《名利场》读后感英文
《名利场》读后感英文，500字Reading《Mingli Chang》, a great work written by Chinese renowned writer Lu Xun, has left me with a deep impression.The story takes place in a small Chinese village in the early 20th century, depicting individuals’ struggles in a patriarchal society. We can see the protagonist, Kuang San, trying to find his identity and break away from the old traditions and customs. He is always oppressed by the feudal ideology and his own family, however, he manages to fight against it and make a difference. We can see how he changes from the carefree young man to the mature adult who has come to understand the consequences of following certain paths.Everyone in this novel has their own destiny, they are all greatly influenced by factors such as family, culture, society etc. For example, the daughter-in-law of Kuang San is too afraid to express herself which reflects the truth of many women during that time. They could only blindly obey without questioning the might of their feudal ancestors. Besides, some of the characters, including Kuang San himself, are twisted and broken as a result of their repressed feelings.The theme of this novel is closely related to our lives, reminding us of the importance of freedom and self-determination.

It follows the lives of two women, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, amid their friends and family. The novel is now considered a classic, and has inspired several film adaptations. In 2003, Vanity Fair was listed at #122 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's best-loved books.The book's title comes from John Bunyan's allegorical story The Pilgrim's Progress, first published in 1678 and still widely read at the time of Thackeray's novel. In that work, "Vanity Fair" refers to a stop along the pilgrim's route: a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity, which is meant to represent man's sinful attachment to worldly things.This novel is originated from the early 19th century British upper-class, mainly describes the two women's fate in different personalities, shows the world at that time the British society moral crisis and corruption, and expose and criticize the capitalistsociety, social change in temperature and the concept of money. This novels mainly describing the dark of British high society and the phenomenon of all kinds of people planning plot, lies, teasing the life for fame and wealth. The novel Vanity Fair is Thackeray's most famous work, it is also the most representative work in19th century British critical realism literature. Vanity Fair, through the arrangement of the plot in an attempt to prove "everything is undeserved reputation float," it reveals the prosperity of capitalist society with light outside, let people see the essence of it. Thackeray himself said that he would write "a group of extremely selfish and folly people desperately committed and enthusiastic pursuit of undeserved reputation in Vanity Fair" Vanity Fair doesn`t have so tight story structure, the content of the matter is basically made up of the life of two heroines Becky and Amelia together. Amelia is a bourgeois miss and Becky is nothing at all, through the fate of the two heroines, Thackeray describes a variety of people in the high society. This article through the analysis of the two women characters to reveals the corruption, moral people's selfish, hypocritical treacherous in the higher British society.In 19th century of Britain, Becky sharp was born poor but ambitious to step into the higher class society from an early age, to achieve her goal, she does not hesitate to use any means, this novel is about how the heroine Becky use her own beauty and wisdom to conquer the world. At first Becky was working as a governor in Sir Pitt Crawley`s home, where not only all the children liked her, but also the spinster aunt Matilda Crawley did. In Becky`s mind that she knew that if she didn`t leave the country and go to London to live, she cannot truly step into the higher British society. So when aunt Matilda invite Becky to go to London, Becky accepted the invitation without any hesitation. In London, Becky met her good friend again in pink, Kingston college, a well-off Amelia Sedley. Amelia Sedley fell in love with the charming officer George, without thinking any against from her family and resolutely married him, and Becky also secretly married Rawdon Crawley, the most likely heir in Crawley`s family, and then Matilda aggravated the newly-married couple out of the house. At this point, Napoleon launched the war against Europe again, George was called up with Rawdon , there are only two friends lived alone ever after...Part two. The character analysis of Vanity Fair2.1 ColdBecky sharp is cold which embodied in her son, she is indifference to her son. A scene once wrote, Rawdon play with son and threw up his son high and accidentally hit his head on the ceiling, knock very heavy, and then Rawdon, the father said don't cry, otherwise will wake the mother, and the child endure not to cry. We can see that her cold let her both own son and husband fear. She doesn't love her husband, her husband was only a higher servant, when her husband put in jail, she was still with play with Lord stein.2.2 HypocriticalBecky sharp is hypocrisy. Amelia Sedley is her best friend, and they used to be together as sisters, however, she and Rawdon design a caught cheating Amy`s husband, George`s money, and when she meet Amy, she pretend to be very concern about her husband, and say, "My dear, for god sake, try to stop him gambling quickly. She told Amy that George was gambling every day, do you know that he is not so rich, if he is not careful, he would lost all his money to Rawdon." Becky sharp by hook or by crook, all with gambling, blackmail. They "cheat the landlord, took off a cheque to the honest banker`s money, bought jewelry without paying."2.3 VanityVanity Fair`s heroine Becky is very vanity, with all her heart secretly into upper class society life, and so eloquent must be one of her essential skill. There are many such examples abound in the book.In the evening they went to Brussels, Becky started to chat with George. Becky looked at the moon with smiling and said: "who would have thought that the moon is two hundred and thirty-six thousand eight hundred and forty-seven miles away from us here, am I good memory? "...（W.M.Thackeray 2010 :283)Becky's eloquent successful lay the foundation of her into the upper classsociety, her positive evaluation of her abilities, behaved quite natural, which make the listener in imperceptible in affection for her, by this way she improved her status in British upper class society. Also there are many people like her in the down class, they are so poor, they want to change their life to become a member of the upper class.2.4 VersatilityBecky is a clever woman, she found that Miss likes to make fun of others, so she tries every mean to deride its social circle together with the old lady, almost every one of Miss social circle , in order to please Miss .Such as:If Sir Pitt Treating guests without inviting Becky company, Miss crow can break into a furious rage, "How can Miss Sharp not come , she is the only one who can talked a few words with me in zone. (W.M.Thackeray 2010:122)Becky was lively and cute, and versatility. No matter in what situation, as long as that there is someone who can be helpful to her future, she will try all possible way to please them. Becky is just a typical sample of that time, similarly, there are a lot of people in British society for the sake of their future fawn on anyone who can be helpful..2.5 TimeservingBecky is very good at flattering, she is not only to please Sir , but also show her wisdom and talent in front of him, her flattery ability makes readers eye-opening. Becky, devoting all her heart to flattery, so lets talk about what is the real purpose of her? Might as well listen to her words to Rawdon: "I'm asking Mrs Jean taking me into palace next year, I want your brother to place you in the congress, you idiot! I want you and your brother all vote to Stan, my dear fool! In that way you can be the Irish governor, or the secretary of the west Indies, or the treasurer officer, or consular,or something like this. (W.M.Thackeray 2010 :478)This confession of Becky totally show her enthusiasm for fame, and the pursuit for wealth, she is double-faced, she know what should be talked to what kind of person, so she win the favor from a lot of people in the upper class. Becky is just a special case, of course, for that most people want to integrate into the upper society, this is a skill what they must master.2.6 SelfishnessBecky has its own set of plans, she knew that only by dealing with the relationship between Rawdon and Sir Pitt which can help her into upper society, reflects that the following statement: "Sir Pitt he may die and his sons, and we will be Sir Rawdon and Sir Madam, then the reader will find that Becky did eventually in the help of Sir successful step into the court paradise. Becky advice Rawdon do not to fight with Sir B , it is all in the hands of her, she wasn't really in order to alleviate Rawdon and Sir Pitt relationship, but in order that she can smoothly enter the upper society, she know that Sir will help her, so she tries every possible mean to stop the fight between finish Sir and Rawdon, its just from her selfishness..2.7 Conclusion of Becky`s characteristicThackeray through describe the main character, reveals the theme of the novel, the British society is a vanity fair. Becky Sharp, which is the daughter of a poor painter, is the product of the Victorian chase fame and wealth society. Though she is born in the lower class, but she is beautiful, bandage, extreme selfishness. After graduating from boarding school in the form of work-study program, started by a small family teachers, even the use a variety of means to seduce powerful giants, firmly seize every opportunity to step into the upper class, become a shining star, the only goal is to get fame and wealth, and to live a comfortable life which can let everyone envy. Becky, which is one of the most successful female adventurer, amasterpiece of critical realism.When she aim at empty luxury life, all the resources become her tools, including sex, family love and friendship...With cold and selfish, hypocrisy, greed to describe Becky sharp was really suit.Part Three. The positive character of Becky3.1 The bold manSimone DE once said: "A woman is not innate, but by shaping. The ego of a woman is not decided by her sex, but determined by the social and economic environment". Social culture and economy determines the status of women. At Victorian times, women have no chance to increase knowledge by education or work, they are just told what kind of behavior is specification, which bound the personality of women. As a Victorian women, Becky should not be so smart. Although she is a poor orphan, but she wants to win respect, economic status and social status. Her independent personality conflicts with what social status she was given. Why she wants to get respect is rooted in her own experience when she was a young child. When her father was drunk, the wife and daughter would be beaten, and her father would complaint social injustice. Her father's abuse contributed to her anger, she wanted to have a different childhood, but the social definition of female restrict her. Therefore, in her life, to live with her goals and desires is a great challenge for her. Only the upper and middle class women have a chance to accept education about words and deeds. Like Becky, a girl from the bottom of the social, life will be more bound.3.2 Dare to resistAfter her father died, Becky was allowed to stay in school, but have to teach French to girls. Becky was offended by other students` discrimination, so she began todesire for prestige extremely. Life in school made her more aware that she is alone and no others can depend on. So she began to plan her own future. She was fed up with her treatment, and determined to try every means to enter the upper society. However, before graduation, she found that challenge the traditional idea would only bring disgrace on her own head. As a result, she hid her anger and ambitions, pretend to be obedience. She learned from Emily that obedience and innocent will be more liked. Even after she got her aim social status, Becky still showed her own rebellion. Born rebel that she won't change her behavior to meet the social expectations of women. Carefully, she deals with the people around her, and then she laugh behind they. The disgrace of Lord Stan let her get satisfaction, because of his noble status symbol of the social system set a cage for her childhood.3.3 Wit and smartAccording to Simone, traditional woman cannot leave the man and consider herself alone, but man can consider about himself only without considering the woman. Becky controls or deceives men through her intelligence, changes the role of women are inferior. As a governess, by becoming an indispensable character to break the rules of the society for women is limited. In the host`s home, even though she is just a private tutor, but she found herself dominated transactions as a matter of fact. Through her words and actions, she controls the people around her, make them believe that she is a woman who just like Emily, obedience and ignorance like child.Part Four. The film and comment4.1 The film of Vanity Fair and the director“Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? Or, having it, is satisfied? ----come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.”