Explanation and Analysis:

Vanity Fair was originally published as a serial novel. The reader may be able to tell as much from the frequency and intensity of cliffhangers at the end of certain chapters or sections: these would have kept the original reader guessing and in suspense as they awaited the next published chapter in the next serial.
