Fame and fortune are important, but not the most important. A work can be read, not because of fame and fortune, but because of personality.
People in Vanity Fair are different. The personalities of the protagonists are so impressive that the gorgeous sets and elaborate photography are all but forgotten. An eighteenth-century writer could write a character as distinct and self-conscious as Miss Sharp, sigh.
Sharp is reminiscent of a song: I can't deny what I believe. From a humble background, she beat and kicked in the aristocratic circle to try to find an upward path. Such efforts have not stopped all her life, because she does not like fame and fortune. , but a state of life overflowing with passion, you want her to change, I'm afraid she can't. Disregarding her pregnancy and personal safety, staying with her friends on a dangerous battlefield is not a matter of fame and fortune, but it is common sense due to her personality.
Next to actor Withers is a little weaker. After so many ups and downs in Vanity Fair, Sharp's second half of his life should be slightly different. But aside from the lipstick color and her slightly bulging belly (the actress herself is pregnant), it's hard to see a due change in her acting skills. This is a common problem with young actors.
