《名利场》的简介
利场》的简介：《名利场》是英国十九世说家萨克雷的成名作品，也是他生平著作经得起时间考验的杰作。
故事取材于很热闹的英国十九世纪中上层社会。
当时国家强盛，工商业发达，由榨压殖民地或剥削劳工而发财的富商大贾正主宰着这个社会，英法两国争权的战争也在这时响起了炮声。
中上层社会各式各等人物，都忙着争权夺位，争名求利，所谓“天下攘攘，皆为利往，天下熙熙，皆为利来”，名利、权势、利禄，原是相连相通的。
故事主角是一个机灵乖巧的漂亮姑娘。
她尝过贫穷的滋味，一心要掌握自己的命运，摆脱困境。
她不择手段，凭谄媚奉承、走小道儿钻后门，飞上高枝。
作为陪衬的人物是她同窗女友、一个富商的女儿。
她懦弱温柔，驯顺地随命运播弄。
从贫贱进入富裕的道路很不平稳
富家女的运途亦多坎坷，两人此起彼落的遭遇，构成一个引人关怀又动人情感的故事。
穿插的人物形形色色，都神情毕肖。
萨克雷富讥智，善讽刺，《名利场》是逗趣而又启人深思的小说。
萨克雷是东印度公司收税员的儿子，受过高等教育，自己却没什么财产。
他学法律、学画都不成功，一连串失败的经历，只使他熟悉了中上层社会的各个阶层。
《名利场》的背景和人物，都是他所熟悉的。
萨克雷写小说力求客观，不以他本人的喜爱或愿望而对人物、对事实有所遮饰和歪曲。
人情的好恶，他面面俱到，不遮掩善良人物的缺点，也不遗漏狡猾、鄙俗人的一节可取。
全部故事里没有一个英雄人物，所以《名利场》的副题是《没有英雄的故事》，就是现代所谓“非英雄”的小说。
这一点，也是《名利场》的创新
《名利场》赏析
长篇小说《名利场》是萨克雷的成名作和代表作。
它以辛辣讽刺的手法，真实描绘了1810～1820年摄政王时期英国上流社会没落贵族和资产阶级暴发户等各色人物的丑恶嘴脸和弱肉强食、尔虞我诈的人际关系。
这部小说篇幅宏大，场面壮观，情节复杂，心理刻画深入，其尖锐泼辣的讽刺风格更为精彩。
《名利场》是萨克雷的成名作品，也是他生平著作里最经得起时间考验的杰作，在英国现实主义小说的发展史上开辟了新的天地。
不得不承认，这个故事很现实。
名利场里的人看不清，名利场外的人同样看不清。
所有的人都渴望金钱，地位。
一旦你拥有了其中的一样，其他人都会对你另眼相看。
都宾用一生的爱等到了他心爱的人，他的青春，他的年华献给了那个名利场中的可怜人。
艾米利亚的单纯和爱戴给她半生的苦痛。
然而结局是好的。
作者不忍心让好人受苦吧，善良的人得到了幸福，在名利场中出入。
那些贪婪的，自私的，愚蠢的，骄傲的，不择手段的人得到了应有的报应。
把结局看了几遍。
有点高兴，有点伤心。
这不只只是一部小说，这是一个社会的缩影。
不光那时的英国，就是今天。
谁又不是为名利二字所累呢
其余的一切都是建立在这个基础上的。
当物质生活问题没有解决时，又有谁去追求一种纯洁的莫须有的理想呢
所以，大学生学习的目的成了工作，工作的目的是有一份可以让人另眼看待的生活。
当然，这没有错，我们都是命运手中的一颗棋子。
算计着自己的身价，算计着该怎么样去抬高自己的身价。
无奈啊，人们只会去崇拜，谈论那些光鲜的人物，你不去做，会有人去做的。
萨克雷认为：“小说的艺术是表现本质，即尽可能强烈地表达真实的情感。
”他的这种理论主张在他的成名作《名利场》中得到了极好的体现。
故事发生在19世纪初。
在写出《名利场》以前的十余年对于萨克雷来说基本上是一个准备阶段，在这个期间萨克雷对社会上各式各样“上等人”的观察越来越深入细致，艺术手法也日益成熟。
《名利场》便是在这个基础上完成的现实主义的杰作。
《名利场》里创造了比较丰满的人物形象，描写了社会生活的广阔画面，并通过人物命运的交织而对生活作了总的评价。
《名利场》通过情节的安排企图说明“一切都是浮名浮利”，标题本身出自《天路历程》。
他揭开了资本主义社会五光十色的繁荣外表，让人们看到它的本质。
萨克雷自己说过，他在《名利场》里要写“一群极端愚蠢自私的人，不顾一切地为非作歹而又热烈追求浮名浮利”，同时，他又说，书中所描写的“全是死亡、争吵、金钱和病痛”。
《名利场》并没有严密的故事结构，故事的内容基本上是由两个女主人公利蓓加与爱米丽亚的生活道路串联起来的。
爱米丽亚是一位资产阶级小姐，而利蓓加则是个一无所有、在资本主义社会里浑水摸鱼的女人，通过这两个主人公的命运，萨克雷描绘出了当时上流社会中形形色色的众生相。
