摘要《名利场》是19世纪著名批判现实主义家威廉·梅克皮斯·萨克雷的代表作。本文通过对《名利场》中爱米丽亚和蓓基的性格，对婚姻的态度以及所处的社会地位环境进行对比，深入分析两位女主人公截然不同的命运，从而讽刺并揭露了资产阶级追名逐利、尔虞我诈的虚伪面目以及整个社会迷恋金钱的现象。本文旨在通过分析《名利场》两位女主人公的命运，帮助读者从不同立场理解《名利场》并且对萨克雷有更深层次的了解。因为无论蓓基还是爱米丽亚，萨克雷虽然用着讽刺的表面去刻画人物，但内心对其都抱着一种同情怜悯的心理。

1。1。 William Makepeace Thackeray
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was born at Calcutta。His father worked in the East India Company and passed away when he was only five years old。 Thackeray inherited a fairly large inheritance, he returned to England when he was six。 He studied at Cambridge University, but left it without taking a degree。 He wished to study art and so went to Germany where he met Goethe。 He studied law for a while but failed。 Later he went to study drawing in Paris and published caricature of ballet dancers。 An Indian bank failed where he had deposited his money, he had to make his living as a journalist。Early separation from home left a sense of rootlessness; his mother’s remarriage made him feel the absence of affection, the snobbishness of many rich friends hurt his feelings。 His wife became insane and he was forced to separate from her。 The events of his life all combined to equip him with the disillusioned outlook of a social satirist。 He particularly hated selfishness and hypocrisy。 对比《名利场》中蓓基和爱米丽亚的命运:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_201758.html