(W.M.Thackeray 2010:774) This is the last sentence in Vanity Fair of William Thackeray`s novel. Vanity Fair, completed in 1847 to 1848, by reputation in the early 19th century, it is the most vivid and interesting description. It is that the conclusion of the Vanity Fair inspired director, Mira Nair. She said: "I want to shoot the film, because Thackeray and I have many commonquestions: we all have a dream, when the dream come true, will we be happy? What is satisfaction? What is desire? What's life fame and wealth? Thackeray's novel is the best film material, precisely described what was happening in Britain at that time, this paper expounds an eternal theme. Particularly plump characters will resonate with modern people, I think Becky is one of the greatest female characters in literary works."For the classic novel, Neil has its own unique insights.Coincidentally, Thackeray's spent his childhood in Calcutta in India, and Neil also grew up in India, her personal experience can complement and recreate Thackeray's novel.Producer Janette Day want to made the novel into a film as early as 10 years ago. Becky is more like the modern women, "she said, just born in the wrong time. In the materialistic crazy world, she is vitality and different from others."For the film's writer and joint production team, Matthew Faulk and Mark Skeet, they are able to work as an adaptation is a lucky gift for them, because in the process of novel Thackeray provides a large number of people, so to change the story based on Vanity Fair is the dream of all writers. In addition, in order to further enrich the script, who won the Oscar for best screenplay award Julian fellows joined the adaptation of the squad.4.2 The role of BeckyAs the project of the film forming gradually, casting work also began, who will be choose to play Becky is the most important work for them, Reese Witherspoon were invited to sign in. Witherspoon said: "I am excited to got a call from the Mira, we had met two years ago, because I'm her fan, hope to be able to cooperate with her. Between words, I found that we are familiar sensitive to the female subject, her grasp of the genre is amazing."Witherspoon think that who she plays, Becky is a feminist, the role of Becky is very modern. Although she lost her parents and become homeless, but she is still desire for success, and every success is rely on her own ability.Screenwriter Fellows said, "Reese can show emotional at the same time, this is her special place. Becky is also interesting, intelligent and complex, and smart andambitious and practical at the same time." Director Neil said: "Reese is very suited to play Becky, she and I also hope to be able to perform this role very much. She really had the characteristics of wit, cunning, charming and illusory, Becky, this role is very complicated, but I don't want to get Becky who hated by others, because after all, she is cunning, she is not liked by most people. Reese`s acting just can seize the audience's subtle emotions, let the audience follow her ups and downs together.4.3 The making process of this filmProducer Lydia Dean Pilcher said: "In the UK, we have the most incredible scenes available. Mira is a connoisseur of photography and painting, there is a clear aesthetic point of view; and Dick, who has a deep heart. So this two people working together can create the most truly images."Quinn said: "I have listened to her about the idea of the story, and what she wants to do with film. This is a story of very British, and to tell from the angle of the onlooker. I am Irish Americans, of course, is also a bystander, like the others, my ideas about the story and characters also are different from Mira, therefore, Mira consulted with everyone.Production designer Maria Djurkovic fully consider the colonial influence of the early 19th century, when Britain increasing the number of colonies, at the same time also exert a subtle influence on to accept the risk from colonies such as India, north Africa, and China, the influence of effective recreate the era characteristics is very important.In order to be more loyal to the historical facts, Djurkovic chose a large number of vibrant color. Because at that time under the influence of the east, so the fabric in the film, paper, and the choice of locations were meticulous. Film causeway, Morocco lanterns which appeared and China and Indian fabric also appeared, and so on.Part Five.The wrong outlook on lifeBecky, which is desperately seek status and wealth in her life, because of the society, the value of money and social status is the only standard. Even if she reached the target (such as married Rawdon), but later found out that these goals are not completely satisfied, or (for example with the British upper class) eventually feelboring.Which has so inner monologue: "I think if I have five thousand pounds a year's takings, will also do a serious woman" the author`s heart immediately echo: "who can say Becky is wrong? why women are different and serious? Who can say it's not money that way?". This passage confirms "vanity fair" is a focus on potential, mercenary, plunder to deceive the world, there is no justice in this world. There are two main cause of error goal in life.5.1An early to see the reality of the societyBitterness family situation, leading to deformity of attitude to life.

The story in this novel is developing according to the experience of the traditional woman Amelia Sedley and the non-traditional woman Rebecca Becky Sharp. They are quite vivid and impressive female characters in Thackeray’s age. Vanity Fair represents profoundly the society of London in the Victorian age. Through the contrasting lives of the two heroines, Thackeray shows his admiration and sympathy for women in a money-oriented and status-conscious male world and attacks a corrupted, hypocritical society which advocates the Victorian virtues of marriage and family. Based on a close reading of the novel, and by the method of character analysis and comparison, this thesis will study values of love of the two heroines in Vanity Fair.This thesis contains six chapters. Chapter One is the introduction. It scans the previous studies of Vanity Fair and presents a new perspective and the theme of this thesis--values of love of the two heroines, Amelia Sedley and Rebecca Becky Sharp, in Vanity Fair. Chapter Two discribes the history background. Chapter Three shows the central argument of the thesis--the two heroines’ different values of love. Chapter Four deals with three significant factors which influence these two different kinds of values of love. Chapter Five studies the marriage and fate of Amelia and Rebecca in the shadow of their values of love. Chapter Six indicatesthe internal relations not only between Thackeray and Vanity Fair, but also between Thackeray and the two heroines. The last chapter, the conclusion, summarizes the views of this thesis and suggests that no matter which country women live in and no matter in which period they exist, they should not underestimate their own capabilities. They ought to try to withstand the unfair discrimination from the society as well as the traditional bondages, and live bravely with the maintenance of positive attitude for life.Key words: Vanity Fair; values of love; Rebecca; Amelia摘要《名利场》是十九世纪中期英国著名的批判现实主义作家威廉??萨克雷的代表作。

[英语作文]名利场英语读后感范文名利场英语读后感范文Bunyan once in his book named Pilgrim’s Process described a place named ‘Vanity Fair’ where all kinds of vanity are sold, such as houses, lands, honors, preferments, titles,lusts, pleasures and delights of all sorts. As a matter of fact, we are living in such place today. We gradually become the participants of this fair and loyal followers of these hollow things. Espencially our modern grils’ changing view toward marriage, money and social status. They believe that they could easily live a life like a grand lady without making any efforts if they marry a wealthy man. As female college students, how to stick to our own belief and a一viod being assimilated by the complex society, Thackeray’s novel Vanity Fair could give us a good instruction. Through the R ebacca’s attitude towards money, social status and marriage, I realize what is most important thing for a female.Thackeray described the life of ruling classes of England in the early decades of the 19th century, and attacked the social relationship of bourgeois world by satirizing the individuals in the different strata of the upper society. Rebacca（becky） Sharp is a classic example of the money-grubbing instinct. Her only aspiration in life is to gain wealth and position by any means. Thackeray does not regard Rebacca as an exception. Everyone wishes to gain something in the Vanity Fair and acts almost in the same manner as Rebacca.As an orphan, Rebacca’s birth can easily win our tears. It is an undenible fact that she is quite an ambitious and clever girl. As far as I am concerned, she could easily live a decent life with her own hand. However, because of the society and the innate deficits in her characteristics, she becomes very sophisticate and even tried to suduce her best friend’s broth er so that she could win her place in the upper society and other’s admiration. However, for the people in the upper class, Rebacca’s humble birth cuold never be erased even though she married a rich man. In other’s eye, she was just a coquette who was quite good at suducing rich men. Why not use your own hand to create a bright future and win others’ true respect instead ofrelying on the man’s shoulder.Rebacca liveed in a society which is ruled by money, everyone was crazy about money, Rebacca was no exception. She held the dream of living a life of a grand lady, wearing luxurious clothes and shining dimonds. In order to realize her dream, she used all kinds of immoral means to win the love of rich men. Finally, she got married with Rawdon Crawley, a good man who will inherit a large sum of money from her ant. However, the old lady refused because Crawley married Rebacca---a woman of low social status. Rebacca and her husband live a quite luxurious life in Pairs even though they could not make the both ends meet. Finally, Mr.Crawley was put in to prison because of hea一vy debets, while Rebacca started searching for another rich man who can payfor her luxurious bills. Rebacca betrayed her soul in the process ofpursuiting money and gradually forgot the meaning of love.Marriage is a holy thing in everyone’s life, but if you regard marriage as a good method of gaining money and improving your social status, you will suffer a lot from it. Although you live a decent life and gain other’s admiration,you may never be ture happy because you never know what is love and responsibilty. Rebacca’s marriage is a good example. She took a quite easy attitude towords marriage. Her marriage was just a method which helped her get in to the upper class and live a rich life. Ther is no wonder that she was so cruel to her husband and flirted with another rich man when her husband was in the prison. Here I want to mention another female----Amelia, a girl of simple mind. In Rebacca’s mind she was a fool. At first, she held t he same view as Rebacca. Her husband’s death in the war made her become a sorrowful widow. Till one day Rebacca told her that her husband once asked Rebaccato run with him. Amelia was angry and married a man who has taken care of her for several years uncomplainly. Amelia is not a cold hearted women, although her dream of being a grand lady had vanished,but she experienced a life of being truly loved. While for Rebacca, she will forever lived in the Vanity Fair and never has the chance to experience this kind of love. In my eye , Amelia is wiser than her.Rebacca is a tragic female during that period. Although this novel ended with a happy ending--- Rebacca got marriad with Amelia’s brother andinherited a large sum of money, liveed a grand lady’s life ---who dare to say that Rebacca will stop betraying her soul and keep away from Vanity Fair? I would like to give an advice to her and to the grils in our modern society: please keep always from Vanity, and take a correct attitude towards money, social status and marriage. Money is not every in our life. The improvement of our social status needs our own efforts instead of relying on others. Mrriageis a holly thing in our girls’ life, which requires our responsibility and loyalty. Or we will forever live in a hollow world and the dream of vanity will finally destory us.感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

Introduction1.1A brief introduction of ThackerayVanity Fair is a masterpiece of the greatest British realist and humorist writer Thackeray. Thackeray is a prolific writer, he has a collection of 35 volume; His early works are humorous stories and poetry, such as the descriptions of Paris, the Irish descriptions, etc.; In the middle,he start to create critical realism novels, and which novel laid his position in the literary world in UK is Vanity Fair, which is published in 1848, the novel not only established his place in the English literature but also made Thackeray acknowledged as the eponymous famous novelist Dickens.1.2An introduction of Vanity FairA Novel without a Hero is a novel by English author William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1847–48, satirising society in early 19th-century Britain. It follows the lives of two women, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, amid their friends and family. The novel is now considered a classic, and has inspired several film adaptations. In 2003, Vanity Fair was listed at #122 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's best-loved books.The book's title comes from John Bunyan's allegorical story The Pilgrim's Progress, first published in 1678 and still widely read at the time of Thackeray's novel. In that work, "Vanity Fair" refers to a stop along the pilgrim's route: a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity, which is meant to represent man's sinful attachment to worldly things.This novel is originated from the early 19th century British upper-class, mainly describes the two women's fate in different personalities, shows the world at that time the British society moral crisis and corruption, and expose and criticize the capitalistsociety, social change in temperature and the concept of money. This novels mainly describing the dark of British high society and the phenomenon of all kinds of people planning plot, lies, teasing the life for fame and wealth. The novel Vanity Fair is Thackeray's most famous work, it is also the most representative work in19th century British critical realism literature. Vanity Fair, through the arrangement of the plot in an attempt to prove "everything is undeserved reputation float," it reveals the prosperity of capitalist society with light outside, let people see the essence of it. Thackeray himself said that he would write "a group of extremely selfish and folly people desperately committed and enthusiastic pursuit of undeserved reputation in Vanity Fair" Vanity Fair doesn`t have so tight story structure, the content of the matter is basically made up of the life of two heroines Becky and Amelia together. Amelia is a bourgeois miss and Becky is nothing at all, through the fate of the two heroines, Thackeray describes a variety of people in the high society. This article through the analysis of the two women characters to reveals the corruption, moral people's selfish, hypocritical treacherous in the higher British society.In 19th century of Britain, Becky sharp was born poor but ambitious to step into the higher class society from an early age, to achieve her goal, she does not hesitate to use any means, this novel is about how the heroine Becky use her own beauty and wisdom to conquer the world. At first Becky was working as a governor in Sir Pitt Crawley`s home, where not only all the children liked her, but also the spinster aunt