A Tale of Two Cities Essay Help: Which of these makes more sense?

For my essay I have to write about the integrity of the characters in the novel and the message Dickens is trying to send about integrity.

So, would it make more sense for that message to be:

1) Good things come to those with integrity (Carton dies giving his life meaning, Darnay's & Manette's happy-ever-after, maybe even Madame Defarge's & the Monsieur's deaths as examples of bad things coming to those without integrity)

2) Integrity can cause both good and evil (Darnay leaves his old life to do good, the Defarge's justify all the killing they're doing, Miss Pross kills Defarge but saves the others, Carton loses his life but saves Darnay)

Or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance :)

    First one seems strong and straight forward. I think it would be easy to back up with the evidence you mentioned, also.
