I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.

The stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, privilege and oppression, mirror modern societal divides seen in global protests, revolutions, and movements for equality.

In today’s world, A Tale of Two Cities resonates through its portrayal of class struggles, political unrest, and the fight for justice. Dickens’ themes highlight how history often repeats itself when injustice remains unaddressed.
