Charles Darmay and his uncle, the Marquis, disagree on most everything. This is evident in the fact that the Marquis attempted to have his nephew imprisoned, as well as his resentment that the aristocracy no longer holds the power it once had. Darnay, on the other hand, sympathizes with the lower classes and even renounces his heritage.
