whilst pondering the mysteries of death and chance through constant rambling and anxious confusion. To understand the notion that ‘“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” locates us in places of social and psychological change’ we must acknowledge the context in which the play was written. When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead appeared in 1966‚ it was evidently linked to The Theatre of the Absurd.

Vanity Fair‚ or also now for it’s subtitle “The Novel without a Hero”‚ is a satire to society‚ characterized by hypocrisy and opportunism. The novel follows the lives of two very different women‚ Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley. Vanity fair refers to a stop along the pilgrim’s progress: a never-ending fair held in a town called Vanity‚ which is meant to represent man’s sinful attachment to worldly things. Definitely‚ a quote that I think explains and drives much of the action and is one of the major
