- W2890573339 abstract "In Vanity Fair, Becky Sharp is described as a Siren: half sweet and compliant angel and, hidden below the waterline, half monster. Becky’s performance as a proper lady is effective because it relies on the universal human desire to be loved and, if love is not forthcoming, flattered. Like Adam Smith, Becky Sharp understands the power of vanity, the corrupted cousin of sympathy. To explain how sympathy works, Adam Smith refers to the heroes in tragedy and romance. We enter into their situation and experience feelings analogous to theirs. In real life as in the theater, we enjoy the harmony of sentiments that exists between actor and spectator. We like to be able to bring someone else’s case home to ourselves just as we expect others to experience fellow-feeling with us in both our sorrow and our joy. This desire for sympathy can lead us to play a part in hopes that our spectators may like us better or admire us more. For the vain, outward praise and recognition are more important than an inner sense of praiseworthiness. Becky Sharp knows, as does Smith, that most people are vain and therefore easily manipulated through flattery. But unlike Smith, Becky seeks to exploit the vanity of others for her own gain. Men in particular make for willing victims as they are less used to playing a part the way women are and fail to see through the “arts” Becky and other women employ to use men to better their own condition." @default.
