Vanity Fair
Book Review
"Vanity Fair" by William Thackeray is a satirical novel that masterfully depicts the vices and hypocrisy of 19th-century English society. Critics note that Thackeray created vivid and memorable characters, such as Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, who embody different aspects of human nature. Becky Sharp, in particular, is admired for her cunning and ambition, despite her moral shortcomings. The book also stands out for its ironic and witty style, which allows the author to critique the social norms and values of the time. Critics emphasize that "Vanity Fair" remains relevant today, as themes of vanity, ambition, and hypocrisy are universal and timeless. The novel is considered one of the greatest works of English literature and an important contribution to the development of the realist genre.
