| Summary | "La foire aux vanités, Tome II" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This work continues the examination of societal ambitions and relationships in Victorian England, focusing on characters like Rawdon Crawley and Miss Crawley as they navigate family dynamics, social aspirations, and the juxtaposition of military glory against personal ambitions. At the start of the second volume, the narrative shifts back to the domestic sphere of the Crawley family, juxtaposing the distant battlefield with their lives in Brighton. Miss Crawley enjoys the accolades of her nephew Rawdon, who has gained prominence after the battle of Waterloo, while her companions express both admiration and disdain for his choices, particularly his marriage to the opera singer, Rebecca. The opening scenes reveal the tension within the Crawley family as they vie for Miss Crawley’s affection and financial favor, with her health and willpower in decline, setting the stage for deeper explorations of their ambitions, relationships, and the societal norms of their time.
