Notes

Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray is a satirical novel that follows the lives of two contrasting women, the cunning and ambitious Becky Sharp and the virtuous but passive Amelia Sedley, as they navigate 19th-century English society. Through their experiences with love, wealth, and social climbing, Thackeray critiques the superficiality and moral corruption of a world obsessed with status and materialism. The novel, subtitled A Novel Without a Hero, is known for its sharp wit, vivid character portrayals, and keen social commentary.
