The author believed that in goodness there is nothing surprising, but evil is very curious and interesting to study. Paradoxically, it is against the background of pettiness and selfishness of Thackeray's characters most brightly and convexly look the ideals of virtue. Thackeray's contemporaries considered the novel scandalous to the point of obscenity, but this did not prevent the author immediately after its release to become famous. The writer said that his novel - without a hero, the narrative is based on the story of Becky Sharp, ready for anything to get out of poverty and become a rich, respectable society lady. All those tricks that goes cunning Becky, to achieve the desired, and now very much in use. It is no coincidence that "Vanity Fair" was and remains one of the most popular works in the world.
