《名利场》读后感
早在高中的时候就想，等我上大学了有时间一定要多往图书馆泡泡。可是等我真正上大学了才发现这只是一个幻想。当听到我们外语学院要举办第一届读书节的时候，我真是相当高兴，终于有一个可以让我好好读书的动力了。但是我对要读的书却没有目标，刚好精读老师给我们推荐了《名利场》挺感兴趣的，就从网上下载了它的电子版，真是部好书，下面就是我读过之后的一些感想。
一直以来看来我都喜欢那种令人满意的结局，虽然算不上皆大欢喜，不过也够令人为主人公欢呼喝彩的了。好人终究有好报，这估计是大多数英国作家所推崇的英国式的结局，不管中间主人公经历过多少风风雨雨，到最后必然是雨过天晴。名著的精神自然希望把人往好的一方面带，是金子终究会发光。以中国话来说就是，好人有好报吧，看来这一俗语，中西皆适用啊！
屈指数来，这算是我看过的第二部跨越时间较长的小说了，虽然萨克雷没有像罗曼罗兰描写约翰·克里斯多夫那样描写都宾和爱米利亚的一生，但既然这对好人终成眷属，不仅拥有名位和财产，还拥有了子女和真诚的朋友们，接下来的岁月不用说读者也能猜得出来，就是他们的幸福生活了，所以还是让他们早早谢幕，不被外人打扰吧！
这部著作的情节在我看来并不算很老套，虽然它难逃从贫困到发达，从发达到贫困，从发达到贫困再到发达，从贫困到发达
再到贫困这几种老路子，但它描写的内容却是多方面的。蓓基和爱米利亚两个人在这部小说中走的就是不同的路子，甚至可以说她们是名利场上两个截然不同的两方。蓓基为了能在名利场上混个出头之日，实在是使劲了花招。我看着她一步步向着她期望的东西迈进，心里不仅不为她高兴，反而觉得她很可耻，心中的厌恶之情一步步加深，估计大多数读者都是类似的想法。对于并不喜欢钻营，甚至有些傻里傻气的爱米利亚，心中自是另一番情形。她甚至比都宾还要诚实，还要好，以至于我认为如果没有都宾，她也根本不可能有最后幸福的生活。名利场对于她来说，实在是一部难读的巨作。
尽管我不知道萨克雷究竟把谁放在了中心位置，或许是爱米利亚，或许是蓓基，亦或许是都宾。至于美与丑一下子就能区分的很清楚，这出戏告诉我们的也就是美与丑的碰撞，就在现实中，就在名利场上，就在你眼前发生。时代变了又变，但名利场依然是不变的。
现在想想虽然自己现在还是一名大一学生，但也很快就要步入社会。 既然自己也将要走向社会，我只担心自己碰不到像都宾这么好的朋友，而不担心遇见类似于蓓基这样的善于钻营之人。现实有多么美好，我实在说不清楚，如果要按照十分制的话，我估计能给个5分就不错了。萨克雷的戏从来没有断过，名利场这部戏终究会一直演下去，都宾，爱米利亚，蓓基只是许许多多人中的代表罢了，他们虽然走了，还会有更多的人上来，有你，
有我，还有我们的子孙们。
读过《名利场》之后，我才知道为什么我们精读老师说它实在是一部十足的好书。在我看来，这部小说的作者具有先知的能力，他的思想仍适合当今时代发展的要求。
读《名利场》，实属我幸！
I had a dream when i was in high middle school.I thought that i would read many books when i entered university.But when i entered university I found that it just a dream. After i heard that we Shool of Foreign Language held the first activity of reading books,i felt very happy.I had the dynamic of reading books.I remembered that our teacher has recommended a book to us.Its name is Vanity Fair.So i downloaded the book from the Internet. After reading it, i found it really a good book. Thoughts after I've read as follows.Main circumstance of novel may divide two clues. A clue depicts the deceased poor painter's daughter Becky after leaving Pingkedun woman boarding school , stays temporarily at a rich family Miss Amelia's home. But she tries to seduce Amelia 's elder brother to enter good society. After this matter failed, Becky comes to Pitt Crawley’s home as a family teacher, at the same time she plays some cute means such as being unctuous, and ganging with to good use. But when Pitt makes a proposal to Becky after losing spouse,she has already married Knight's son Rawdon. Another clue writes a pure girl Amelia is deeply in love of the officer George Osborne,
surmounts all obstacles finally getting married with him . But her husband abandons her very quickly right away. Amelia is spoony to George, even if after her husband died ,she still is unwilling to
get remarried to others. Final, Becky tells the fact that George made an appointment with self to elope before one's death , Amelia agree to get married. Becky be abandoned because her personal relationship is found that by the husband afterwards. Her old age gets a sum of inheritance from another lover Joseph in hand. She begins to be enthusiastic in charities.
I have to admit that this story is very real.Person inside the Vanity Fair is able to see clearly . External person of the Vanity Fair is the same to be able to see clearly. Somebody all longs for money , position. Once you have owned one kind among them, the other person all pays special regard to you. The Dobbin uses a lifetime love to have waited till his loved one , he dedicates his youth and time to the pitiful people in Vanity Fair. But the final is good . I think the author can’t bear to let a good person suffers hardships. The kind people has got happiness , has come in and gone out of in the Vanity Fair. Those are avaricious , selfish , foolish , proud, a man of no scruples has got due retribution. This is not only a novel , this is a society in miniature. It is not just in the united kingdom at that time, it is also in today.
Therefore, the purpose is that the college student studies has become a job , working is to have a portion to be able to let person look upon one with special respect live.
Vanity Fair is really a good book.I'm proud of I've read it.