Matilda Crawley did. In Becky`s mind that she knew that if she didn`t leave the country and go to London to live, she cannot truly step into the higher British society. So when aunt Matilda invite Becky to go to London, Becky accepted the invitation without any hesitation. In London, Becky met her good friend again in pink, Kingston college, a well-off Amelia Sedley. Amelia Sedley fell in love with the charming officer George, without thinking any against from her family and resolutely married him, and Becky also secretly married Rawdon Crawley, the most likely heir in Crawley`s family, and then Matilda aggravated the newly-married couple out of the house. At this point, Napoleon launched the war against Europe again, George was called up with Rawdon , there are only two friends lived alone ever after...Part two. The character analysis of Vanity Fair2.1 ColdBecky sharp is cold which embodied in her son, she is indifference to her son. A scene once wrote, Rawdon play with son and threw up his son high and accidentally hit his head on the ceiling, knock very heavy, and then Rawdon, the father said don't cry, otherwise will wake the mother, and the child endure not to cry. We can see that her cold let her both own son and husband fear. She doesn't love her husband, her husband was only a higher servant, when her husband put in jail, she was still with play with Lord stein.2.2 HypocriticalBecky sharp is hypocrisy. Amelia Sedley is her best friend, and they used to be together as sisters, however, she and Rawdon design a caught cheating Amy`s husband, George`s money, and when she meet Amy, she pretend to be very concern about her husband, and say, "My dear, for god sake, try to stop him gambling quickly. She told Amy that George was gambling every day, do you know that he is not so rich, if he is not careful, he would lost all his money to Rawdon." Becky sharp by hook or by crook, all with gambling, blackmail. They "cheat the landlord, took off a cheque to the honest banker`s money, bought jewelry without paying."2.3 VanityVanity Fair`s heroine Becky is very vanity, with all her heart secretly into upper class society life, and so eloquent must be one of her essential skill. There are many such examples abound in the book.In the evening they went to Brussels, Becky started to chat with George. Becky looked at the moon with smiling and said: "who would have thought that the moon is two hundred and thirty-six thousand eight hundred and forty-seven miles away from us here, am I good memory? "...（W.M.Thackeray 2010 :283)Becky's eloquent successful lay the foundation of her into the upper classsociety, her positive evaluation of her abilities, behaved quite natural, which make the listener in imperceptible in affection for her, by this way she improved her status in British upper class society. Also there are many people like her in the down class, they are so poor, they want to change their life to become a member of the upper class.2.4 VersatilityBecky is a clever woman, she found that Miss likes to make fun of others, so she tries every mean to deride its social circle together with the old lady, almost every one of Miss social circle , in order to please Miss .Such as:If Sir Pitt Treating guests without inviting Becky company, Miss crow can break into a furious rage, "How can Miss Sharp not come , she is the only one who can talked a few words with me in zone. (W.M.Thackeray 2010:122)Becky was lively and cute, and versatility. No matter in what situation, as long as that there is someone who can be helpful to her future, she will try all possible way to please them. Becky is just a typical sample of that time, similarly, there are a lot of people in British society for the sake of their future fawn on anyone who can be helpful..2.5 TimeservingBecky is very good at flattering, she is not only to please Sir , but also show her wisdom and talent in front of him, her flattery ability makes readers eye-opening. Becky, devoting all her heart to flattery, so lets talk about what is the real purpose of her? Might as well listen to her words to Rawdon: "I'm asking Mrs Jean taking me into palace next year, I want your brother to place you in the congress, you idiot! I want you and your brother all vote to Stan, my dear fool! In that way you can be the Irish governor, or the secretary of the west Indies, or the treasurer officer, or consular,or something like this. (W.M.Thackeray 2010 :478)This confession of Becky totally show her enthusiasm for fame, and the pursuit for wealth, she is double-faced, she know what should be talked to what kind of person, so she win the favor from a lot of people in the upper class. Becky is just a special case, of course, for that most people want to integrate into the upper society, this is a skill what they must master.2.6 SelfishnessBecky has its own set of plans, she knew that only by dealing with the relationship between Rawdon and Sir Pitt which can help her into upper society, reflects that the following statement: "Sir Pitt he may die and his sons, and we will be Sir Rawdon and Sir Madam, then the reader will find that Becky did eventually in the help of Sir successful step into the court paradise. Becky advice Rawdon do not to fight with Sir B , it is all in the hands of her, she wasn't really in order to alleviate Rawdon and Sir Pitt relationship, but in order that she can smoothly enter the upper society, she know that Sir will help her, so she tries every possible mean to stop the fight between finish Sir and Rawdon, its just from her selfishness..2.7 Conclusion of Becky`s characteristicThackeray through describe the main character, reveals the theme of the novel, the British society is a vanity fair. Becky Sharp, which is the daughter of a poor painter, is the product of the Victorian chase fame and wealth society. Though she is born in the lower class, but she is beautiful, bandage, extreme selfishness. After graduating from boarding school in the form of work-study program, started by a small family teachers, even the use a variety of means to seduce powerful giants, firmly seize every opportunity to step into the upper class, become a shining star, the only goal is to get fame and wealth, and to live a comfortable life which can let everyone envy. Becky, which is one of the most successful female adventurer, amasterpiece of critical realism.When she aim at empty luxury life, all the resources become her tools, including sex, family love and friendship...With cold and selfish, hypocrisy, greed to describe Becky sharp was really suit.Part Three. The positive character of Becky3.1 The bold manSimone DE once said: "A woman is not innate, but by shaping. The ego of a woman is not decided by her sex, but determined by the social and economic environment". Social culture and economy determines the status of women. At Victorian times, women have no chance to increase knowledge by education or work, they are just told what kind of behavior is specification, which bound the personality of women. As a Victorian women, Becky should not be so smart. Although she is a poor orphan, but she wants to win respect, economic status and social status. Her independent personality conflicts with what social status she was given. Why she wants to get respect is rooted in her own experience when she was a young child. When her father was drunk, the wife and daughter would be beaten, and her father would complaint social injustice. Her father's abuse contributed to her anger, she wanted to have a different childhood, but the social definition of female restrict her. Therefore, in her life, to live with her goals and desires is a great challenge for her. Only the upper and middle class women have a chance to accept education about words and deeds. Like Becky, a girl from the bottom of the social, life will be more bound.3.2 Dare to resistAfter her father died, Becky was allowed to stay in school, but have to teach French to girls. Becky was offended by other students` discrimination, so she began todesire for prestige extremely. Life in school made her more aware that she is alone and no others can depend on. So she began to plan her own future. She was fed up with her treatment, and determined to try every means to enter the upper society. However, before graduation, she found that challenge the traditional idea would only bring disgrace on her own head. As a result, she hid her anger and ambitions, pretend to be obedience. She learned from Emily that obedience and innocent will be more liked. Even after she got her aim social status, Becky still showed her own rebellion. Born rebel that she won't change her behavior to meet the social expectations of women. Carefully, she deals with the people around her, and then she laugh behind they. The disgrace of Lord Stan let her get satisfaction, because of his noble status symbol of the social system set a cage for her childhood.3.3 Wit and smartAccording to Simone, traditional woman cannot leave the man and consider herself alone, but man can consider about himself only without considering the woman. Becky controls or deceives men through her intelligence, changes the role of women are inferior. As a governess, by becoming an indispensable character to break the rules of the society for women is limited. In the host`s home, even though she is just a private tutor, but she found herself dominated transactions as a matter of fact. Through her words and actions, she controls the people around her, make them believe that she is a woman who just like Emily, obedience and ignorance like child.Part Four. The film and comment4.1 The film of Vanity Fair and the director“Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? Or, having it, is satisfied? ----come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.”(W.M.Thackeray 2010:774) This is the last sentence in Vanity Fair of William Thackeray`s novel. Vanity Fair, completed in 1847 to 1848, by reputation in the early 19th century, it is the most vivid and interesting description. It is that the conclusion of the Vanity Fair inspired director, Mira Nair. She said: "I want to shoot the film, because Thackeray and I have many commonquestions: we all have a dream, when the dream come true, will we be happy? What is satisfaction? What is desire? What's life fame and wealth? Thackeray's novel is the best film material, precisely described what was happening in Britain at that time, this paper expounds an eternal theme. Particularly plump characters will resonate with modern people, I think Becky is one of the greatest female characters in literary works."For the classic novel, Neil has its own unique insights.Coincidentally, Thackeray's spent his childhood in Calcutta in India, and Neil also grew up in India, her personal experience can complement and recreate Thackeray's novel.Producer Janette Day want to made the novel into a film as early as 10 years ago. Becky is more like the modern women, "she said, just born in the wrong time. In the materialistic crazy world, she is vitality and different from others."For the film's writer and joint production team, Matthew Faulk and Mark Skeet, they are able to work as an adaptation is a lucky gift for them, because in the process of novel Thackeray provides a large number of people, so to change the story based on Vanity Fair is the dream of all writers. In addition, in order to further enrich the script, who won the Oscar for best screenplay award Julian fellows joined the adaptation of the squad.4.2 The role of BeckyAs the project of the film forming gradually, casting work also began, who will be choose to play Becky is the most important work for them, Reese Witherspoon were invited to sign in. Witherspoon said: "I am excited to got a call from the Mira, we had met two years ago, because I'm her fan, hope to be able to cooperate with her. Between words, I found that we are familiar sensitive to the female subject, her grasp of the genre is amazing."Witherspoon think that who she plays, Becky is a feminist, the role of Becky is very modern. Although she lost her parents and become homeless, but she is still desire for success, and every success is rely on her own ability.Screenwriter Fellows said, "Reese can show emotional at the same time, this is her special place. Becky is also interesting, intelligent and complex, and smart andambitious and practical at the same time." Director Neil said: "Reese is very suited to play Becky, she and I also hope to be able to perform this role very much. She really had the characteristics of wit, cunning, charming and illusory, Becky, this role is very complicated, but I don't want to get Becky who hated by others, because after all, she is cunning, she is not liked by most people. Reese`s acting just can seize the audience's subtle emotions, let the audience follow her ups and downs together.4.3 The making process of this filmProducer Lydia Dean Pilcher said: "In the UK, we have the most incredible scenes available. Mira is a connoisseur of photography and painting, there is a clear aesthetic point of view; and Dick, who has a deep heart. So this two people working together can create the most truly images."Quinn said: "I have listened to her about the idea of the story, and what she wants to do with film. This is a story of very British, and to tell from the angle of the onlooker. I am Irish Americans, of course, is also a bystander, like the others, my ideas about the story and characters also are different from Mira, therefore, Mira consulted with everyone.Production designer Maria Djurkovic fully consider the colonial influence of the early 19th century, when Britain increasing the number of colonies, at the same time also exert a subtle influence on to accept the risk from colonies such as India, north Africa, and China, the influence of effective recreate the era characteristics is very important.In order to be more loyal to the historical facts, Djurkovic chose a large number of vibrant color. Because at that time under the influence of the east, so the fabric in the film, paper, and the choice of locations were meticulous. Film causeway, Morocco lanterns which appeared and China and Indian fabric also appeared, and so on.Part Five.The wrong outlook on lifeBecky, which is desperately seek status and wealth in her life, because of the society, the value of money and social status is the only standard. Even if she reached the target (such as married Rawdon), but later found out that these goals are not completely satisfied, or (for example with the British upper class) eventually feelboring.Which has so inner monologue: "I think if I have five thousand pounds a year's takings, will also do a serious woman" the author`s heart immediately echo: "who can say Becky is wrong? why women are different and serious?

