Interpretation of the novel Vanity FairVanity Fair was the famous work of the 19th century British novelist Thackeray.
The novel described the experiences of two girls with very different backgrounds in Vanity Fair. Rebecca, the daughter of a poor painter, was born poor but smart. She used flattery and unscrupulous methods to try to climb up. For example, after she met the daughter of a rich merchant, Emily, at Pinkerton Girls 'School, she tried to conquer Emily's well-paid brother, Jose. After failing, she went to the Baronet Crowley's house to be a tutor. She also had a small plan to inherit Miss Crowley's inheritance. She privately engaged with Roden, but in the end, she did not get the inheritance. Although she had used all her methods to reach the peak of her life, she had quickly fallen.
As for the daughter of the rich merchant, Amelia, she was kind, generous, sincere, and magnanimous. Despite the hardships of her father's bankruptcy and her husband's death, she relied on her own good qualities to overcome the difficulties step by step and finally gained wealth and happiness.
This novel revealed some profound truths about life:
One was that a person's wealth and poverty might have a cause and effect. The fame and fortune in life had its own arrangements. There was no sudden wealth in life, nor was there eternal poverty. Whether a person was rich or not was related to what he thought and did. Wealth should be earned by his own hard work and virtue, not by scheming against others.
Secondly, everything in the world came with a price. For example, the characters in the novel pursued different things, such as wealth, freedom, fame, and so on. They had to make corresponding sacrifices. For example, some people sacrificed their families in pursuit of wealth. In Vanity Fair, Becky pursued the life of the upper class. Although she achieved her goal for a while, she lost a lot later. Many people who pursued shortcuts enjoyed material life at the cost of losing their families.
Third, kindness without schemes could lead to misfortune. For example, Amelia was pure, kind, and infatuated. She devoted herself to her husband, George, but she did not know that George had married her because of her family's wealth. After her family went bankrupt, they turned against each other. Her kindness put her at a disadvantage in front of people with evil intentions.
