It’s nearly time to begin our show. From behind the curtain, he can see the audience. It’s very noisy out there. There is a great deal of eating and drinking, laughing and smoking and fighting, and dancing. The performance is about to begin. I promise you scenes of battle, of romance and comedy. Our puppets are ready to come on the stage, and we will start our story with Amelia and Becky. And now the manager bows to his audience, and the curtain rises. Let the performance begin! === Our story begins just outside Miss Pinkerton’s Academy for Young Ladies at Chiswick Mall in London. A large family carriage is waiting for two young ladies. They are about to leave the school to begin their life in the adult world. But the two ladies are leaving under very different circumstances. Miss Pinkerton herself looked at the carriage from the window of her office. She was with her sister, Jemima. ‘Have you completed all the preparations for their departure Jemima?’ asked Miss Pinkerton. ‘Everything is ready,’ replied Jemima. ‘Well, send in Amelia Sedley,’ said Miss Pinkerton. 10 AFTER-READING ACTIVITIES Speaking 1 Look again at the predictions you made in exercise 10 on page 121. Were you right? Did anything about the ending of the story surprise you? Note Taking 2 Make some notes about how the story ended for the following characters. 1 Amelia ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 2 Dobbin ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 3 Rawdon ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 4 Becky ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 5 Sir Pitt ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 6 Lady Jane ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 7 Rawdon Jr. ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 8 Georgy ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 9 Joseph ……………………………………………………………………....................………………….....… 132 Writing 3a At the beginning of the book, Thackeray promises us tales of battle, romance and comedy. Write down some examples of stories in the book that fit these descriptions. 1 battle ................................................................................................................ 2 romance ................................................................................................................ 3 comedy ................................................................................................................ 3b What is your favourite moment in the story? Note Taking & Speaking 4a In this chapter Becky asks Dobbin, ‘What is your accusation?’ What had Becky done wrong in the eyes of society? Make a list of the things that she is guilty of. 4b Would Becky be accused of the same things in society today? Discussion Points 5 Becky, like most women in those times, had to wear a mask at the gambling house. Why was this so? Can you think of any activities or professions that were considered unsuitable for women in the past but are acceptable now? 6 ‘Amelia didn’t want to give Dobbin anything, but she wanted him to give her everything. It is a deal that is quite common in love.’ Do you agree with the author’s comments about love and relationships? 7 How important was it that Amelia wrote the letter to Dobbin before reading George’s note? Why did Becky scream with laughter when she found out about this? 8 Look back at the exercise that you did in chapter five on page 78. Are the contents of your note similar to George’s note? 133 FOCUS ON... William Makepeace Thackeray Following his own Path Thackeray was born in Calcutta in India in 1811. His father and grandfather had earned their living working as civil servants in the government of India. But such a steady form of employment was not for Thackeray. He was always independent, and in spite of going to various schools with an excellent reputation, and studying at Cambridge, he left university without getting a degree. He did, however, study Art in Paris in about 1834. was a great success. He completed this What Thackeray loved to do was write. While masterpiece when he was 37 years old. at Cambridge, he wrote for a paper called The Snob. His writing was always full of humour Other major works of Thackeray include and satire. He wrote for Fraser’s Magazine in The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon Esq. (1844), 1837, and he was on the staff of the famous Pendennis (1848-1850), The History of Henry satirical magazine Punch from 1842 to 1851. Esmond Esq. (1852), The Newcomers (1853- During this time, he wrote Vanity Fair which 1855), and The Virginians (1857-1859). A Compassionate Man Thackeray was well known for his good nature, as one can see from his time as editor of another journal of the period, The Cornhill Magazine. He began his work there in 1859, but in 1862 he resigned because he couldn’t bear having to turn down contributors who wanted to be published. 134 Other Interests Although Thackeray spent a great deal parliament, unsuccessfully, in Oxford in of time following his main passion, that 1859. His interest in world affairs may of writing, he also had another interest, have begun when he met Napoleon which was gambling. He was extremely Bonaparte on his way back to England interested in politics and stood for from India when he was a child. Thackeray, the Husband and Father Thackeray’s married life was far from simple. His wife was an Irish woman, named Isabella. She was the daughter of a colonel and she had a beautiful singing voice. He modelled the character of Amelia on her. They had three daughters, but sadly one of them died very young. Isabella suffered greatly with mental health problems, although she survived her husband by thirty years. Thackeray himself died on December 24th in 1863. He was buried in Kensal Green in London, but there is a monument to him that can be seen at Westminster Abbey. Portrait of Anne Becher Thackery and William Makepeace Thackeray at about age 2 in Madras As you have just read, Thackeray modelled the character of Amelia on his wife. Reading through some of the details of his life can you identify other facts or events that may have had an influence onVanity Fair? 135.

  • Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
    Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray "Before The Curtain" As the manager of the Performance sits before the curtain on the boards and looks into the Fair, a feeling of profound melancholy comes over him in his survey of the bustling place. There is a great quantity of eating and drinking, making love and jilting, laughing and the contrary, smoking, cheating, fighting, dancing and fiddling; there are bullies pushing about, bucks ogling the women, knaves picking pockets, policemen on the look-out, quacks (other quacks, plague take them!) bawling in front of their booths, and yokels looking up at the tinselled dancers and poor old rouged tumblers, while the light-fingered folk are operating upon their pockets behind. Yes, this is Vanity Fair; not a moral place certainly; nor a merry one, though very noisy. Look at the faces of the actors and buffoons when they come off from their business; and Tom Fool washing the paint off his cheeks before he sits down to dinner with his wife and the little Jack Puddings behind the canvas. The curtain will be up presently, and he will be turning over head and heels, and crying, "How are you?" A man with a reflective turn of mind, walking through an exhibition of this sort, will not be oppressed, I take it, by his own or other people's hilarity. An episode of humour or kindness touches and amuses him here and there—a pretty child looking at a gingerbread stall; a pretty girl blushing whilst her lover talks to her and chooses her fairing; poor Tom Fool, yonder behind the waggon, mumbling his bone with the honest family which lives by his tumbling; but the general impression is one more melancholy than mirthful.

  • Characterization in Social Satire
    Characterization in Social Satire: A comparative analysis of the heroines Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austenʼs Pride and Prejudice, and Becky Sharp in William Makepeace Thackerayʼs Vanity Fair Karaktärisering i samhällssatir: En komparativ analys av hjältinnorna Elizabeth Bennet i Jane Austens Stolthet och Fördom, och Becky Sharp i William Makepeace Thackerays Vanity Fair Elin Berggren Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences English 15HP Supervisor: Åke Bergvall Examiner: Elisabeth Wennö 1 Mars 2016 Elin Berggren Supervisor: Åke Bergvall Abstract This essay presents a comparative analysis of the characterizations of the female protagonists s Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Becky Sharp s Vanity Fair (1847-1848). The analysis is conducted from a gender perspective, and with the use of feminist criticism. The two novels complement each other since they are both satirical images of society, concerning aspects such as class and gender. Also, both novels portray women climbing the class ladder, during the period of the Napoleonic wars. In the comparison, the main focus lies on the social satire constructed around the heroines of these novels. I come to the conclusion s s characterizations are very different from each other, mainly due to their different satirical approaches. This conclusion is put in relation to a patriarchal context and to feminist values. Sammanfattning I denna uppsats presenteras en komparativ analys av karaktäriseringarna av de kvinnliga huvudkaraktärerna Elizabeth Bennet i Jane Austens Stolthet och Fördom (1813), och Becky Sharp i William Makepeace Thackerays Vanity Fair (1847-1848). Analysen är utförd från ett genusperspektiv, och med användning av feministisk samhällskritik. De två romanerna kompletterar varandra då de båda är satiriska illustreringar av samhället, och både rör aspekter såsom klass och genus.

  • How Allegories Mean in the Novel: from Personification to Impersonation in Eighteenth-Century British Fiction
    How Allegories Mean in the Novel: From Personification to Impersonation in Eighteenth-Century British Fiction Janet Min Lee Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Janet Min Lee All rights reserved ABSTRACT How Allegories Mean in the Novel: From Personification to Impersonation in Eighteenth-Century British Fiction Janet Min Lee This dissertation analyzes the legacy of Protestant allegory in eighteenth-century fictions. In doing so, the dissertation shows that personifications and allegorically inflected characters became increasingly opaque and vulnerable to charges of impersonation as the novel developed in the early and middle eighteenth century. I attribute the distortion of allegorical representation to the conflicting yet intermeshed interpretive frameworks that allegory and the novel demand of their readers. For evidence, I primarily analyze John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim Progress, Jonathan Swift’s A Tale of a Tub, Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, and Henry Fielding’s Jonathan Wild.

Thackeray's father passed away four years later, and young William was sent to boarding school in London. Many of his early experiences in India and later in boarding school found their way into several of his popular works, including Vanity Fair and The Newcomes. After his premature departure from Cambridge University and a half-hearted attempt at law school in 1834, Thackeray moved to Paris to concentrate on his art. While studying there, he met and married Isabella Getkin Creach Shawe (1818-1893). The couple had three daughters, Anne Isabella, Harriet Marrian, and Jane who died at age eighteen months. Soon after her daughter's death, Isabella Thackeray suffered a nervous breakdown from which she never recovered. Thackeray was then left with the responsibility of raising two young daughters and supporting his wife who would remain in various sanitoriums for the rest of her life.

It sadly lacks story, and people wont care about old times, or all the trouble I take in describing them. (Thackeray “To W. F. Synge”) 2. a) To say that his novel[ The Virginians ] will not rank with Mr. Thackeray’s best works is very slight blame; to say that it will rank with those of his works which are less good is no slight praise. (Smith Rev. of The Virginians ) 1 b) The Virginians , though it hardly deserves [Douglas] Jerrold’s apocryphal joke about its superlative badness, is Thackeray’s worst major novel. (Sutherland 89) 3. Thackeray began The Virginians in May, 1857, but the idea of the novel had been much in his mind since he wrote the preface to Esmond nearly six years before.
