Becky Sharp, a willful, resourceful, and charming pleasure-seeker, uses her finishing school credentials and connections to get a job as a governess.

Meanwhile, her boarding-school friend Amelia Sedley is honest but poor and must give her son into the care of his grandfather, who will have nothing to do with her. The two meet up again at the novel's ironic climax.Vanity Fair provides a moral tapestry of early 19th-century English manners, with a persistent theme of the folly of the good at heart and the evil of those endowed with grace and wit.
