Abstract：Thackeray is one of the greatest representatives of English critical realistic writers in the nineteenth century. Vanity Fair has been generally regarded as his masterpiece as well as a world classic. The success of Vanity Fair is mainly owing to the classic character Becky. She breaks the social convention that women win their love, marriage and position by their beauty and goodness. She subverts women’s stereotype image, dares to challenge the class society and the patriarchal society, pursues her value optimistically, and eventually fulfills the meaning of her life. She is considered as a pioneer of feminism.
The thesis interprets Vanity Fair from a feminist critical perspective. It consists of four chapters. Chapter one introduces the author, the plot and theme of the novel, and makes a domestic literature review briefly. Chapter two reviews the origin and development of feminism. Chapter three analyzes Becky, a rebellious and brave female who dares to fight against the traditional concept. It mainly discusses from three aspects: how Becky fights against the social rank consciousness, how she challenges the marriage mode, and how she subverts the traditional family pattern. The last chapter is a summary of the whole thesis.

摘要：萨克雷是英国十九世纪批判现实主义最杰出的的代表作家之一。《名利场》被普遍认可为他的代表作，也是一部世界经典著作。《名利场》成功的很大原因应归功于蓓基这一形象的塑造，她突破了以美貌和德行赢得爱情、婚姻和地位的社会规则，颠覆了传统的女性形象，敢于反抗阶级社会和男权社会的压迫，积极主动地追求自己的人生价值，实现自己的人生意义。她是女性主义道路上的先锋。