Vanity Fair: A Novel Without a HeroAbstractVanity Fair is Thackeray’s masterpiece. The subtitle of the book, “A Novel Without a Hero,”emphasize the fact that the writer’s intention was not to portray individuals, but the bourgeois and aristocratic society as a whole.

Rebecca is determined to go to the upper society at all costs .She attempts but fails to entrap Amelia’s brother Joseph for a husband . And then she becomes a governess in Sir Pitt Crawley .She marries his son, Rawden Crawley , to inherit a big sum of money from Rawden’s aunt. But her hope doesn’t come true. Amelia marries her father’s business friend’s son, George Osborne. The people in this novel all have a strong desire for money and position. The author depicted their libido for ugly things vigiously.Outline1.Introduction to Thackeray’s life and work2.The plot of Vanity Fair3.My view about the charactersBody1. Introduction to Thackeray’s life and workThackeray, like Dickens, was a representative of critical realism in 19th century England. He was bone in 1811 in India, in the family of an English official. His first literary success came with a series of satirical sketches entitled The Snobs of England. The book draws a galley of snobs from different walks of life. In Thackey’s view a snob is a person who fawns upon his social superiors and looks dawn with contempt upon his inferiors. The book may be regarded as a prelude to his major literary career, as it contains all the important ideas that constitute the contents of his later works.In the forties his realistic writing method became mature and firmly established.A brilliant example of this method and one of the greatest masterpieces of critical realism is Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair was the peak of his literary career. At last, he abandons the noise and unrest of city life to find happiness and peace in country life.He published two historical novels, Henry Esmond and The Virginians. He also wrote many other works including short stories, sketches, and satirical poems. These were popular during the writer’s lifetime but for the most part forgotten by the next generation of readers. During the last year of his life, he worked on the novel Denis Duval which remained unfinished owing to the author’s death in 1863.2. The plot of Vanity FairThe title of Vanity Fair was taken from Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. The scene of the story is England in the first half of the 19th century. The book opens with the two girls from their school in a London suburb, where they have studied for 6 years. One of them was Amelia Sedley , the daughter of a wealthy London family. The otherwas Rebecca Sharp, an orphan. Amelia was a charming young lady, who deserved all that the headmistress had written in her praise. She won the love of everyone who came near her. The classmates were very friendly to Amelia. Her face blushed with rosy health, and her lips had the freshest of the smiles. Rebecca was so impolite that she that she threw the dictionary Miss Jemica gave her as a gift. The two were together for a short time in Amelia’s home. At Amelia’s home, Rebecca behaved very well as if she were a well-bred girl. She wanted to attract Amelia’s brothe r—Joseph’s attention. She thought if she did not get a husband for herself, there was no one in the wide world would take the troubles to cope with delicate matters for her. At the party Joseph drank much wine and declared his love to Rebecca. But he had a liver disease before, the wine made his health worse. He had to rest for several months. It was now clearly time for Rebecca to leave and take up her post in the countr y—Sir Pitt Crawley’s house. She determined to strengthen her position with the Crawley family by making friends of everyone who could at all interfere with her comfort. To her employer the little governess made herself agreeable and useful in many different ways. She played cards with him in the evening. She became interested in the detail of his property. Miss Crawley, Pitt’s sister, had a short stay at Pitt’s house. It wasn’t long before Rebecca won her heart.Amelia’s father and George Osborne’s father were business friends for a long time. Amelia and George were engaged very early. George’s intimate friend Dobbin was secretly and hopelessly in love with Amelia. Unexpectedly, Amelia’s father went bankrupt and left his daughter penniless. Old Osborne turned his back on his old friend and ordered his son to break with Amelia. Dobbin wanted to see Amelia happy, so he arranged the marriage between George and Amelia. The marriage made Old Osborne so furious that he crossed out his name from the family Bible.Rebecca was so capable that Pitt fell in love with her. After his wife died, he proposed to her. But Rebecca refused her proposal and told him that she had already married to Crawley. Because she thought Crawley could inherit a big fortune from his aunt. This news made Miss Crawley very angry, she didn’t want to give her money to her nephew because he married a penniless girl.When the war broke out, George went to the battlefield. But he was killed in the Battle of Waterloo. Widowed Amelia gave birth to a son and devoted herself to his upbringing. Rebecca then lived with Joseph, until he died, living all money to her. She returned to England and lived like a grand lady.3.My view about charactersThis is a novel without a hero. In this novel Thackeray describes the life of the ruling classes of England in the early decades of the 19th century, and attacks the social relationship of the bourgeois world by satirizing the individuals in the different strata of the upper society. The characters in this novel all have great lust for money, position and social status. They show great contempt to the people who are inferior to them. Especially Rebecca, shrewd, unscrupulous and sophisticated, tried all means to go to the upper class. At first, she was jealous of her friend, Amelia, whose mother could buy every thing if she wanted. She was always greenwith envy. She wanted to marry Joseph but failed. And then she married Crawley also out of interest. To my astonishment, she had love affairs with Amelia’s husband—George. Amelia treated her so well, but Rebecca hurt Amelia deeply. When Rebecca always went out with George happily, Amelia was very sad in secret. Her heart sank and she was uneasy. I don’t understand why Rebecca was so charming that she captured so many men. She just liked a magnet. So many men liked him because she was beautiful, humorous, and capable? Didn’t men know she was as dangerous as a snake? She approached them just because of their money, social status? Joseph was like a coward. When George treated her sister badly, he didn’t stand up to protect his sister. If I was a poor girl like Rebecca, I will use my efforts and diligence to make achievements. I know it will be difficult for me to make progress, but I think it is worth a try. Knowledge will do a good turn even as a means of subsistence. I will keep learning in case I will be replaced by younger people in a couple of years. I will apply my knowledge to the job. While in the prime of my life, why not devote myself to a special field of study? Different people have different pursuits, such as money, social status, happiness, etc. I will never give up the pursuit of learning.Bibliography1.《名利场》（英文阅读与精练）,弘扬（主编），首都经济贸易大学出版社，20022.《名利场》（掌上名著英语系列丛书），王怡（主编），世界图书出版公司，20013.《英国文学简史》，刘炳善，河南大学出版社，2006，P305-3084.《新编英国文学选读，下》，罗经国，北京大学出版社，2009，p159-170Self comments:Although I have read the novel with diligence and attention, the paper can still have better improvement, so the mark is 82.。

![[英语作文]《名利场》的观点及言语方式](https://img.taocdn.com/s3/m/78d2fec4dc88d0d233d4b14e852458fb770b38db.png)
[英语作文]Points of View and the Mode of Discourse in Vanity Fair论《名利场》的观点及言语方式In William Makepeace Thackeray's novel "Vanity Fair," the points of view and the mode of discourse are essential elements that shape the reader's understanding and experience of the narrative. The novel is known for its satirical tone, vivid social commentary, and complex characters. Let's explore these aspects in more detail:1. Points of View:a. Omniscient Narrator: Thackeray employs an omniscient narrator who not only knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters but also comments on the actions and motivations of the individuals in the story. This narrator is particularly keen on revealing the vanity and hypocrisy that pervade society.b. Limited Perspective: While the omniscient narrator provides a broad view of the story, Thackeray also delves into the limited perspectives of certain characters. For instance, much of the narrative is focused on the ambitions and machinations of the main character, Becky Sharp. Her perspective offers readers a glimpse into her cunning and manipulative nature, as well as her social climbing endeavors.2. Mode of Discourse:a. Satire: One of the most prominent modes of discourse in "Vanity Fair" is satire. Thackeray uses irony, sarcasm, and humor to critique the upper classes and their obsession with wealth, status, and appearance. The title itself is a satirical reference to the biblical "Vanity Fair" where all things are sold, symbolizing the transactional nature of society depicted in the novel.b. Realism: Thackeray's narrative is grounded in realism, reflecting the social norms and values of the 19th-century British society. The detailed descriptions of events, characters, and settings serve to create a believable world that mirrors the historical period in which it is set.c. Social Commentary: "Vanity Fair" is rich in social commentary. Thackeray criticizes the superficiality and moral decay of the aristocracy and the middle class. He exposes the double standards, greed, and self-interest that underpin society, often using his characters as exemplars of these vices.d. Irony: Irony is frequently employed to highlight the contradictions between what people say and what they actually do or believe. For example, the contrast between the characters' outward displays of virtue and their inward desires and actions is often played out in an ironic manner.e. Dialogue: The dialogue in "Vanity Fair" is another important mode ofdiscourse. It is often used to reveal characters' personalities, social backgrounds, and intentions. The witty and sharp exchanges between characters are not only entertaining but also serve to advance the plot and reveal deeper truths about human nature.In conclusion, "Vanity Fair" is a masterful blend of various points of view and modes of discourse. Thackeray's use of satire, realism, and irony, along with his complex characters and omniscient narrator, creates a rich tapestry that critiques society while entertaining readers with its wit and insight. The novel remains a classic because it continues to resonate with themes that are still relevant today, such as the pursuit of wealth and status at the expense of genuine human connection and moral integrity.。

英语专业毕业论文-名利场全英
