From the Paper:

"Vanity Fair: Money, Power, Class and the Struggles of Women in England Social class in England during the time of Vanity Fair demonstrates that there is a significant separation between those that have been blessed with wealth, and those that exist in poverty. The class separations are evident in the manner in which the wealthy overtly degrade the poor, and in the manner in which the poor discuss their own inequality with the wealthy. From the start of the film, as the character of Becky is placed as a servant after the death of her parents, the women who control her future discuss the fact that they are free to treat her in any way they like because she has no one of importance to care for her."
