Talk:Miss Julie

Untitled

Is it really clear that she intends to commit suicide at the end? She has already said that she can't do it. Feketekave (talk) 18:41, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

To attempt an answer to this question from 2012 — Miss Julie at first says she can't, but that she wants someone to order her to do what she should do. Jean apparently does that. The suicide is also indicated in the play's ending with talk of cutting one's throat, Julie's gesture of cutting her own throat, plus the talk of what happens after one dies, and so on, and also when she exits "resolutely" holding a razor. Plus in the preface the author refers to Julie's "tragic fate", and the play as a "tragedy". So, I think it is made clear to the audience. - Åüñîçńøł (talk) 19:14, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Predicament?

>Over the course of the play Miss Julie and Jean battle until Jean convinces her that the only way to escape her predicament is to commit suicide.

What is her predicament? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 00:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Her predicament is that she has had a sexual congress with the valet and she considers that to be so dishonorable that she cannot go on living there, she must run away, doesn't know where to go, must deal with feelings of guilt and the desire for self-punishment, etc. The author discusses this in his preface. By the way, according to WP:Overlink common words that are understood by most readers, such as love and suicide and consummated, should not be linked.

Fabianism

I wont edit this article as I dont have refs handy. The social Darwinism prevalent at the time was started by the Fabian Society in London. HG Well was the most influential member, and the War of the Worlds is a thinly veiled account of Fabianism. Basically the Martian invaders (the upper classes) wind being destroyed by earth's microbes.203.220.105.20 (talk) 03:16, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Author's Preface and Themes

I plan on making some additions to the Author's Preface and Themes sections. The preface contains a lot more information than is listed here, which I think is useful and relevant to understanding the play. There are also themes of class and gender in addition to Darwinism that would be good to explore. EmmaKDarnell (talk) 02:07, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

French performance
