Miss Julie

I haven't read this play since I was a child. I was more impressed this time around. Maybe because I understand the social structures of society better. It's about a wealthy woman who has a brief relationship with a servant in her household. He is bethrothed to the cook of the household. Although the two discuss plans to be with each other it becomes clear that it could never really happen. The play explores themes of the social structures of society and feminism. Miss Julie comes across as desperate and a coward at times. The characters aren't one note. It's a short play that packs a lot of punch. I remember liking the 1950's movie of this as a kid as well and I need to revisit it.