My Review on the Book Vanity Fair
Introduction
Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero is a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1847–48, satirizing society in early 19th-century Britain. The book's title comes from John Bunyan's allegorical story The Pilgrim's Progress, first published in 1678 and still widely read at the time of Thackeray's novel. Vanity Fair refers to a stop along the pilgrim's progress: a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity, which is meant to represent man's sinful attachment to worldly things. The novel is now considered a classic, and has inspired several film adaptations. Social background
Since the Industrial Revolution in the second half of the 18th century, the class structure of English society had undergone radical changes. The Industrial capitalists began to play a more important role and vied for political power with the old aristocracy. Due to the support of the people this struggle of power ended in the victory of bourgeoisie over the aristocracy. With the development of capitalism, there arose a powerful working class, though the conflict between labor and the capital was for some time the background of the struggle between the feudal and bourgeois classes. But from the thirties of the 19th century, the struggle between the workers and capitalists became the feudal mental contradiction in English social life.
The crying social contradictions were reflected in the writers? work of Analysis of Vanity Fair
In the novel, Becky Sharp is a classic example of this money-grubbing instinctive. Everyone wishes to gain something in Vanity Fair and acts almost in the same manner as Becky.
The Characteristics of Vanity Fair

(2) Vanity Fair is work of social criticism, and is noted for the author’s realistic depiction, the ironic and sarcastic tone and constant comment and criticism.

(4) Thackeray uses symbolism in Vanity Fair.

In this novel, I like the name of novel “Vanity Fair” and the subtitle “A Novel without a Hero”. When I see the name, I understand the main idea of the novel. The Victorian egoistic, hypocritical, and money-grabbing aristocratic and commercial society is a vanity fair. It is not only a show of Thackeray?s cynical view toward life but also a declaration of that the epoch in which capitalists or aristocrats posed themselves as heroes.
At the same time, the writer adopts a great number of rhetorical devices to describe the two main figures? words, expression and behavior. That makes the sentences vivid and arouses the readers? interest in reading. The images, plot and language show the hidden paradox of sensuality and redemption. The book gives me a whole view of the nobility?s life which is pretty extravagant.
Given in the modern society, Becky is an ambitious woman. She is not afraid of failure. It?s easy for us to encounter some Beckys in the real world. Becky is a representative of people who are governor-oriented or money talks. However, as a female, I think Becky is very brave. Everyone longs for happiness. Everyone pursues happiness. Thus, what Becky has done are only for her simple aim----happiness. Because she comes from an ignoble family, she has to try her best to do everything. She has only herself to rely on. She believes that a woman of low birth can marry into the purple. Due to her strong-mindedness, she never gives up when difficulties arise, though sometimes she is in the wrong way.
Vanity Fair is a trap that everyone is likely to step into however careful
he may try to be. Thackeray has drawn a lifelike tableau of the Vanity Fair in reality in the novel. That is the reason why the novel has been popular for so many years.
Through his novel Vanity Fair, maybe Thackeray would like to tell us that we are supposed to have the right attitudes towards fame and fortune. We cannot give up all just for money and position. Moreover, we should understand one thing----No one can be happy without a friend. Thus, friends are far more important in our life. We should cherish our friendships at hand, because it would not follow you for life.
Today we are living in a harmonious society; we should keep our purity and humanity. Fame and fortune are important, but they are not everything. Love and humanity are of more importance for a peaceful life. We should trust each other, help each other, and take care of each other.
The author concludes his book by saying: ?Ah! In the vanity fair, things are empty! In this world, who are happy among us? Who also can attain all his wishes? Even so, who will be satisfied with what he has had? Dear friends, please use your action to find out the answer.? Yes, it is time for us to reflect and take action.
Now, I have found out my answer. It is to strive, to seek, to find, but never to yield.