1. IntroductionThis part makes a brief introduction to the author Thackeray, his novel Vanity Fair, his life and art, and introduces the heroines in the novel Vanity Fair.Thackeray (1811-1863) was a representative of critical realism in 19th century England. He was born in India in the family of an English official. He was sent back to England for education at Charterhouse School and then at Trinity College in the age of six. In 1831 he used to study law in Middle Temple but finally he gave it up. Then he went to Paris to study painting. In 1833 he work for The National Standard as a proprietor, he both wrote and drew for it. Unfortunately, the failure of an India bank where he had deposited his inherited fortune left him without means. As a result, in order to support his family he turned to journalism for a living. In his early life, Thackeray wrote all kinds of articles, mainly short pieces for journals and relatively slim books. Up to 1847, a series of his satirical sketches were collected in The Book of Snobs. But it was not until the publication of Vanity Fair that the world recognized the appearance of a new novelist of the first rank. Vanity Fair came out in 1847-48, which established his reputation as a novelist. The novel Vanity Fair is regarded as the peak of Thackeray’s literary career. “His realism declined after that. He was somewhat alarmed by the revolutionary movement of 1848 and was not prepared to accept the idea of breaking the existing social structure. Signs of reconciliation with reality can be traced in his later writings. And he drifted two series of lectures and wrote a number ballads and verses (Sun Hanyun,130)” He died of heart disease on December 24, 1863.“Vanity Fair”is the fiction of an English writer who lived in the19th century and named William Makepeace Thackeray, “Vanity Fair” is the work that makes him famous in literature, which holds the very important position in the English literature and even the world literature. It has succeeded portraying Rebecca Sharp and Amelia Sedley. It tells a story about two women who have different fates with each other. Rebecca is a beautiful woman who lives in the lowest stratum of the society, but has a higher education. The experiences of living in different environment makes her have a distorted disposition. So she tries hard to step into the upper class and aim at fame and wealth blindly. Rebecca is portrayed as a rebellious and cunning young woman determined to make her way in society. Another is kind girl---Amelia, on the contrary, a warm hearted and pure girl lives in a rich family, yearning for love, living a happy life.The title of this work comes from Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress meaning “a fair, wherein are sold all sorts vanity”, the author intended to make a vivid picture of the selfish, hypocritical and money-grabbing world of that time. The subtitle of the book is “A Novel without a Hero”. From this we can see that firstly there are no exactly positive characters in a world full of bad and cunning people. Secondly it may hint that this is a novel about women instead of men. Although the subtitle may also imply that there is no real hero in the work, Rebecca and Amelia can be the real heroines of the novel in a way.2. Amelia’s CharacterAs the heroine of this novel, Amelia is a kind and pure woman, many people do not understand why not regard Amelia as a perfect character in this novel. As we can see that she has many traditional virtues, but on the other hand the author also portrayed her as a obedient and passivewoman.2.1 A Kind and Pure AmeliaAmelia is a soft, warm-hearted lady and tender love toward her lover, her friend and all people around her. Besides, she is an innocent girl without any evil tricks in the traditional society.She was born in a rich upper class family, and has chance to receive a good education and grow up healthily and happily. She is treated with all courtesy and mother’s intensive care which shapes her with the disposition of gentility and kindness. Amelia’s presents Mr. Sedly and Mrs. Sedly are very kind people, especially Mr. Sedly. He is kind to Miss Sharp though she is only a poor and ordinary governess from the lowest class in the hierarchical society. And Amelia’Brother Joseph, he is dull and silly, but he is a friendly man to others. And all in all, there are no bad or evil persons in this family. From this we can see that the good family environment makes a significant contribution to Amelia’s characters of kindness.Amelia is kind –hearted to her friend, Rebecca. When Rebecca saw the two magnificent Cashmere shawls, which Joseph Sedley had brought home to his sister, she said, “that is must be delightful to have a brother,”and this easily got the pity of the tender-hearted Amelia, for being alone in the world, an orphan without friends or kindred. “Not alone,” said Amelia; “you know, Rebecca, I shall always be your friend, and love you as a sister-indeed I will.” She regards Rebecca as her best girlfriend though she knows that Rebecca is from the lowest class and even tries her best to help her. And when she knows that Rebecca has done many bad things that are harmful to her, she still chooses to forgive her. So from all these reasons, Amelia is a kind woman.What’s more, Amelia is also a pure and innocent woman. In her mind, it seems that everybody in this world is kind- hearted. For example, Amelia is hard to believe that the head-teacher of her school, Miss Pinkertontreats her well just because her advantageous family conditions and Miss Pinkerton could benefit from her.Amelia yearns for love. She puts all her emotion on Osborne, who comes from a wealthy family, but Osborne in fact is a playboy, he never makes Amelia’s dream of love come true. Yet Amelia still pursuits, “George was her Europe, her emperor, her allied monarchs and august prince regent…he was her sun and moon…when he came to Russel Square, her face lighted up as if she had been sunshine…As soon as the door was shut, she went fluttering to lieutenant George Osborne’s heart as if it was the only natural home for her to nestle in.” Her love for George is so pure and deep. Even after her husband died in the war, she yield to the fate and didn’t get married to other people.2.2 A Obedient and Passive AmeliaAmelia is a traditional woman in the Victorian Times, she is a subordinate, passive and pure, and everything a Victorian lady aspired to be. Amelia is born in a family of the upper middle class but she always lives a long-suffering life, and accepted whatever her husband wanted or did. She can get good education, every luxury she desired and acquired respect through her family’s status. But look at Amelia, she is just like a “Angel in the House”or “queen of the Garden”, like most of housewives, although she has higher education, but she has no ideas about her only life, she just did whatever her husband wanted her to do, to be a good wife, and to be a good mother. “Victorian middle-class girls who aspired to ladyhood were expected to live carefully circumscribed lives while in training for marriage ideally, and if not, a useful old maid---hood” (Rowbotham16).In chapter 57, Amelia accepted money from old Osborne after giving up little George.Her lack of pride stemmed from her being naturally simple and demand of protection, and revealed her suffering, poverty, humility and privations since her marriage. And many women similarly sacrificed themselves, they are subordinate and lacking the courage to resist.Amelia lives a passive life; she lives in the suppression of her home under the protection of her parents. A middle-class young woman was expected to be submissive and virtuous so that one day she would either take care of her husband’s needs and desire or continue to bring up her children. So we can see from the book she regards love as her only life purpose, from she graduated until she gets married with George, she lives a suffering life, she sees a marriage to George as inevitable because it was their parents “order”and because her behavior and her class exemplify her worth as a prominent lady.2.3 A Idealistic and Selfish AmeliaAlthough Thackeray portrays Amelia as a considerate mother, a docile wife, a filial daughter and even a sympathetic woman, there are still a lot of disadvantages of Amelia. She is sometimes as selfish and self-centered as Rebecca, in other words, she lives in her own ideal world and she doesn’t admit something happened around her. For example, Amelia devotes herself to the relationship with her husband George blindly. Like Rebecca, she marries a man who is not able- minded than her. But unlucky she is never aware of her own identity, refuses to admit this fact, accept to whatever her husband wanted or did. on the contrary, Rebecca controls her husband Rawdon Crawley to reshape here own fate.And what’s more she is selfish, subordinate and dependent in her relationship with George and Dobbin. She fell in love with George but she never refuses Dobbin to love her. And there is evidence to prove she is self-centred and she ignores Dobbin’s love for her but never refusesdirectly. Dobbin bought Amelia a piano as a gift, but in her mind the piano is from George, not Dobbin, she treasures the gift unless it was George’ gift. She says, “I value it more than anything I have in the world. Can I do otherwise? Did not the give it to me?”Yet she knows that it was Dobbin sent her the gift but not George sent, “it struck her, with inexpressible pain and mortification. It was not George’s relic. It was valueless now” (Thackeray 2010, 670). She doesn’t like the piano as before when she knows Dobbin sent it to her. Dobbin always keeps Amelia and her son’s company after George died in the war. But he receives only Amelia’s reproach, “it is you who are cruel now. George is my husband, here and in heaven”(Thackeray 2010,671). Her self-deluding makes her to push aside the only friend she has, Dobbin, who really cares her and loves her.3. Rebecca’s CharacterRebecca was born in a poor family, in the lowest class of English society at that time. she takes advantage of her beauty, talent, and anything could help her, in order to enter upper class and live a comfortable life. Thackeray portrays her as a cunning, selfish, hypocritical woman, it is the representative of the snobbish. On the other hand, she is a rebellious and courageous woman. She is a woman who has a strong desire to fame and wealth, struggled to make her way in the society.3.1 A Cunning and Hypocritical RebeccaRebecca Sharp is a classic example of this money –grubbing instinct. Her only aspiration in life is gain wealth and position by any means, through lies, mean actions and unscrupulous speculating with every sacred ideal.Rebecca is a tricky, evil and cunning woman. She has a strong desire to be a rich woman and live a comfortable life. She has enough poor life when she lived with her father, so she realized she must try her best to enter the upper class to live a wealthy life and to be a grand woman with all methods. She does everything: flatter, betray and spoil other people. When in Amelia’s home, she knows everyone’s disposition and hobbies quickly, and tries to be close to everyone in Amelia’s home. She gets everyone’s love very soon. But all these she does is to make her way to enter the upper class, she even wants to marry Joseph, Amelia’s stupid brother, she pretends to fall in love with him and teases him, but finally she failed. Then she takes advantage of her wisdom to win the old lady -- Miss Crawley’s favor, only because she wants to marry Miss Crawley’s nephew, she thinks that Crawley could inherit a big fortune from his aunt.Rebec ca’father is a poor painter, and her mother works as an opera-girl. Although her mother’s profession doesn’t seem to be respected, it is exactly a work that her mother supports their family by her own labor. But as for Rebecca, she never bring up that her mother is an opera- girl, it seems to bring humiliations to her. She just said her grandma’s family was very prominent. What’s more, when she and her husband came back England from France, they have no income at all, but they use the finest wine to treat people. And Rebecca pretends herself to be a upper class woman, she always dressed in latest fashion, with expensive jewelry, rambling the park with some rich people. All these turn out that Rebecca is a hypocritical woman; she wants to be rich, and she fully realized, she must try her best and use every means to enter the upper class of the society, so that she can live a wealthy life and have much money in this kind of society.3.2 A Courageous and Competent RebeccaRebecca was born in a very poor family, in the lowest class of society. And her parents died when she was very young and they didn’t leave any property to her. We can know that she has already met a lot of difficulties when she was a child. But she never yielded to such bitter days; instead she struggled in a hypocritical world. It turns out that Rebecca is active, courageous in such a cruel society.She thinks that her talent and beauty were not worse than the other girls, so she should have the same right as them to pursue a comfortable life. But things are not like that, she doesn’t get due respect. In order to make a living, she studied in a Pinkerton female school, and at the same time she needs to work to feed herself. In the school, she suffered from a lot discrimination by those children who are from a rich upper class family, just because she was