A Tale of Two Cities / French revolution question??

My question is

“Most movements begin idealistically- consider the slogan of the French Revolution: “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.” Why does this idealism often turn into fanaticism?”

Can someone either explain this a little better for me or just tell me what fanaticism means lol?? Thank you xx

Fantascism is.. well the best way to explain it is think of Bret Michaels. Yes, I know it’s a dumb simile but it’ll do.

If you watch his new show on VH1, Rock of Love, you’ll see /fanatics/. These women are simply crazy about him. So crazy, in fact, that they’ll do anything just for a droplet of his sweat. Or a date with him, as we can see.

Fanaticism is when you go are pretty much obsessed with something, and your views pinpoint on that.

In answer to your homework question, this idealism often turns to fanaticism because the people revolting begin to see how much better things could become. They don’t see how good things are just how good things could be. They don’t consider how many people will die for this cause or how many families will be ripped apart they just see how good things could be for them.

because dickens was still a professional author much like a comic book or a television show the writers want to keep their jobs, so they have to make things as dramatic as possible , fortunately for dickens he happened to have been good at his job, and the subject matter he chose, the french revolution, will hold many extreme themes such as life and death and wrap them into an intricate weave around a gripping story. who doesn’t love the story of the under dog. all be it the french revolutions social and democratic victories would happen in the middle classes of the society the lower classes still existed, and where thus described in the struggle that was “the tale of two cities”
