Charles darnay = john smith
John Smith of Pocahontas was a dashing, young hero with good intentions, much like Charles Darnay. Both characters find love with someone of a lower class. In Darnay's case, Lucie, a commoner. Darnay also has a good heart, which is shown when he resolves to try and calm down the "revolutionary fervor" to stop any other innocent people from being arrested (Gabelle).
“Then he went out into the heavy mist in the streets with a heavy heart.” (chapter 24, book 2)
This was Darnay’s personal uprising to protect his own conscience, and responsibility to do what ever he can to stop the revolution. With repetition and alliteration, Dicken's emphasizes how tragically destructive this revolution has become for not only the aristocracy, but for everyone.
In chapter 24, the title of the chapter itself is an allusion .A "loadstone" is essentially a magnet to ships, to draw them home. Darnay has his own loadstone, Paris, where he feels obligated to go, just as how John Smith left Pocahontas to go back home.
“I wish I were going myself,” said Charles Darnay. He said it restlessly, and as if he were thinking aloud." (chapter 24, Drawn to the Loadstone Rock)
