In 1802 UK, Becky Sharp, the orphaned daughter of a poor painter, has finished her studies and offered to be a governess to Sir Pitt Crawley’s daughters. Before starting, she travels to\u00a0London<\/a>\u00a0with her close friend Amelia Sedley and her family. While there she begins a campaign to charm Amelia’s awkward and overweight brother \u00ab\u00a0Jos\u00a0\u00bb Sedley, a wealthy trader living in\u00a0India<\/a>. Smitten with Becky, he almost proposes, but is dissuaded by Amelia’s snobbish fianc\u00e9 George Osborne, reminding him that Becky has no dowry.<\/p>\n

Not finding a rich husband, Becky takes up her post. Horrified by the house and her employer Sir Pitt, she diligently teaches his daughters and prepares the house for his half-sister Miss Crawley. His youngest son, Rawdon Crawley, an army captain, comes with them and immediately fancies Becky. She manages to secure a post with ill-tempered Miss Crawley.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Amelia’s prospective father-in-law, Mr. Osborne, is trying to arrange a more advantageous marriage for his son George. When George refuses to consider her, Mr. Osborne bankrupts Mr. Sedley, forcing George to break his engagement to Amelia. She now lives in squalor with her family but is hopeful he will come for her, believing the gift of a piano from George’s friend Dobbin is from George himself.<\/p>\n

Rawdon Crawley and Becky marry secretly, but Miss Crawley soon finds out expelling her from her house and disinheriting Rawdon. George Osborne marries Amelia, rebelling against his father, and is soon after deployed with Dobbin and Rawdon to\u00a0Belgium<\/a>, as\u00a0Napoleon<\/a>\u00a0escaped\u00a0Elba<\/a>\u00a0and returned to France. Becky and Amelia accompany their husbands. The newly-wedded Osborne tires of Amelia, and hits on Becky. The ball they are attending is interrupted by an announcement that Napoleon has attacked, and they must march in three hours. Before leaving, Rawdon gives Becky all he’s won at cards.<\/p>\n

The next day, as she tries to flee the city, she sees Amelia in the mob and leaves her carriage to be with her in\u00a0Brussels<\/a>, waiting out the battle.<\/p>\n

In the ensuing\u00a0Battle of Waterloo<\/a>, George is killed and Rawdon survives. Amelia bears his son, also named George. Mr. Osborne refuses to acknowledge his grandson, so Amelia returns to live in poverty with her parents. Now-Major William Dobbin, young George’s godfather, continues to show his love for the widowed Amelia by small kindnesses. She is too in love with George’s memory to return Dobbin’s affections. Saddened, he transfers to an army post in India. Meanwhile, Becky’s son is also named after his father.<\/p>\n

Several years pass. Rawdon has been passed over for inheritance by both his aunt and father, and they are sinking deep into debt. Amelia struggles to raise her son and reluctantly gives him up to be raised by his grandfather Mr. Osborne, for a fine education and lifestyle. Bailiffs arrive to repossess the Crawleys’ furniture, but Becky is saved by their neighbor Lord Steyne, who she remembers from the past as a keen buyer of her father’s paintings. He becomes her patron, giving her money and introducing her to London high society.<\/p>\n

On the night of her triumphant presentation to\u00a0King George IV<\/a>, Becky receives word that Rawdon has been arrested and thrown into debtors’ prison. Lord Steyne insists she spends the night with him in return for the services he has rendered her, and Rawdon, after being bailed out by his sister-in-law, walks in on Steyne forcing himself upon Becky. He throws him out but realizes Becky has been taking money for months in secret without sharing it with him. He leaves her, entrusting the care of their son to his older brother, the new Sir Pitt, and his wife.<\/p>\n

Twelve years later, Becky is a card dealer at a casino in\u00a0Baden-Baden<\/a>, Germany. Rawdon died from\u00a0malaria<\/a>\u00a0soon after leaving her, while posted to a tropical island by Lord Steyne. She comes across Amelia’s grown son George Jr., who invites her to tea with his mother. Mr. Osborne finally accepted Amelia, leaving her and George Jr. with a large inheritance. Becky confronts Amelia over her obsession with the late George, showing her a love note from him many years earlier. She urges Amelia to love Dobbin, who has been loyal for many years. Although at first angered, Amelia realizes her mistake and declares her love to Dobbin.<\/p>\n

Alone again in the casino, Becky meets Jos Sedley, who has come to Germany after Amelia tells him Becky was there. He invites her to live in India with him, and she delightedly accepts. They depart to make a new life for themselves.<\/p>\n
