He examined such subjects as hypocrisy, secret emotions, the sorrows sometimes attendant on love, remembrance of things past, and the vanity of much of life-such moralizing being, in his opinion, an important function of the novelist. Throughout his works, Thackeray analyzed and deplored snobbery and frequently gave his opinions on human behaviour and the shortcomings of society, though usually prompted by his narrative to do so. He wrote to be read aloud in the long Victorian family evenings, and his prose has the lucidity, spontaneity, and pace of good reading material. A great professional, he provided novels, stories, essays, and verses for his audience, and he toured as a nationally known lecturer. His pictures of contemporary life were obviously real and were accepted as such by the middle classes. In his own time Thackeray was regarded as the only possible rival to Dickens.
