Mr. Lorry looks on her as a surrogate daughter. While both intend the best for her, their motives are different, one being self-serving and the other being selfless.

Monsieur Defarge and Mr. Lorry can also be seen as opposites. Both have been in positions of service to Doctor Manette. Monsieur Defarge’s loyalty to the revolution can be seen as of a pair with Mr. Lorry’s loyalty to Tellson’s bank. While this loyalty is strong, they do not go as far in defending these institutions as does Madame Defarge. There is a limit to their defense of these institutions.

Another example of doubling can be found in Miss Pross and Madame Defarge. Miss Pross is willing to give her life to save Lucie, while Madame Defarge is willing to give her own life to destroy Lucie. Madame Defarge is killed by Miss Pross, while Miss Pross loses her hearing because of the gunshot that killed Madame Defarge.
