Mr. Stryver
C.J. Stryver also known as Mr. stryver is a barrister in London, with the character Sydney
Carton working under him. He first appears in the novel as counsel for the defense of Charles
Darnay. He then reappears in Sydney Carton's introductory chapter as his friend, drinking
companion, and partner in law; however, while he cuts a very impressive figure in court, it is
apparent that Carton seems to have all the true legal knowledge and ability. While he and Sydney
Carton were students at the same university of law, it appears that Stryver may have graduated
due to Carton's doing all his scholastic work for him, it can be implied that Stryver is a very
ambitious man determined to push himself to the top of his profession and in society. He later tells
Sydney that he intends to marry Lucie Manette; however, after consulting Jarvis Lorry he decides
against it and even talks himself into such a state that he congratulates himself upon his decision
