Detailed explanation-1: -Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero, Walter Scott, 1890 .
Detailed explanation-2: -Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero is a novel by English author William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in 1847–48, satirising society in early 19th-century Britain.
Detailed explanation-3: -To be heroic is to dominate circumstance, but in the Vanity Fair of Thackeray’s imagination everyone is the slave of circumstance. In Vanity Fair none is heroic, all are equally self-deceived, equally the victim of some folly and frivolity, and equally disillusioned in the end.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vanity Fair is the story of one young woman’s rise to the top of England’s shallow upper-class society and her swift fall. Vanity Fair also focuses on the people who populate that world, including Becky’s friend, Amelia Sedley, who in many ways lives out a parallel life to Becky’s.
Detailed explanation-5: -The ‘Hero’ of Vanity Fair is the steadfast and stalwart William Dobbin; of that there is no doubt.
