A. The decapitation of the wizard in the fountain in the atrium of

B. The decapitation of Darnay in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles 
Dickens.

Hans, you must have been reading a different version of Dickens' 
novel to me.  The chap who is guillotined at the end of the book is 
Sidney Carton, not Charles Darnay.  Sidney sacrifices himself to save 
another man, thereby redeeming what has been a largely wasted life.
I don't know if this alters your theory at all.
