Eliot & Thackeray

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 3 page essay that discusses how George Eliot in Middlemarch and William M. Thackeray in Vanity Fair craft vivid female characters, who are largely responsible for conveying the themes of the authors in both novels. Becky Sharp and Rosamond Vincy seem cast from the same mold and in both works they convey the disdain of each author for values based on materialism. Likewise, Celia Brooke and Amelia Sedley offer contrasts that underscore the points being made by the authors. No additional sources cited.
