Full title of the novel is: "Vanity Fair. Novel Without a Hero".It was borrowed from the works of John Bunyan's "Pilgrim."Thackeray called Vanity Fair bourgeois-aristocratic society of his time in England.
landlords and bourgeois businessmen, diplomats and members of parliament, government officials and noble lords are the readers of a long line.They live by the laws of Vanity Fair.In the novel, Thackeray is a peculiar form of presentation.The writer compares his characters with puppets and himself - with leading them in motion puppeteer.Thackeray ("Vanity Fair") gives them an assessment, expressed their opinions in a number of derogations.
"Novel Without a Hero" means that the writer is not found in the environment and Crowley Osbournes goodie.However, he does not oppose a simple man of the people selfish bourgeois, such as Dickens.In the novel "Vanity Fair" folk heroes of the environment are not available.Captain Dobbin is a carrier of a positive start.This can be seen by reading the original work of "Vanity Fair".Summary of chapters just scratched the surface reveals the inner world of characters.Dobbin - the only one who retains sympathy and kindness, humility and selflessness.
"Vanity Fair" - a book that is always relevant, as long as there will not be eradicated from human selfishness, which are hidden roots of many of the ills of mankind.
