The story structure of the film adopts a linear narrative, which is concise and clear. The characters of the characters are portrayed delicately and full, and the scene construction is exquisite, which truly reproduces the British style of the 18th century. The costumes and props are exquisitely and gorgeously made, with lively and rich colors. Intense British classical style. The film focuses on the love and marriage life of Beki, her classmates and good friends, and Emilia, who was born in a wealthy family. At the same time, it also vividly shows that the upper class is a hypocritical, snobbish, and ruthless Vanity Fair. Two people, one strong and one weak, Beki is a scheming girl born in the lower class, intelligent, independent, shrewd, and tenacious, who seizes every opportunity to squeeze into the upper class. With her strong personality, under her active pursuit, she harvested the love she wanted. On the contrary, her good friend Emilia, under the shadow of her parents, is pure, kind, and weak, and she has a deep affection for the son of a wealthy businessman who is engaged to her. Even if this man blatantly abandons her, he is paranoid and unwilling to give up. Under the director's lens, Beki is an admirable woman with modern self-awareness, while for Emilia, the director is more sympathetic and loving.
