From W.M.THACKERAY, Vanity Fair

Chapter XXX

1.       From his behavior  I can infer  that Capitan Craweley loves Rebecca and he is very worried and sad to have to abandon her.

2.       She is very materialist; she does not care if her husband dies, but is worried if the jewelry and money are sufficient.

3.       My impression of Rebecca ‘s character is confirmed .

4.       In the passage  Thackeray uses the action of the characters to gives us an ironic characterization. The reader is free to form opinions on the characters, because the narrator uses their action to describe their personality. The narrator uses irony to critics the Rebecca’s world, centered on the materiality and not to the feelings. The narrator says with sarcasm  in fact:” what a profusion of jewellery there would be exhibited in the genteelest homes  of Vanity Fair !
