摘要

In Vanity Fair Thackeray clearly demonstrated his view of women through the characterization of the two main female figures.In Thackeray’ s opinion,Becky Sharp was a rebellious figure,the Victorian " adventuress",while Amelia was the traditional submissive Victorian woman," Angel in the House".Via the narrator’ s comments,the author expressed his own view of women.On the one hand,he approved of Becky’ s rebellion,self-consciousness,courage,self-reliance in times of adversity,and on the other hand disapproved of Amelia’ s weakness,passiveness.As victims of the patriarchal society,both of the women were accorded with much sympathy.
