Wine Shop

       Dickens shows various ways of how this scene can foreshadow events in the future. As the cask spills Dickens says, "Some men kneeled down, made scoops of their two hands joined, and sipped, or tried to help women"(Dickens 21). This direct quote shows that the poor would do anything to get something into their bodies. Dickens also says, "The wine was red wine , and had stained the ground of the narrow street in the suburb of Saint Antoine, in Paris"(Dickens 21). I believe that Dickens foreshadows that the wine represents the blood in the upcoming battle. Dickens lead me to this idea by saying, "scrawled upon a wall with his fingers dipped in muddy wine-less-BLOOD"(Dickens 22). He shows how the citizens picture the scene the same only with blood instead of wine.
