My thoughts about Becky
Minami Nagai
I read some books about governesses before, but none of them are so stubborn and sly like Becky.Since I had an stereotypical image of governesses that they are very submissive, I was surprised by Becky's slyness. However, I think what makes this book interesting is Becky.If she was submissive, Vanity Fair wouldn't make me want to read more of this book. At first, Becky was definitely not my favorite character, but I noticed that the more I read ,the more I become fan of her. She is a very strong woman and if she wants something, she will get them. She had to be so in order to survive the society. On the other hand, since Amelia grew up in a good environment, she became a very good girl (I would say too good),which I think makes her boring person.Also the fact that she is not expressive about her feelings frustrated me.What is your thoughts about these two women I mentioned?
I do think Becky's ambitious personality makes her an interesting character, but I think she focuses too much on becoming wealthy would make her live a happier life. I actually feel sorry for her not trying to seek happiness in other ways .
