"Vanity Fair" Mr. Thackeray himself explained that the subtitle of the novel "A Novel without a Protagonist" better explains Mr. Thackeray's creative intention. He used his actions to illustrate that in the strong background of the so-called "literary heroism" in the 19th century, unique and original novel creations could also profoundly analyze the already rotten society from another perspective. "Vanity Fair" depicts the life of the British upper class in the first half of the 19th century. There are declining nobles, there are nouveau riche, there are opportunistic businessmen, and there are also scheming women who are waiting for a price and trying to change their destiny by marrying into a wealthy family. Almost everyone in the novel has an ugly face. The novel uses the story of two women as the main line, revealing a society like a gladiatorial arena in which the weak and the strong prey on each other and engage in intrigues.

The publication of "Snob's Face" can play a role in exposing snobbery and alerting the world. Snobbery is a very stubborn evil in human society and a major weakness of human nature. William Makepeace Thackeray, a famous British writer in the 19th century, used humorous and pungent language to comprehensively and thoroughly describe the faces of various snobs, which caused a huge sensation in British society at that time. To this day, we can still see all kinds of snobs in various countries and groups.
