Amelia does not esteem the values of Vanity Fair; Rebecca cares for nothing else. Rebecca first attempts to enter the sacred domain of Vanity Fair by inducing Joseph Sedley, Amelia's brother, to marry her. George Osborne, however, foils this plan; he intends to marry Amelia and does not want a governess for a sister-in-law. Rebecca takes a position as governess at Queen's Crawley, and marries Rawdon Crawley, second son of Sir Pitt Crawley. Because of his marriage, Rawdon's rich aunt disinherits him. First introduced as a friend of George Osborne, William Dobbin becomes the instrument for getting George to marry Amelia, after George's father has forbidden the marriage on account of the Sedley's loss of fortune. Because of George's marriage, old Osborne disinherits him. Both young couples endeavor to live without sufficient funds. George dies at Waterloo. Amelia would have starved but for William Dobbin's anonymous contribution to her welfare. Joseph goes back to his post in India, claiming such valor at Waterloo that he earns the nickname "Waterloo Sedley." Actually he fled at the sound of the cannon. Both Rebecca and Amelia give birth to sons. Rebecca claims she will make Rawdon's fortune, but actually she hides much of her loot, obtained from admiring gentlemen. When she becomes the favorite of the great Lord Steyne, she accumulates both money and diamonds. In the meantime innocent Rawdon draws closer to Lady Jane, wife of Rawdon's older brother, Pitt, who has inherited from the rich aunt. When Rawdon discovers Rebecca in her treachery, he is convinced that money means more to her than he or the son whom she has always hated. He refuses to see her again and takes a post in Coventry Island, where he dies of yellow fever. Because her parents are starving and she can neither provide for them nor give little Georgy what she thinks he needs, Amelia gives up her son to his grandfather Osborne. William Dobbin comes back from the service, reconciles old Osborne to Amelia, whereat Osborne makes a will leaving Georgy half of his fortune and providing for Amelia. Rebecca, having lost the respectability of a husband, wanders in Europe for a couple of years and finally meets Joseph, Georgy, Amelia, and William on the Continent. Rebecca sets about to finish what she started to do at the first of the book — that is, to ensnare Joseph. She does not marry him, but she takes 1 all his money and he dies in terror of her, the implication being that she has, at least, hastened his death. At the end of the book Rebecca has the money necessary to live in Vanity Fair; she appears to be respectable. William has won Amelia. Rebecca has been the one who jolted Amelia into recognition that George, her first love, wasn't worthy. Little Rawdon, upon the death of his uncle Pitt and his cousin Pitt, becomes the heir of Queen's Crawley. Little George, through the kindness of Dobbin, has lost his distorted values obtained in Vanity Fair. The reader feels that these young persons of the third generation will be better people than their predecessors in Vanity Fair. Book Notices: Thackeray’s fame as a writer began in the late 1830s with The Yellowplush Papers (1837-8) but it is his first major novel, Vanity Fair, which appeared in monthly parts 1847-8 that he is most associated with now. Named after the fair set up by Beelzebub in Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, the novel takes place during the Napoleonic Wars and concerns the lives of two starkly contrasted girls: Becky Sharp, orphaned and poor but ingenious; and Amelia Sedley, sheltered daughter of a rich City merchant. These two meet at Miss Pinkerton’s Academy for young ladies, the former driven by social ambition and the latter by her delicate heart. Sharp’s adventures begin with an attempt to marry Jos Sedley, Amelia’s brother, who is rich but dim. She soon finds her way to the Crawley household as a governess and marries Rawdon, the second son of Sir Pitt Crawley, although the father himself had proposed to her. Rawdon is, typically for the novel, an ignorant and self-indulgent man. However, Becky moves on further to become the mistress of Lord Steyne and finds her place in society almost accidentally in the end. Miss Sedley’s story is less intriguing, largely due to useless first husband Osborne and moral by uninteresting second love Dobbin. Thackeray’s portrait of the upper classes in the early nineteenth century is consistently disparaging and negative but is entertaining for its vile characters and hopeless, loveless relationships. Comment: Being an accepted classic, Vanity Fair is no doubt familiar to many readers. But its indelible characters and set-pieces still deserve mention. From the sly anti-heroine Becky Sharp to the gentle-mannered Dobbin — and from the mistreatment of a dictionary to the battlefield death of one character (I won’t reveal whom!) — There is not one component of the story which detracts from the whole. 2 We have to admit this story is very real. Person inside the Vanity Fair is unable to see clearly, the Vanity Fair is external person same is unable to see clearly. Somebody all longs for money, position. Once you have owned one kind among them, the other person all pays special regard to you. The dobbin uses a lifetime love to have waited till his loved one; he dedicates his youth and time to the pitiful people in Vanity Fair. But, the final is good. I think the author can’t bear to let good person suffer hardships, the kind people has got happiness, has come in and gone out of in the Vanity Fair. Those are avaricious, selfish, foolish, proud, a man of no scruples has got due retribution. Have looked at several time with final, a little bit happy, a little bit grieved. This is not only a novel; this is a society in miniature. It is not just in the United Kingdom at that time, it is also in today. Who is not encumbered with the fame and fortune? The others are based on this. While the material life problem does not solve, who does go after a kind of fabulous pure ideal? Therefore, the purpose that the college student studies have become a job, working is to have a portion to be able to let person look upon one with special respect live. Certainly, this does not alternate, we all are a chessman that destiny hits the target personally. Be considering self social status; be considering how to go to raise self social status. People is able to go to adore other people only, talking those prominent persons, you’re about goes and not composing, will there is somebody go and composing. Vanity Fair, how can we come in and go out of in this place , how to face this local , everybody is all ignorant in the novel selfish , eager for fame and fortune, end up efforts for nothing. Read this book reminds me of the entertainment business in today's society. One star said: "the entertainment business is a bowl of water, more people jump into pure will become dirty, dark." In Vanity Fair where everyone exchanges with other people with masks. We have seen is also not necessarily true. 3
