BEFORE THE CURTAIN As
the manager of the Performance sits before the curtain on the boards and looks
into the Fair (Metaphor), a
feeling of profound melancholy comes over him in his survey of the bustling place.
There is a great quantity of eating and drinking,
making love and jilting, laughing and the contrary, smoking, cheating, fighting,
dancing and fiddling; there are bullies pushing about, bucks ogling the women,
knaves picking pockets, policemen on the look-out, quacks (OTHER quacks, plague
take them!) bawling in front of their booths, and yokels looking up at the
tinselled dancers and poor old rouged tumblers, while the light-fingered folk
are operating upon their pockets behind (Irony). Yes, this is VANITY

family which lives by his tumbling; but the general impression is one more
melancholy than mirthful. When you come home you sit down in a sober, contemplative, not uncharitable frame of mind (Synecdoche), and apply yourself to your books or your
business. I have no other moral than this to tag
to the present story of "Vanity Fair".(Irony) Some people
consider Fairs immoral altogether, and eschew such, with their servants and
families: very likely they are right. But persons who think otherwise, and are
of a lazy, or a benevolent, or a sarcastic mood, may perhaps like to step in
for half an hour, and look at the performances. There are scenes of all sorts;
some dreadful combats, some grand and lofty horse-riding, some scenes of high
life, and some of very middling indeed; some love-making for
