Chapter 51 di 68 · 31 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 51, Becky gains acceptance among fashionable people and becomes the chief attraction at Lord Steyne’s theatrical entertainment, while Rawdon feels increasingly distant from her. After she leaves in their carriage, bailiffs arrest Rawdon for debt, and Wenham refuses his request for a loan.
Cosa succede
- Lord Steyne’s support opens fashionable houses to Becky, and Lady Fitz-Willis’s public recognition silences people who condemn her.
- Becky grows bored with fashionable gatherings, entertains at home, and defeats attempts to humiliate her.
- Steyne helps supply her parties, while rumors circulate about the sources of the Crawleys’ money.
- At Gaunt House, Becky terrifies the audience as Clytemnestra and wins enthusiastic applause with her singing.
- Distinguished guests crowd around Becky at the ball and supper, while Rawdon feels painfully inferior and distant.
- After Becky departs, bailiffs seize Rawdon for a debt, and Wenham declines to lend him money.
