COMPLETE: A short story how Rebecca Sharp from the novel VANITY FAIR would probably be in today's society – how she tries to climb up in the ranks of high-society and her searching for wealth.

A poem, sonnet in this case that relates to the novel by exploring Becky's journey throughout the story.

*On Hiatus* There is a saying: "Appearances are everything". Yet, appearances can be deceiving. In an age of social climbing, appearances are everything.

Becky, eager as ever to climb society, finds it difficult after the death of Rawdon in the war. George, bored with his life with Amelia, finds himself fantasing of life with Becky. Dobbin, with this knowledge, imagines his own life with Amelia.

Becky dreams of a life with George and convinces herself that running away together from the boredom of their lives, will somehow save them.
