William Makepeace Thackeray’s Vanity Fair is a massive novel that follows the lives of two women: Amelia Sedley, who is naive and sweet and devoted, and Becky Sharp, who is cunning and manipulative and beautiful. But novel’s subtitle is “A Novel without a Hero”, and Thackeray doesn’t paint either woman as entirely good or entirely evil. And as their fortunes rise and fall, they offer a glimpse into the mercurial, ambitious, and often cruel world of Vanity Fair, in which everyone scrambles for money, power, and status, and for what? It’s a world that the narrator lampoons mercilessly while also participating in fully, and Chris and Suzanne start to unpack it—and talk about whether they’re #TeamBecky or #TeamAmelia. (Oh, come on, you know the answer to that one.)
