Summary:

Amelia Sedley and Rebecca Sharn were good friends, and they had completed their studies. They were preparing to depart for Amelia’s house in Russell Square and to live out their lives in “Vanity Fair”. Rebecca was an orphan; she was poor but very beautiful and ingenious. Amelia is the daughter of a rich City merchant. Rebecca was longing for the life of upper class and she took advantages of her beauty and intelligence to make it. In 1815, the two girls got married. Rebecca made full use of her husband Rawdon to meet many famous nobles in order to enter the Vanity Fair. In the meantime, Amelia was enjoying her newlywed with her husband George. However, the Battle of Waterloo made Amelia become widow and the two girls’ fates had begun to change. Rawdon had clearly known Rebecca’s voracity and departed from her. Rebecca found her place in society almost in the end. At the end of the story, Amelia led a happy life and Rebecca lost everything.

Thoughts and feelings:

There is a sentence that I learn from Vanity Fair: Here was a man, who could not spell, and did not care to read -- who had the habits and the cunning of a boor; who never had a taste, or emotion, or enjoyment, but what was disgusting and foul; and yet in Vanity Fair he had a higher place than the man of most brilliant genius or spotless virtue. I think some people in this book are just behaving like this.

After read Vanity Fair I have learnt that in the 18th century, the British were crazy for fame and fortune. They all hoped to enter into the Vanity Fair. But, I do hate the Vanity Fair, because in Vanity Fair, everyone exchanges with other people with masks. What they have seen is also not true. To tell you the truth, I look down upon Rebecca. She has been polluted by the Vanity Fair. I wonder if she ever regards Amelia as her best friend and shows her true care to Amelia. I have to admit that Rebecca is very ingenious. She knows how to attract men’s attention and lies easily and intelligently to get her way. Nearly everything she does is with the intention to secure a stable position for her. Maybe, Rebecca just wants to live a rich life, but the method is wrong and I think she deserves the ending.

提及"枭雄"一词，立即给人一种精警防备之感。虽然枭雄一词究竟何意不能准确道来，但长期在汉语语境中生活的人们，都能对枭雄做出历史人物的举例，或者近似正确的解释。可见"枭雄"二字，和中国人有着不解之缘。按汉代许慎撰《说文解字》曰: "枭,不孝鸟也。故日至捕枭磔之,字从鸟头,在木上。"...