born in a poor lowest class family. A long with these discriminations and difficulties, she realized nobody could help her but herself, she becomes more and more courageous to face those difficulties in her life and make plans for her future. She tries to become excellent as the other girls, she has inherited her father’s artistic talent and her mother’s performing arts, and also has the independent ability to life. All these make other girls from look at her with new eyes. From the other side can also be seen that she is courageous and rebellious. Rebecca changes the traditional marriage and family patterns that husband is a controller while wife should be obedient. She makes the marriage as a stepping stone, she flatters the others, also causes the others to flatter her. Her marriage can only contribute to her road of getting wealthy.At the same time, hard life makes her become an intelligent and competent woman. In addition to her wicked tricks, we can see that she can think of all kinds of means on her way to step into the upper society.When she and Rawdon lives a year in Paris, they don’t have income, Rebecca thinks of different ways to borrow money. It is she who spreadthe rumor that Rawdon has inherited the large a lot of money from hisrich aunt, so that they can get out of Paris without paying any debts, since she has ordered a newly decorated apartment against her return.It is she who settles for a percentage of Rawdon’s debt in England,so that he may return to London for a fresh start. This can turn outshe is very competent and intelligent.3.3 An Invincible and Adventurous RebeccaRebecca is different from the obedient and passive Victorian women, she is invincible and venturous. In order to please Miss Crawley, she spent two weeks in the hospital accompanying Miss Crawley. Although the job is busy and tired, she maintains her composure. And when her husband Crawley discovers the illicit between Rebecca and Lord Steyne, she is subjected to the social criticism and contempt, she is rebuffed everywhere, but never yield. Whenever she wants to find a shelter for herself, the society smashes it completely, and she has to start from the very beginning. Although it is really difficult for a woman, she still tries to win the good reputation for herself and be a good upper class woman. We are happy to see that she recovers herself in the end, and continuously struggle for gaining what she wants. All the things turn out she is invincible and ambitious.In order to achieve her life goals, she flirts with people who can control the society and causes people flirts with her too. She has to do something adventurous to pay for her means. Marriage for Rebecca is more an economic business venture than a sentimental union. She staked her marriage to pave her way to enter the upper class. Women should be passive and obedient in England that time, however Rebecca is an independent woman.She does everything for herself, she is an smart woman who insists on pursuing independence and insists on her own judgment. She is a new woman in Victorian times, she dares to challenge the world. From these it turns out that she is ambitious and adventurous.4. The Comparison between the Two Women CharactersAs Amelia is a kind, pure, but obedient and passive woman. Rebecca is a cunning, evil, but courageous, and intelligent woman. The two women seem to have many differences from each other. What causes these differences? As the saying goes, people from different class, they will be different. Different family and education leads to their different ways of living and different attitudes to life.4.1 Different BackgroundsRebecca and Amelia are both Pinkerton school’s students, but their family education is totally different. They are from different backgrounds and receive different educations, which is also decisive in their future behaviors.Amelia’s living environment is stable; she was born in a rich family in the upper society. Since she is from upper society, girls in Pinkerton all like her, they think Amelia is kind like an angel. All the people around her give her love, her parents and brothers, friends and servants. So Amelia thinks the world is so beautiful, she couldn’t find any defects. She couldn’t see the essence of the society live in such a superior life, and can’t adapt to the changes of social environment. When her family ruined, she even dares to face the reality, she only remembers theconformable life before, living in her own memory. It turns out she is passive and obedient.On the contrary, Rebecca was born in a very poor family, in the lowest class of society. And her parents died when she was very young and they didn’t leave any property to her. Because of her humble social status, she lives a poor and discriminatory life. We can know that she has already met a lot of difficulties when she was a child. However the hypocoristic society makes her have such a sense that she should struggle to step into the upper society, so that she can live a comfortable life. The poor life makes her a strong and rebellious woman.4.2 Different Attitudes to LoveAmelia is a typical and traditional Victorian woman. Love is one of the most important things for her, she tries her best to love her husband, considers her husband as her Europe, her King, her Sun and her Moon. She is a typical image as an understanding wife in a patriarchal society, her husband and children seem to be all her life. She relies on George, but George is a dandy who can’t bring her ideal happiness. Even when her husband died in the war, a lot of men love her, but she refuses their love. She said “George is my husband, he, here and in heaven”. Amelia‘s loyalty and long, blind devotion to her husband amount almost to stupidity. She regards loyal love and sweet family to be the only goal of her life.For the love, Rebecca is a member of the utilitarian school. In life she always shows a shrewd cunning, seek nothing but profits only, her life goal is to enter the upper class. She takes advantages of her beauty, intelligence and all the conditions she own to help her achieve her goal. Her marriage is not a exception. She doesn’t love anyone except herself.She wants to marry Joseph, Amelia’s stupid brother, she pretends to fall in love with him and teases him, but finally she failed. Then she takes advantage of her wisdom to win the old lady -- Miss Crawley’s favor, only because she wants to marry Miss Crawley’s nephew, she thinks that Crawley could inherit a big fortune from his aunt. She makes the marriage as a stepping stone, she flatters the others, also causes the others to flatter her. Her marriage can only contribute to her road of getting wealthy. Rebecca never seeks the true love, “love” for her is only a tool to help her get the money and fame, occupy a space for her in the upper society. "Love" in Rebecca’s life dictionary was coupled with the "practical", "practical love" helps her finally gain fame and fortune, but she has lost the worthwhile things that fame and fortune never can replace.4.3 Different Attitudes to Difficulties and Fate.Amelia is a weak, innocent woman, born in a superior family, she seems to love everyone around her and others love her too. Fate for her seems to be arranged already, to be a good woman, then a good wife, finally a good mother. Although she has higher education, she doesn’t know how to face difficulties and fight with fate. When her family ruined, she still lost in her ideal dream. She is a mediocre woman, unable to resist the fate, pursuing nothing but h er own “true love” blindly.“love” is the life goal for Amelia, devoting her whole life to her husband and son. When she was young, she depends on her parents, when she gets married, she depends on her husband. When her husband died in the war, she depends on Dobbin who loves her from the very beginning but she never takes any notice. From she graduated until she gets married with Dobbin at last, she lives in a obedient and suffering life. She gets lost in her ideal dream, relies her fate on other people.Rebecca is an invincible and independent image; We can see that she has already met a lot of difficulties when she was a child. But she never yielded to such bitter days, instead she struggled in a hypocritical world. It turns out that Rebecca is active, courageous in such a cruel society.We can see that fate never treats her well, but she accepts those unfairness bravely instead of complain about her difficulties. Doesn’t like Amelia, she was born in a poor background. She can only rely on herself. Although on her way perusing the rich life, she tricks other people, flirting with men, it turns out she is venturous and brave in such a cruel society. At the end, she changes her fate and proves her abilities to others. It would never be possible to achieve her goal if were not Rebecca’s steady struggle with her fate by holding positive attitude whenever she meets difficulties.5. ConclusionThis is a novel without a hero; from the above analysis we can see that both Amelia and Rebecca have their advantages and disadvantages. Amelia is kind and pure but sometimes she is selfish and obedient. Rebecca is courageous and competent but on the other side she is cunning and evil. According to the characteristics of British society in the early nineteenth century, the different images of the two women are the chief representatives of the women of that time, and both are the victims of the society only in different ways; they all struggle to make their ways in such a cruel society at that time.It gives a conclusion at last, different living environments leads to different characters, and the social reality leads to different fates. You can’t choose your birth environments, but you should try your best to be a person with goodcharacters. Therefore it provokes people especially women to contemplate how women should live their lives.In fact, women should be independent, no matter what society they live in. they need to establish their own goals and social circles, so that they are not passive and obedient to their families and they can live a more colorful life. Rebecca and Amelia just embody their value through financial dependence on men, either utilizing them or succumbing to them.A good mentality is also important for women, which is not only refers to a good understanding of human world, but also refers to the positive attitudes to difficulties and fate. Never yield to fate and difficulties, to be strong-minded , to live simply, to think quietly. So women should live positively and struggle actively against difficulties and unfair fate. That is why she appears more positive than Amelia and is never defeated by those difficulties in her unfair fate.Besides, no matter in which ages, girls should be a kind and pure like Amelia. A cunning and evil girl like Rebecca can never be imitated. Girls should own a beautiful heart, to be a warm-hearted woman, to love others; therefore other people will also love you. Let the past pass, it is no use to blame yourself or others. In the novel, Amelia can forgive Rebecca’s mistakes and regard Rebecca as her friend. It can be seen that she is very kind just like an angel.Finally women are supposed to live fully and confidently, even when life is bitter for her. Though Rebecca was born in a poor family, she never lost her confidence. However Amelia should be confident like Rebecca, to pursue her true life instead of submitting to fate.Different living environment leads to different characters, and the social reality leads to different fates. No matter what kind of environments we were born, people should try to make a difference. We should be a kind and pure girl like Amelia, and be a rebellious, courageous,smart girl like Rebecca. If I was a poor girl like Rebecca, I will try my best to make a different. Although it will be difficult to make progress, but I think it is worth a try. If I were a rich girl like Amelia, I will try tomake a better use of this property instead of enjoying and wasting it. Different people have different pursuits, such as money, social status, happiness, etc, what we should remember is that keep on struggling to your goal with right methods, one day you will succeed!References[1] Beauvoir Simone de.The Second Sex[M].

