Thackeray's works are characterized by sharp satire and a keen observation of English society, particularly evident in his notable novel, Vanity Fair. He often portrayed roguish characters like Becky Sharp, reflecting his fondness for antiheroes. His early career involved writing under various pseudonyms, where he critiqued social norms, marriage, and military valor. His initial success came from The Yellowplush Papers, leading to a series of influential novels that explored themes of hypocrisy and societal flaws, establishing him as a prominent figure in 19th-century literature.
