About This Novel
The protagonist of this book, Miss Rebecca, comes from a humble background and is discriminated against in society. She uses various strategies and even uses sex to seduce and curry favor with the rich and powerful, and she uses all means to climb up. This character is neither evil nor kind, but very humane and completely a product of the times. The book compares the British capitalist society at that time to a vanity fair. The author describes all kinds of social figures, including aristocrats who live a slutty life, capitalists who regard money as life, vulgar and shameless country squires, cynical playboys, colonial vampires-British colonial officials, etc. The whole Vanity Fair is full of greed, hypocrisy, selfishness, following others and cunning.
