- The thesis synthesizes some of the concepts and researches on satirical art, as the theoretical for research on William Thackeray's novels, to see philosophical stance and sense of humour inherited and developed from the satirical tradition of British literature in the 18th century.

- Research from different angles: combining the satirical from many kinds of fiction, character, story teller and digression, thesis indicate that Thackeray's satirical art is not only simple as outside form,but also became the the dominant artistic thinking of the writer, strongly influencing the way the novel was organized, and creating the unique color of the satirical art as well as the particularistic color of the novel.

There would not have a definite ending or fullness for him.

- His realistic novels have different colors, not merely depicting the outward, but also still there is a chaos of an individual thingking, a experienced narrator. That is the view of a realistic novelist and a sense of an artist who crave for beauty, innovation and creativity in the arts.

Readers can realize his own charming storytelling and unique attractions
