Vanity fair comes from the word vanity . Bonfire of the vanities - throwing away luxuries into the bonfire. Koheleth - hebrew word for preacher - or rather a leader, or philosopher that teaches a school. You can see that the preacher doesn"t really have a religious perspective. The preacher says that you can"t understand the world. The issues that job raises are reasonable but there"s nothing that can be done about it.