关键词：《名利场》萨克雷社会腐化主流文化Reveal the Reasons of Social Corruption tThrough Vanity FairAbstract：Vanity Fair is the famous critical realism masterpiece of William Makepeace Thackeray in the 19th century. Thackeray in the novel created a wide variety of characters; most of the people are full of selfish and hypocrisy. By analyzing the characters, we can come to this conclusion: that his society had corrupted. There are three reasons for social corruption. Firstly, rapid development of social economy, great wealth is the material basis for social corruption. The Second one, the direction of mainstream culture, a healthy mainstream culture can effectively inhibit the negative culture. The last one, people's mental state in social life, mental state here refers to people's subjective dynamic-role to the mainstream culture, namely whether people follow the mainstream culture.Key words: Vanity Fair Thackeray social corruption mainstream cultureContentsIntroduction (1)Chapter 1 Social Corruption Study of Vanity Fair through Material Development and Social Mainstream Culture1.1 The Effect of Material Development to Social C orruption (2)1.2 The Effect of Social Mainstream Culture to Social C orruption (2)Chapter 2 Social Corruption Study of Vanity Fair through People’s Mental State2.1 The Mental State of Ruling Class (3)2.2 The Mental State of Middle C lass (4)2.3 The Mental State of the Lower Classes (4)Conclusion (5)Bibliography (6)Reveal the Reasons of Social CorruptionThrough Vanity FairIntroductionLike many novels of the time, Vanity Fair was published as a serial before being sold in book form; it was printed in 20 monthly parts between January 1847 and July 1848. (As was standard practice, the last part was a "double number" containing parts 19 and 20.) The parts resembled pamphlets, and contained the text of several chapters between outer pages of steel-plate engravings and advertising. Woodcut engravings, which could be set along with normal moveable type, appeared within the text. The same engraved illustration appeared on the canary-yellow cover of each monthly part; this colour became Thackeray's signature (as a light blue-green was Dickens'), allowing passers-by to notice a new Thackeray number in a bookstall from a distance. Vanity Fair was the first work that Thackeray published under his own name, and was extremely well-received at the time. Most modern editions either do not reproduce all the illustrations, or reproduce them so badly that much detail is lost.In Thackeray’s work there are many similarities with Bunyan's "Vanity Fair". In the Vanity Fair, they teased life, plotting, preparation of lies, flattery noble, fighting each other. Thackeray meant the book to be not only entertaining but also instructive, an intention demonstrated through the book's narration and through Thackeray's private correspondence. According to analysis we can find that in the work it shows us the corruption of society. First it shows us the highly developing capital society through various picture of corruption both in material and spirit. Then Thackeray describes different people who stand for different class. This thesis analyzes the social state from the aspect of social material development and the social culture. Furthermore it also classifies the figures into different classes to analyze their mental state as a certain group. At last we find the reason for corruption.1. Social Corruption Study of V anity Fair through Material Development and Social Mainstream CultureIn this part just as we mentioned we analyze the influence of capitalism on corruption. The first aspect is material development. The second is social mainstream culture.1.1 The Effect of Material Development to Social CorruptionAfter 1801, the United Kingdom won the final war with France lasting for 14 years. British Royal Navy controlled the seas, its foreign trade doubled; its commercial also got a great development. War expands the scope of the British colony, providing cheap raw materials, industrial products also provide the majority of the market, creating a favorable environment for industrial development. With the help of new machines, the United Kingdom continuously improves its productivity which is several times the speed of development. Industrial output of the UK is also rising in the mid-19th century, Britain has become the world's most advanced country.The rapid development of industrial also speeds the urbanization. Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow and other large industrial cities raise rapidly, a large number of rural people swarmed to cities; the United Kingdom is extremely rapid process of urbanization.Drifting away in rural civilization, rural way of life is gradually fading out of sight, replaced by a new lifestyle and philosophy.In the work we can see the highly developed economy. It is development of economy that paves the way for British; also it provides the hotbed for the corruption of the people.1.2 The Effect of Social Mainstream Culture to Social CorruptionIn the work we can see that the process of industrialization, the industrial bourgeoisie and the interests of the working class from the past gradually evolved into antagonistic classes. In the Industrial Revolution, large industrial machinery gradually replaced handicraft production; workers have become the accessories of machine. Maximize profits is the object of capitalists, they do everything possible to increase working hours, increasing labor intensity with lower wage even if women and children. Capitalists can not give workers the necessary safety. Poor workingenvironment, serious health hazards threat workers’ health and personal safety. "Market competition, also caused a large number of the poor. To the late 19th century, Britain had nearly a million people unemployed. The development of capitalism comes to the free heyday, bourgeois contempt for human rights, not to the unemployed and the poor as they think, that poverty is due to "personal laziness". With such ideas as a guide, 1834, under the impetus of the industrial bourgeoisie, the government enacted a "Poor Law." This law established in the country workhouse, where no source of income, in need of social assistance is required to enter the workhouse. But the poor were still forced to do heavy manual labor with extremely poor living conditions.This change people ideal about society, people become money worship they try their best to make money for life. Money becomes the only rule of judging a person.Chapter 2 Social Corruption Study of V anity Fair through People’s Mental State In the work different figures stand for different classes, here we will analyze the mental state of different classes according to the figures.2.1 The Mental State of Ruling ClassRepresentative figure: George Osborne.George Osborne is the son of businessman, here we choose him as the representative figure. May be he can not stand all the capitalists in his time but he shows the mental state of the most capitalists. George Osborne, Amelia's husband, the only son of the rich businessman. He is a handsome young man, but his behavior and appearance quite different. his corrupt ideas are full of bourgeois hedonism. As a son, Osborne exhausted all means to cheat money from his father, but never wanted to return to his father. He had to respect for his father on the surface, because the old Osborne controlled the economic lifeline of inheriting his fortune. As a husband, Osborne is a liar; he does not love his wife. As an unborn child's father, he never take his responsibility, he just was waste of money, as usual, never consider the child's future. As an officer, he favors the war, not for defending the country of foreignaggression, but wants to get a higher rank and profit. Sometimes he like children, do not know what is right and what is wrong. He never considers the consequences and things that bring harm to others. He deceived anyone, even himself, because he always thought Becky like himself.From the analysis we can draw the conclusion that the Ruling Class--- capitalists got lost in their time, in their mind all that they considering is themselves---how to find joys, their corruption dominate the society.2.2 The Mental State of Middle ClassRepresentative figure: DobbinDobbin manages to be the so-called Middle Class as his position---captain. He has conscience, compassion and deep feelings. But in his time, he inevitably is considered a bit strange. He helps Amelia marry to George in order to make Amelia happy. Dobbin thinks that Amelia is the ideal wife. After he knew Osborne wanted to run away, he did not tell the secret Amelia, he tried his best to persuade Osborne. Dobbin takes initiative to protect Amelia. After the past few years, Dobbin tired of his role. At the end of the novel, Dobbin found his mistake and finally tell him for Amelia and his own view: I know how deep your feelings, it is not loyalty to the memory of the past, do not think that my love is more valuable, but I'm feeling more generous. Finally, Becky made her the only good choice in her life - she exposed the negative sense of George Osborne’s behavior and contributed to their marriage.From the analysis we can draw the conclusion that the Middle Class got pressure in that time. They had to suffer all the difficulty for happiness, may be most of them do not so corrupt but they can not change the reality of corruption. The only thing that they can do is to help to others.2.3 The Mental State of the Lower ClassesRepresentative figure: Rebecca Sharp, Amelia SedleyRebecca Sharp is the heroine of the novel. She is a cunning, selfish, hypocritical woman debauchery. She is clever, beautiful, and desperate to use her own advantagesto find a position in the noble class. Rebecca Sharp is the daughter of a drunkard and poor female dancers. Becky's object of her life is to obtain wealth and noble status in society. Her dream is to become such a person: both flatter people, also be flattered by others. Thus Becky is ready to do everything - deception, betrayal even ruining the lives of others. Everyone is a ladder designed for her, she raise higher and higher, both in money and power. Once she does not need this person, she would have no hesitation abandon him. The author reveals the attitude of her heart---greed, callous and self-interest. Although Becky is a strong-willed, energetic woman, she will never achieve her goals and dreams, because a woman such as Becky can not fin real happiness and joys. Obviously, Becky is not a hero.Amelia benefit is another heroine. In the novel, the author describes her as a good mother of her son, loyalty to her husband, good daughter to her parents, but she also has a lot of hidden shortcomings. Thackeray's satire of Amelia is no less than Becky's irony. It was only after a very long time, in the end of the novel, Becky came to open the eyes of Amelia, and give her the letter Osborne wrote to her, and then she knew the nature of Osborne. Because Amelia is relying on fantasy to survive, so her entire life seems empty and the lack of real content.From the analysis we can draw the conclusion that the lower Classes is in the bottom of society. They suffer o lot to survive. The only thing that they can do just as Rebecca and Amelia---trying their best to reach the top class or relying on their on husband.ConclusionWe can draw the conclusion that the corruption of society has three main reasons, the first one the highly developed productivity which pave the basis for corruption, the second reason, the ruling class corrupt themselves. The third one, the lower class does not have the realization to revolt the corruption.Bibliography[1] (英)威·梅·萨克雷( W.M.Thackeray ). Vanity Fai r. 世界图书出版公司. 2008(2).[2] Roger W. Shay and Anna Shnakal.

You will become unwittingly disgusting, with your own interests as the center, but eventually depravity.There are two main characters in the work, Becky, summer and Emilia. The different fortunes of their honor and disgrace constitute two parallel plot clues, which strung up a colorful picture of British social life. Xia pun is a typical bourgeois adventurer and speculator. Her character is characterized by two faces, three words, one with honey, and one with one s teeth. Her extreme egoism outlook on life, her tenacious and veritable talent, her adventurous spirit and impudent pursuit of fame and wealth, all embodies the characteristics of the bourgeoisie in the period of free competition. She was the daughter of a poor painter who had been disregarded by school and society from an early age. The social status of humiliation and the inconstancy of humiliation twisted her soul, and the desire to climb into the bourgeois upper class made her selfish and cold. Under the influence of the social atmosphere of admiring vanity and pursuit of money, she quickly fell into a wild family and a conspirators, determined to rely on beauty and conspiracy, to squeeze into the upper class, and to hunt for wealth and power. At the first Vanity Fair, her first goal was the bourgeois grand master, Joss. She was a bit of a coquettish, and she was quick to make a simple Jo as drunken. When the two people were very hot, she found the Playboy Rodon may inherit a big legacy, so she took the wind and seduced Roden s elopement, creating a marriage. Then, with herown bright makeup, she drew out a series of romantic events and pulled the dignitaries of general dvelto and Lord dant into their arms.

