Rebecca "Becky" Sharp, later describing herself as Rebecca, Lady Crawley, is the main protagonist of William Makepeace Thackeray's 1847–48 novel Vanity Fair. She is presented as a cynical social climber who uses her charms to fascinate and seduce upper-class men. This is in contrast with the clinging, dependent Amelia Sedley, her friend from school. Becky then uses Amelia as a stepping stone to gain social position. Sharp functions as a picara—a picaresque heroine—by being a social outsider who is able to expose the manners of the upper gentry to ridicule.

  • Rebecca Sharp, dite Becky, est l'anti-héroïne du roman satirique de William Makepeace Thackeray Vanity Fair (La Foire aux vanités) (1847-1848). Becky Sharp est une arriviste cynique qui utilise ses charmes pour fasciner puis séduire les hommes de la classe supérieure. Elle contraste totalement avec l'attachante Amelia Sedley dont elle fait connaissance dans une prestigieuse école pour filles où Amelia occupe une place grâce au fait que son père y enseigne. Les deux femmes se lient d'amitié et Becky se sert de son amie comme un tremplin pour atteindre une bonne position sociale. Becky fonctionne comme une picara — une héroïne picaresque — ou en étant une outsider sociale en mesure de tourner en ridicule les manières de la noblesse supérieure. (fr)
