Vanity Fair is a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray that follows the lives of two women, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, during the early 19th century in England.
The story explores themes of social climbing, manipulation, and ambition as Becky, a cunning and ambitious woman from a lower class background, navigates her way through high society, using her wit and charm to advance her position.
Meanwhile, Amelia, a kind-hearted and naive woman from a wealthy family, struggles with her own romantic entanglements and financial difficulties.
As the two women's lives intersect and diverge, Vanity Fair offers a satirical look at the hypocrisy and vanity of the upper classes, while also exploring the complexities of human nature and the pursuit of happiness.
