During the Victorian Age, William Makepeace Thackeray describes
bluntly the social problems happening at his time in his novel Vanity Fair. He
clearly describes the people?s condition at that time, especially about how they
regard each other. From all of the relationships among the characters, one issue
that interests me most is the characters? connection to the Seven Deadly Sins
according to the Christian doctrine. Reading the novel, I am interested in finding
out the factors that make the major characters in the novel commit the Seven
Deadly Sins. Out of the many characters in the novel I only take four, Rebecca
Sharp, Amelia Sedley, George Osborne, and Rawdon Crawley. To analyze the
novel, I use literary approach. To help me find out the factors that make them
commit the sins, I apply the literary tool of characterization. Moreover, to
understand the sins each character commits, I consult the concept of Seven
Deadly Sins. In addition to that, I also include the historical background of the
society at that time in order to understand why the characters commit the sins.
With these aids, I am able to do the analysis and find out that the factors, which
make them commit the Seven Deadly Sins are the environment, family and
education.
