3. What are the two conditions concerning Dr. Manette?
He has lost all memory of who he is and who he knows because he has been isolated for so long.
He is alive, but he acts like he is dead. The way he communicates, does his work, body language, etc.
*He has no life in him, because he has been in prison and then trapped up in the top of Defarge's house for 18 years.
4. Who are the proprietors of the wine-shop?
Monsieur Defarge and Madame Defarge (his wife)
5. Why does Defarge show Dr. Manette to the “Jacques”?
Defarge only shows a few people to Dr. Manette, and the ones with the great name "Jacques" because that's also Defarge's name. The sight is likely to do them good, because of the name.
