Summary

In Miss Julie， a willful young aristocrat， whose perverse nature has already driven her fiancé to break off their engagement， pursues and effectively seduces her father's valet during the course of a Midsummer's Eve celebration。 The progress of that seduction and the play's stunning denouement shocked Swedish audiences who first attended the play in 1889。
Despite its controversial debut， this now-classic drama， inspired by the new ideas of naturalism and psychology that swept Europe in the late 19th century， helped to shape modern theater， and remains one of the most potent-and most frequently performed-of modern plays。 The full text of Miss Julie is reprinted here as translated by Edwin Björkman， complete with Strindberg's critical preface to the play， considered by many to be one of the most important manifestos in theater history。

Allting är underligt för öfrigt！ Lifvet， menskorna， allt， är en sörja som drifs， drifs fram på vattnet， tills den sjun- ker， sjunker！ Jag har en dröm som återkommer då och då; och som jag erinrar mig nu。 Jag sitter upp- klättrad på en pelare och ser ingen möjlighet att komma ner; jag svindlar när jag ser ner， och ner måste jag， men jag har inte mod att kasta mig ner; jag kan inte hålla mig fast och jag längtar att få falla; men jag faller inte。 Och ändå får jag ingen ro förr än jag kommer ner， i Allting är underligt för öfrigt！ Lifvet， menskorna， allt， är en sörja som drifs， drifs fram på vattnet， tills den sjun- ker， sjunker！ Jag har en dröm som återkommer då och då; och som jag erinrar mig nu。 Jag sitter upp- klättrad på en pelare och ser ingen möjlighet att komma ner; jag svindlar när jag ser ner， och ner måste jag， men jag har inte mod att kasta mig ner; jag kan inte hålla mig fast och jag längtar att få falla; men jag faller inte。 Och ändå får jag ingen ro förr än jag kommer ner， ingen hvila förrän jag kom- mer ner， ner på marken！ Och komme jag ner på marken ville jag ner i jorden。。。 Har ni känt något sådant？ 。。。more

Si le pongo 3 estrellas es que no entiendo el contexto， las diferencias sociales y pues complica demasiado la lectura。

Astrid-Smilla ，

Bra。 Not a fan of the misogyni men det är Strindberg sååå。 Kul att han använder samma argument som nutida sexister och inskränkta att det är uppluckringen av man/kvinna konceptet som gör att allt hamnar i kaos: ”Och på gården sattes männen till kvinnosysslor， och kvinnor till manssysslor - med den påföljd， att egendomen höll på att gå under， och vi blevo till löje på trakten。 ” who hurt you bitch？ Ah juste Siri。 Och hon hade all rätt att göra det。

mokshali ，

honestly this was more of a 3。5/5as a work on its own， miss julie is a little lacklustre; not enough happens to justify the violently impulsive decisions made by the charactersas a play to be adapted into something new， it’s wonderfully fun， giving us two characters whose intentions are so parasitical and words are so performative that you can’t help but have fun。 stressful and once again the man is awful， but delightfully nuanced when you mess with the context

I REALLY enjoyed this。 It’s short， but it gets its message across in a very engaging way。 Loved the dialogue， I was really intrigued the whole time。 My only gripe is that the playwright is horribly sexist， but given the time period yadda yadda…

2/6 points， play-script， Hauptpersonen all zu unsympathisch und unlogisch， es ist mir völlig egal was mit ihnen passiert…

1ST READ: Complicated themes and issues come up in this play。 Author was clearly a misogynist and a man of the late 19th century。 Gonna have to read more than once to fully understand these characters and the context better。

This play highlights the theme of class and gender。 Miss Julie and Jean have a strange relationship and the biggest obstacle in it is their difference in class and gender。 Very repetitive and lacks depth。 Was an interesting read， but didn't strike me as an astonishing classic， but rather a classic play that you should know just because。 Almost came off comedic even though it is a modern drama。 Some good scenes for actors between Jean and Miss Julie。 This play highlights the theme of class and gender。 Miss Julie and Jean have a strange relationship and the biggest obstacle in it is their difference in class and gender。 Very repetitive and lacks depth。 Was an interesting read， but didn't strike me as an astonishing classic， but rather a classic play that you should know just because。 Almost came off comedic even though it is a modern drama。 Some good scenes for actors between Jean and Miss Julie。 。。。more
