Abstract

Written during the Victorian age and in a strict society, Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray was a book all its own. It is mostly categorized as a satire; however, it speaks volumes about the realities of the time. Women were considered property, and the men laid down the law. There were some women who chose to acquiesce, and some who chose to rebel. Two female characters in Vanity Fair are the epitomes of this principle: Becky Sharp is the latter, while Amelia Sedley represents the former. These two women went from adolescence to adulthood together, each playing a very different role. Their two stories diverge and come together at different points in their lives, but there is always a comparison between the two.
