William Makepeace Thackeray’s Vanity Fair captures the follies, ambitions, and hypocrisies of early 19th-century English society. At its heart is Becky Sharp, a clever, ruthless social climber whose wit and determination drive her through the rigid class structures of her time.
Description
The novel opens with Becky Sharp, a poor but resourceful governess, determined to rise above her lowly station. Alongside her schoolmate Amelia Sedley, who embodies innocence and virtue, Becky schemes her way into the upper echelons of society through charm, manipulation, and opportunism. Their contrasting paths expose both the fragility and absurdity of social status.
As the Napoleonic Wars loom, personal dramas unfold: love, betrayal, ambition, and downfall. Thackeray delivers biting satire, holding a mirror to society’s obsession with wealth and position. With his ironic tone, he reminds readers that Vanity Fair has no heroes—only flawed, fascinating characters entangled in the game of ambition.
