I found this book under the sofa.

Out of curiosity, I picked it up and started reading.

To my surprise, I ended up reading it in one sitting.

I had no idea what to expect before opening the book.

However, as I delved into the story, it took me on a wild ride.

The play was both scary and strange, which initially made me a bit hesitant.

But there was something about it that kept pulling me back, and I just couldn't stop reading.

Every page turned revealed a new twist and turn, keeping me on the edge of my seat.

By the time I finished the book, I was left with a sense of awe and excitement.

It was truly a remarkable reading experience that I will not forget anytime soon.

August Strindberg is considered the greatest writer and playwright in Sweden. He was educated, befriended and corresponded with Nietzsche, and was fascinated by his philosophy. He was a pioneer in his time, attempting to formulate the principles of the "new drama" - naturalism and truthfulness.

However, the main shortcoming in his world view was his adherence to antifeminist views, which perhaps had some main conflicts with suffragettes or feminists, his contemporaries. Nietzsche was also not very committed to the principles of equality, when it comes to principles.

This play is characterized by a large preface in which the author expounds his very valuable and progressive views on drama and the organization of the production at that time - light, grim, decorations, and most importantly "It must be remembered that there is no absolute evil, for the destruction of one kind is the happiness of another, which gets the chance to rise, and the change of rises and falls is one of the most attractive features of life, since happiness exists only in comparison." But there are also demeaning opinions about women that cannot but outrage, especially since he lived in more enlightened times.

The play was supposed to raise the question of the relationship between the sexes, the relationship between social classes - aristocrats and their servants, the fall of the former and the rise of the latter, ambitions and possibilities, including typical ones, that is, can a slave, trembling at the sound of the bellboy, become a master?

At first glance, the play seems simple. Julie desires love, gives herself to a lackey who is not without pleasure, who masters the French language and has a taste for wine, and realizing her humiliation and not finding a way to escape from her shame, she obeys the order of this same lackey to end herself. But is life so simple? Julie tells about how she was brought up - not quite usually, like a boy, like a woman who could replace a man, as an equal to men. And her family was not a union of equals. Her mother was a servant who rose to the rank of count. Therefore, Julie did not fit into the framework and expectations of society - she was simple, while they expected from her not arrogance, but an awareness of her superiority, she was brought up progressively, that she was in no way inferior to a man. She was brave because she despised conventions and followed her physical attraction to a slippery and insignificant lackey on the one hand, and she was blind, stupid and undemanding, choosing such a pitiful thing on the other. Was there love here? No. Julie felt a physical attraction, but it was not love. Jean wanted not to miss the emerging situation in order to use the maid as a springboard, but there was nothing but a title for the springboard. Christine also did not love Jean very much - she simply had to fulfill her social role - to get married and not remain an old maid. She is not jealous, does not experience feelings, behaves evenly, reasonably, Christianly virtuously and observantly, but at the same time indifferently.

Yes, Julie despised the laws of society and became a lover before and after marriage, a lover of a lower birth. But she was not free from conventions, that by sleeping with Jean, she would not be subject to slander, ridicule and condemnation of people. Do not think that Julie, brought up in the spirit of equality with men and even misandry, will turn out to be an independent personality - on the contrary, she transfers the right to make a decision to Jean, who takes it from the position of his own benefit. If there were money, they would have gone to Switzerland to open his dream hotel with her father's money, and even his fiancée would have been kidnapped, but since there is no money, he orders the despondent maid to kill herself, which she, like a zombified person, goes to execute. She does not know what she wants, does not know how to achieve her goal, she was doomed from the very beginning, since the contradictions were laid from childhood.

Both heroes have prophetic dreams - she dreams of a fall, and not just a fall, but of being thrown underground - that is, of death. He dreams of the impossibility of climbing a tree, at the top of which there is a nest with golden eggs that he could ruin. He passionately wants to grab at least the first branch, but the trunk is so smooth... And here again, in comparison, the author shows the difference in worldviews - remaining a slave in spirit, albeit a vain one, Jean does not think about conscience or responsibility, and the maid Julie does not want to bear shame, to be the subject of discussion on the lips of ordinary people, and she prefers to die.

I recognize the merits of the play and its author, but I do not like his antifeminist position and it seems to me that from the point of view of truthfulness, a girl with a feminist upbringing would have found the strength in herself to live further and continue the search for true love. It seems to me that Strindberg did not fully understand feminism. In general, the play makes you think and argue, and at least in this it is worthy of reading or watching in the theater.

I think it would be interesting to see it performed, but when reading it, it turns out to be a bit confusing. It's like a tangle where you don't quite know if that's the plot or one just isn't understanding what's happening. The deliberation on the comparison between the aristocracy and the working class certainly calls for reflection.

The story seems to have a complex structure that might require a more in-depth analysis to fully grasp. The contrast between the two social classes adds an interesting layer to the narrative. It makes one wonder about the power dynamics, the differences in lifestyles, and the potential conflicts that could arise.

Perhaps a staged performance would bring the story to life and make it easier to understand. The actors' interpretations and the visual elements could enhance the overall experience and clarify any ambiguities. However, even without seeing it performed, the written text still manages to engage the reader and spark thoughts about social inequality and the human condition.
