Vanity Fair is William Thackery’s masterpiece satire of English society in the Regency era of English history, and includes the Napoleonic war period. It is the story of a poor orphan of humble birth, Becky Sharp, and her ascension to the top of the upper-class social order. A born ‘operator,’ and ‘social climber,’ narcissistic Becky focuses upon raising her social and financial position by using her charms to attract and seduce men of wealth and status. Ultimately, however, Becky sees her success collapse under the heaviness of her own moral deficiency.
