Vanity Fair

“Vanity Fair” is the main work of Thackeray, focusing on deceitful and corrupt people. The author believed that there is nothing surprising in kindness, while evil is very curious and interesting to study. Paradoxically, against the backdrop of the pettiness... and selfishness of Thackeray's characters, the ideals of virtue stand out most vividly and prominently. Thackeray's contemporaries considered the novel scandalous to the point of indecency, but this did not prevent the author from instantly becoming famous after its release. The writer stated that his novel has no hero, and the story revolves around Becky Sharp, who is willing to do anything to escape poverty and become a wealthy, respectable society lady. All the cunning schemes Becky employs to achieve her desires are still very much in vogue today. It is no coincidence that “Vanity Fair” has been and remains one of the most popular works in the world.
