Mr. Lorry = Mister geppetto
Mister Geppetto is a kind, old man who inadvertently tries to make others happy. So in other words, he is like Mr. Lorry of A Tale of Two Cities. The reader especially sees Mr. Lorry's compassion when he destroys Dr. Manette's shoe making bench in chapter 19 of Book 2, because even though it makes him feel like a criminal, he only wishes for Dr. Manette to get better.
" So wicked do destruction and secrecy appear to honest minds, that Mr. Lorry and Miss Pross, while engaged in the commission of their deed and in the removal of its traces, almost felt, and almost looked, like accomplices in a horrible crime.” (Book2, Chapter 19)
This relates to the revolution, and the crimes committed during it. Destruction and guilt are main focuses, as they are in the revolution. People begin to move away from their personal values when adopting these focuses. Mr. Lorry experiences extreme guilt here.
Both Geppetto and Lorry are men of business in their own respectable way, and both try to project that lifestyle and value into others. Even ad mist all the drama of the revolution, Mr. Lorry continues to manage Tellson's bank with the same fervor as ever.
