What is the answer to the Final Jeopardy for Oct 21 2022 The category is 19th Century Literary Characters

Clue: This character from an 1859 novel symbolizes the Fates, who in mythology spin the web of life, measure it, and cut it off. Answer: Madame Defarge

Madame Defarge from the 1859 novel ' A Tale of Two Cities' symbolizes the Fates

Charles Dickens' 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, was set in London and Paris during the French Revolution, and followed the story of Doctor Manette and his 18-year imprisonment in Bastille. Madame Defarge, however, is considered the main antagonist of the novel, since she's happy to kill at any moment. It's actually been suggested that she's based loosely on Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Mericourt, a French revolutionary.Article continues below advertisementSource: Getty Images In fact, Madame Defarge represents one aspect of the Fates who used yarn to measure the life of man. In A Tale of Two Cities, Madame Defarge sits beside the guillotine knitting, in which she secretly encodes the names of those who are to be killed. She was also a symbol of the Reign of Terror, although scholars have argued that she is a complex character and not just a representation, since her desire for revenge stems from the rape of her sister.
