Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair is a social satire on England during the Napoleonic wars. Becky Sharp is a scheming clever girl who is the daughter of a French chorus girl and an English drawing master. Her aim and desire through out the story is to never be poor. And will use any means necessary to get what she wants. Her foil, Amelia Sedley, is a sweet submissive girl who plays by society's rules.
