1、 论文（设计）研究目标及主要任务
本论文主要从女性主义的角度入手，去解读萨克雷的代表作《名利场》，其中主要以小说的女主人公蓓基·夏泼作为切入点，通过分析她对独立、平等、自由的追求，探究女性主义思想给女性带来的积极改变，从而鼓励现代女性自强、自立、自尊。
2、论文（设计）的主要内容
本论文内容主要包括：著名小说《名利场》的基本情节介绍，对女性主义理论的简单概括，历来对此问题的相关研究说明，《名利场》女主人公蓓基·夏泼对独立、平等、自由这些女性主义核心思想的追求的具体表现，以及这种积极向上的女性主义思想给广大女性带来的重要启示。
3、论文（设计）的基础条件及研究路线
通过对英国文学史的学习，我了解到了萨克雷这位著名作家以及他的成名作《名利场》，后来又观看了由这部小说改编的同名电影。我对这部“没有英雄的小说”以及里面特立独行的女主人公蓓基·夏泼产生了浓厚的兴趣。后来我查阅了相关文献，发现大家对这部经典小说的赏析多从女性主义及男权社会角度入手，因此本人决定以此作为自己的论文研究方向，借助女性主义核心思想的关键词独立、平等、自由来分析蓓基·夏泼的积极一面，并启示当代女性应该如何追寻自己的幸福美好生活。

Literature Review

Introduction
Vanity Fair is the best known novel of British critical realism writer in 19th century. When Vanity Fair was serialized on the newspaper, its subtitle is “there is no hero in the novel”. Because it does not serve as leading role with an outstanding hero, even the positive figures are rarely. The heroine Rebecca Sharp is intelligent and wise; on the other hand, she is wild oats. This kind of personality made people love and hate. As a result, she becomes the most glorious role in Vanity Fair. The novel is under the much attention of many literary scholars because of the rebellious character.

Body
For the appreciation and evaluation of the novel, mostly focused on the character image, which is especially typical for female image as Rebecca Sharp. Scholars mostly regard feminist thought as the breakthrough point on the analysis of character Rebecca. Feminism is a social theory and political movement, its source and motivation is mainly from female experience. It is the women's liberation advocated by the main problem, it is the pursuit of female equality, independence and freedom. Scholars carry on the exploration and interpretation of Vanity Fair and show their various and ideas. Through history as we know, in the 19th century British women mainly stand on the society by relying on family role rather than professional roles, so their social function has been limited. In such a social environment, women attempt to pursue equality and freedom is something very hard. However, in Bai Dan’s The Study of Feminist Color in Vanity Fair, she points out that Rebecca is a complex of femininity and masculinity, and it all comes from the writer William Thackeray’s contradictory view of women. In "From Vanity Fair to See Thackeray's view of women", Chen Wei also analyses the novel’s main female images from the aspect of Thackeray’s traditional women view. Feminism has always advocated gender equality. Androgyny is beyond the gender, also only in this way can we truly achieve the ideal of equality of men and women. The theory of “androgyny” is one of the most important theories of feminism. And feminist pursuit of the ideal personality of “Bisexual temperament", is the dream of comprehensive and free development of personality between males and females, this is also a powerful weapon to against the polarization of Yin and Yang and the gender essence permanent. The actress Rebecca of Thackeray’s novel "Vanity fair" flashed out the aesthetic charm and human energy androgyny. On the other hand, she also shows the ideal and the dilemma of modern of androgyny to a certain extent.
Many readers analyzed the typical character of Rebecca Sharp and Amelia Sedly who were created in a typical environment. They analyzed the society, family environment and historical factors behind the forming of their outlook on life and values. Of course, this research has very important significance of sociology, aesthetics; but most critics praised the character Amelia, and demeaned the character Rebecca after contrast. However, in the paper of “The Positive Side of Rebecca Sharp in Vanity Fair” of Wang guiyun, the writer holds an opposite view for this. From feminist thought, she believes Rebecca whether at that time or today can be called richness and multiple side woman, she is positive on the other side. Another example of this is Tan Zongyan’s “The Positive Interpretation of the Complex Characters Rebecca in Vanity Fair”. This paper analyzes the controversial female characters Rebecca. It is pointed out that the heroine in the novel Rebecca is rendered with a strong artistic exaggeration and vividly. In the appearance, she has a beautiful look. She is charming and filled with interest. In her inner heart, she has superhuman wisdom, strong and independent personality and vitality, at the same time, is loyal to friendship or even love. Therefore, from the perspective of positive interpretation and feminism, Rebecca will give us much enlightenment. There are many other articles about this kind of opinion, such as “To Cater to the Fight---Rebecca and Scarlett in the Feminism Perspective” which was written by He Qiang, and Guo Yantao’s “The Parsing of Female Consciousness in Vanity Fair of Thackeray”. Most of these articles pointed out that the flow of women in the patriarchal society in order to survive, but the resistance is at the same time accompanied by the situation of catering to, helpless and compromise.
Certainly, there have prize and critics of the character Rebecca who pursue the self bravely. For example, in Zeng Yanbo’s “The Interpretation of Main Character of Vanity Fair”, the writer thinks that Thackeray asking women abide by duty, to building a happy family with love and sacrifice. Vanity Fair shows Thackeray’s patriarchal thought; he holds a denial attitude to Rebecca. He criticizes the character Rebecca who pursues feminism. On the other hand, he made Lucy a derogatory view of her struggling over one's destiny. Many critics believe that she is a Female cheater and aspirant who has nothing, relies on their looks and trickery. Her name and hypocrisy, worthless, dissolute together, but it seems to say so is too heavy.

Conclusion
The capable Rebecca gets in touch with countless men. However, in fact she is just want to enter the upper society, so as to live a rich life. Although she eventually denied by society forever, but positive personality makes her not discouraged when she facing with such setbacks. Living in the wandering life, Rebecca never looks back, never regret. The positive idea of feminism on her and her pursuit of female freedom, equality, and independence made her becomes a unique role in the literature. Although critics’ opinions are mixed on this image, but I still think the female image who flashing the light of feminism added other colors to Vanity Fair. The character Rebecca is a great encouragement and guidance for that period, even our modern women’s social life.

Introduction

William Makepeace Thackeray is one of the outstanding representatives of English critical realism. He was born of English parents in Calcutta, India, on July 18, 1811. His father held an important post under the East India Company. When the boy was five years old his father died, and the mother returned with her child to England. He inherited a large fortune. However, he lost his fortune by gambling and bad investments soon, and had to earn his own living. Disappointed by his failure as an illustrator, he made a bid for literature. In this, he was more fortunate. After the publication of Vanity Fair in 1848 he began to be recognized as one of the great novelists of his day. Thackeray was a prolific writer. Of his works the better known are: The Book of Snobs, Vanity Fair, Pendennis, The Newcomes and The history of Henry Esmond. Vanity Fair is his masterpiece.

Vanity Fair, as a classical novel,
