Summary "La foire aux vanités, Tome I" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the lives of young women, particularly focusing on Amélia Sedley and Rebecca Sharp, as they navigate the complexities of society, ambition, and relationships. The narrative critiques vanity and social aspirations, showcasing how characters strive for status amidst the chaotic social landscape of their time. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Miss Pinkerton's boarding school, where Miss Amélia Sedley prepares to leave after six years of education. As the scene unfolds, we meet Rebecca Sharp, a canny and ambitious young woman who, despite her humble background, is determined to improve her social standing. The interactions between the girls, their governess, and the domestic staff highlight the contrasts in their personalities and social aspirations, with Amélia embodying innocence and kindness, while Rebecca's cleverness and desire for upward mobility set the stage for future tensions and developments in their trajectories.
