Vanity Fair is Thackeray's main work, and the writer focuses on lying and vicious people. The author believed that there is nothing surprising in kindness, but evil is very curious and interesting to study. Paradoxically, it is against the background of the pettiness and selfishness of Thackeray's characters that the ideals of virtue look most vividly and prominently. Thackeray's contemporaries considered the novel scandalous to the point of indecency, but this did not prevent the author from becoming famous immediately after its release.The writer said that his novel is without a hero, the narrative is based on the story of Becky Sharp, who is ready to do anything to get out of poverty and become a rich, respectable socialite. All the tricks that clever Becky goes to to achieve what she wants are still very much in use. It is no coincidence that Vanity Fair was and remains one of the most popular works in the world.