And Amy Leah, the child of a rich family, was spoiled everywhere, and there was hardly any difficulty in her growing up on her way. Because of that, she did not need to work hard to get into the upper class, so she became naive and even silly. Through the introduction of these two characters, the British society is a world that pursues money and glory; it also shows that the pursuit of fame and wealth not only destroys himself, but also destroys others, and it is the so-called harm to others .The fame and fortune has been washed out and eliminated from generation to generation, but there is still a ambition to try and try itas if life was the only way of life. Thackeray saw through the mysteries , written in the eyes of the world, with a goose feather pen to write down a page of lamentable people. In order to say goodbye to this drama, the old guy who said the story picked up the box, put up a puppet, and closed the curtain.。

名利场故事梗概英文版400字Vanity Fair:A Novel without a Hero is written by William Makepeace Thackeray. This novel tells the lives of two starkly contrasted girls: Becky Sharp, orphaned and poor but ingenious, and Amelia Sedley, sheltered daughter of a rich city merchant. They two meet at Miss Pinkerton’s Academy for young ladies, the former driven by social ambition, while the latter by her delicate heart. And it satirizes the society in early19th-century Britain. The book gives me an entire view of the life which is pretty extravagant. It tells us that Becky is a beautiful,strong-willed and cunning young woman who is determined to make her way to the upper society. She makes every possible effort by hooking or by crooking to get rid of poverty. And she failed in the end. By contrast, Amelia Sedley is a good-natured, loveable though simple-minded young girl. She does not understand what life is. And she is portrayed by her husband and friend Becky. She is such a coward that she does not run counter to her fate and always accepts the reality quite contently as it is. She is so pitiful and conventional. Yet God blesses her, she comes across a perfect man Dobbin and gets married to him at last.After finished reading, I found that a vanity fair is a hypocritical, commercial and money-grabbing aristocratic society. Although the book was written in the 19th century, it still can reflect the reality nowadays. In our society, some people are unable to see things clearly. They are confused because their minds are full of wealth, power, vanity and so on. And they become slaves of vanity eventually. Since vanity fair is a trap that everyone is likely to step into, we had better be careful when we are pursuing something.。

关键词：《名利场》萨克雷社会腐化主流文化Reveal the Reasons of Social Corruption tThrough Vanity FairAbstract：Vanity Fair is the famous critical realism masterpiece of William Makepeace Thackeray in the 19th century. Thackeray in the novel created a wide variety of characters; most of the people are full of selfish and hypocrisy. By analyzing the characters, we can come to this conclusion: that his society had corrupted. There are three reasons for social corruption. Firstly, rapid development of social economy, great wealth is the material basis for social corruption. The Second one, the direction of mainstream culture, a healthy mainstream culture can effectively inhibit the negative culture. The last one, people's mental state in social life, mental state here refers to people's subjective dynamic-role to the mainstream culture, namely whether people follow the mainstream culture.Key words: Vanity Fair Thackeray social corruption mainstream cultureContentsIntroduction (1)Chapter 1 Social Corruption Study of Vanity Fair through Material Development and Social Mainstream Culture1.1 The Effect of Material Development to Social C orruption (2)1.2 The Effect of Social Mainstream Culture to Social C orruption (2)Chapter 2 Social Corruption Study of Vanity Fair through People’s Mental State2.1 The Mental State of Ruling Class (3)2.2 The Mental State of Middle C lass (4)2.3 The Mental State of the Lower Classes (4)Conclusion (5)Bibliography (6)Reveal the Reasons of Social CorruptionThrough Vanity FairIntroductionLike many novels of the time, Vanity Fair was published as a serial before being sold in book form; it was printed in 20 monthly parts between January 1847 and July 1848. (As was standard practice, the last part was a "double number" containing parts 19 and 20.) The parts resembled pamphlets, and contained the text of several chapters between outer pages of steel-plate engravings and advertising. Woodcut engravings, which could be set along with normal moveable type, appeared within the text. The same engraved illustration appeared on the canary-yellow cover of each monthly part; this colour became Thackeray's signature (as a light blue-green was Dickens'), allowing passers-by to notice a new Thackeray number in a bookstall from a distance. Vanity Fair was the first work that Thackeray published under his own name, and was extremely well-received at the time. Most modern editions either do not reproduce all the illustrations, or reproduce them so badly that much detail is lost.In Thackeray’s work there are many similarities with Bunyan's "Vanity Fair". In the Vanity Fair, they teased life, plotting, preparation of lies, flattery noble, fighting each other. Thackeray meant the book to be not only entertaining but also instructive, an intention demonstrated through the book's narration and through Thackeray's private correspondence. According to analysis we can find that in the work it shows us the corruption of society. First it shows us the highly developing capital society through various picture of corruption both in material and spirit. Then Thackeray describes different people who stand for different class. This thesis analyzes the social state from the aspect of social material development and the social culture. Furthermore it also classifies the figures into different classes to analyze their mental state as a certain group. At last we find the reason for corruption.1. Social Corruption Study of V anity Fair through Material Development and Social Mainstream CultureIn this part just as we mentioned we analyze the influence of capitalism on corruption. The first aspect is material development. The second is social mainstream culture.1.1 The Effect of Material Development to Social CorruptionAfter 1801, the United Kingdom won the final war with France lasting for 14 years. British Royal Navy controlled the seas, its foreign trade doubled; its commercial also got a great development. War expands the scope of the British colony, providing cheap raw materials, industrial products also provide the majority of the market, creating a favorable environment for industrial development. With the help of new machines, the United Kingdom continuously improves its productivity which is several times the speed of development. Industrial output of the UK is also rising in the mid-19th century, Britain has become the world's most advanced country.The rapid development of industrial also speeds the urbanization. Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow and other large industrial cities raise rapidly, a large number of rural people swarmed to cities; the United Kingdom is extremely rapid process of urbanization.Drifting away in rural civilization, rural way of life is gradually fading out of sight, replaced by a new lifestyle and philosophy.In the work we can see the highly developed economy. It is development of economy that paves the way for British; also it provides the hotbed for the corruption of the people.1.2 The Effect of Social Mainstream Culture to Social CorruptionIn the work we can see that the process of industrialization, the industrial bourgeoisie and the interests of the working class from the past gradually evolved into antagonistic classes. In the Industrial Revolution, large industrial machinery gradually replaced handicraft production; workers have become the accessories of machine. Maximize profits is the object of capitalists, they do everything possible to increase working hours, increasing labor intensity with lower wage even if women and children. Capitalists can not give workers the necessary safety. Poor workingenvironment, serious health hazards threat workers’ health and personal safety. "Market competition, also caused a large number of the poor. To the late 19th century, Britain had nearly a million people unemployed. The development of capitalism comes to the free heyday, bourgeois contempt for human rights, not to the unemployed and the poor as they think, that poverty is due to "personal laziness". With such ideas as a guide, 1834, under the impetus of the industrial bourgeoisie, the government enacted a "Poor Law." This law established in the country workhouse, where no source of income, in need of social assistance is required to enter the workhouse. But the poor were still forced to do heavy manual labor with extremely poor living conditions.This change people ideal about society, people become money worship they try their best to make money for life. Money becomes the only rule of judging a person.Chapter 2 Social Corruption Study of V anity Fair through People’s Mental State In the work different figures stand for different classes, here we will analyze the mental state of different classes according to the figures.2.1 The Mental State of Ruling ClassRepresentative figure: George Osborne.George Osborne is the son of businessman, here we choose him as the representative figure. May be he can not stand all the capitalists in his time but he shows the mental state of the most capitalists. George Osborne, Amelia's husband, the only son of the rich businessman. He is a handsome young man, but his behavior and appearance quite different. his corrupt ideas are full of bourgeois hedonism. As a son, Osborne exhausted all means to cheat money from his father, but never wanted to return to his father. He had to respect for his father on the surface, because the old Osborne controlled the economic lifeline of inheriting his fortune. As a husband, Osborne is a liar; he does not love his wife. As an unborn child's father, he never take his responsibility, he just was waste of money, as usual, never consider the child's future. As an officer, he favors the war, not for defending the country of foreignaggression, but wants to get a higher rank and profit. Sometimes he like children, do not know what is right and what is wrong. He never considers the consequences and things that bring harm to others. He deceived anyone, even himself, because he always thought Becky like himself.From the analysis we can draw the conclusion that the Ruling Class--- capitalists got lost in their time, in their mind all that they considering is themselves---how to find joys, their corruption dominate the society.2.2 The Mental State of Middle ClassRepresentative figure: DobbinDobbin manages to be the so-called Middle Class as his position---captain. He has conscience, compassion and deep feelings. But in his time, he inevitably is considered a bit strange. He helps Amelia marry to George in order to make Amelia happy. Dobbin thinks that Amelia is the ideal wife. After he knew Osborne wanted to run away, he did not tell the secret Amelia, he tried his best to persuade Osborne. Dobbin takes initiative to protect Amelia. After the past few years, Dobbin tired of his role. At the end of the novel, Dobbin found his mistake and finally tell him for Amelia and his own view: I know how deep your feelings, it is not loyalty to the memory of the past, do not think that my love is more valuable, but I'm feeling more generous. Finally, Becky made her the only good choice in her life - she exposed the negative sense of George Osborne’s behavior and contributed to their marriage.From the analysis we can draw the conclusion that the Middle Class got pressure in that time. They had to suffer all the difficulty for happiness, may be most of them do not so corrupt but they can not change the reality of corruption. The only thing that they can do is to help to others.2.3 The Mental State of the Lower ClassesRepresentative figure: Rebecca Sharp, Amelia SedleyRebecca Sharp is the heroine of the novel. She is a cunning, selfish, hypocritical woman debauchery. She is clever, beautiful, and desperate to use her own advantagesto find a position in the noble class. Rebecca Sharp is the daughter of a drunkard and poor female dancers. Becky's object of her life is to obtain wealth and noble status in society. Her dream is to become such a person: both flatter people, also be flattered by others. Thus Becky is ready to do everything - deception, betrayal even ruining the lives of others. Everyone is a ladder designed for her, she raise higher and higher, both in money and power. Once she does not need this person, she would have no hesitation abandon him. The author reveals the attitude of her heart---greed, callous and self-interest. Although Becky is a strong-willed, energetic woman, she will never achieve her goals and dreams, because a woman such as Becky can not fin real happiness and joys. Obviously, Becky is not a hero.Amelia benefit is another heroine. In the novel, the author describes her as a good mother of her son, loyalty to her husband, good daughter to her parents, but she also has a lot of hidden shortcomings. Thackeray's satire of Amelia is no less than Becky's irony. It was only after a very long time, in the end of the novel, Becky came to open the eyes of Amelia, and give her the letter Osborne wrote to her, and then she knew the nature of Osborne. Because Amelia is relying on fantasy to survive, so her entire life seems empty and the lack of real content.From the analysis we can draw the conclusion that the lower Classes is in the bottom of society. They suffer o lot to survive. The only thing that they can do just as Rebecca and Amelia---trying their best to reach the top class or relying on their on husband.ConclusionWe can draw the conclusion that the corruption of society has three main reasons, the first one the highly developed productivity which pave the basis for corruption, the second reason, the ruling class corrupt themselves. The third one, the lower class does not have the realization to revolt the corruption.Bibliography[1] (英)威·梅·萨克雷( W.M.Thackeray ). Vanity Fai r. 世界图书出版公司. 2008(2).[2] Roger W. Shay and Anna Shnakal.
