Sacrifice In A Tale Of Two Cities

Self-sacrifice is "the giving up of one's own interests or wishes in order to help others or to advance a cause" ("Self-Sacrifice").

Katniss also shares this characteristic, and it is expressed by her desire to protect, provide, and support her younger sister and mother. By putting aside their personal desires, both of these characters are able to express their desire to protect, as well as their loving nature.
