“The Resurrection of Joan Ashby” by Cherise Wolas (post 4): In Dickens’s “A Tale of Two Cities,” Dr. Manette, who has multiple personality, is resurrected

In my first post on The Resurrection of Joan Ashby, I commented on the title, and how the concept of resurrection made me think of multiple personality, because people with multiple personality may think of personalities who are being prevented from coming out as “dead,” but if the obstacles to their coming out are removed, they are found to have not really been dead in the ordinary, permanent sense of the word.

Alternate personalities who have been “dead” may be “resurrected.”

And it has just occurred to me that a famous literary illustration of the connection between resurrection and multiple personality is A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, in which Dr. Manette, who has multiple personality, is “recalled to life.”

Search “A Tale of Two Cities” in this blog for my series of posts on that novel.
