The British Empire flowers; exotic India colors English imaginations. Becky Sharp, the orphaned daughter of a painter and a singer, leaves a home for girls to be a governess, armed with pluck, a keen wit, good looks, fluent French, and an eye for social advancement. Society tries its best to keep her from climbing. An episodic narrative follows her for 20 years, through marriage, Napoleonic wars, a child, loyalty to a school friend, the vicissitudes of the family whose daughters she instructed, and attention from a bored marquess who collected her father's paintings. Honesty tempers her schemes. No aristocrat she, nor bourgeois, just spirited, intelligent, and irrepressible. 名利游戏。即使没有5000英镑。应该直接鄙视掉。女冒险家的曲线:柔顺 or 强硬。超级失败完全失望。名利是重要的--电影《名利场》2004版。现在我们是主人公。斯佳丽与夏泼。她的内心是干净的。片头曲She Walks in Beauty。
