		"Miss Julie," by August Strindberg, is a play with three speaking parts: Miss Julie, a nobleman's daughter; Jean, a young valet; and Christine, a cook in the household.
		Miss Julie was written in 1888 and was first put on stage in 1889 with Siri acting out the role of Julie.
		Julie, on the other hand, wavers between the strong and self-confident seductress of the beginning, to the weak and manipulated wronged woman at the end.

	Movie Review: 'Miss Julie'
		Julie bursts into the kitchen of her family estate, hot and amorous, and makes shameless advances to Jean (Peter Mullan), a dangerously handsome footman.
		Julie and Jean are like Blanche and Stanley in "A Streetcar Named Desire." Miss Julie and her class are going down in the 19th century as Blanche and Southern society will go down in the 20th.
		"Miss Julie" was written in 1888 during the breakdown of European "rules," when order was lost to the desperate needs of the moment and hopelessness of life under the new values of industrialism, Darwin, Marx and Freud.

		Having Jean compare what Miss Julies did to her ex-fiance with what some one would do to a dog shows Miss Julies drive to be the dominant one or the master.
		Miss Julie feels that her social status is so much superior to that of Jean that their relationship could be compared to that of a master and his dog.
		Kristen demonstrates Miss Julie's disgust when she says; "She almost had poor Diana shot for running after the lodge-keepers pug." The sexual affair between the dogs also represents the sexual affair between Jean and Miss Julie and how the two of them look down on each other.

	Miss Julie
		MISS JULIE may have been born of the author’s misogyny, but the resulting drama draws its central male and female characters in equally ugly and hysterical roles.
		The final result is that Miss Julie, debased and degraded, is made to pay financially, physically and emotionally for her fall from pious purity into the realm of her mere, mortal servants.
		Marin Hinkle finds the right mix of lust, hysteria, indignation and hopelessness in her Miss Julie, and Julia Gibson does the most with the role of the cook, Kristine, who is engaged to the wayward Jean.

		Poor virginal Julie, excited by some combination of hysteria, her period, and accidentally witnessing two of the servants locked together in the barn, is feeling like a bitch in heat and Jean (Ulf Palme), her father’s valet, is the most promising stud around.
		Julie had struck the dog with her whip and then demonstrated for her fiancé her command of her animal by ordering it to jump over her whip, extended like the crossbar of a high jump.
		Early in the play, Miss Julie is described as having become “wild”, reminiscent of the famous instance of a Republican cabinet officer dismissing his wife’s erratic behavior as “rampaging hormones.” Julie is disgusted with her dog, Diana, because she sees herself all too clearly in the dog’s deficiencies.

	Miss Julie: Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		One of the reasons August Strindberg's play "Miss Julie" is studied at the collegiate level is that, depending on what you bring into your experience of the play, everyone who sees/reads it comes away with a different reaction.
		That's no diss on the workmanship of the film; "Miss Julie," in general, is a very difficult play to sit through and its last act, which I won't spill, is particularly unpleasant.
		Julie is depressed after a broken engagement, probably to the son of one of the elite whom The Count is partying with.

	Miss Julie - a play by August Strindberg
		Miss Julie, a one-act tragedy, is no doubt a brutally frank portrayal of the most intimate thoughts of man and of the age-long antagonism between classes.
		Miss Julie inherited the primitive, intense passion of her mother and the neurotic aristocratic tendencies of her father.
		Jean, though the male is aroused in him, pleads with Julie not to play with fire, begs her to return to her room, and not to give the servants a chance for gossip.

		Julie, an aristocratic young woman, has a brief affair with Jean, her father's valet, but after the sexual thrill has dissipated, they realize that they have little or nothing in common.
		Her Miss Julie manages the odd lubricious look, and even implies she wouldn't mind a repeat roll in the hay, but there is little hunger or sensuality in his Jean.
		Yet apart from the moment when Miss Julie extends an elegant foot and commands the valet to kiss it, there is little sense of burning desire between the two characters.

		Miss Julie asks Jean for a beer, saying she is not averse to sampling the drink of the common folk, and they both have one together.
		While Miss Julie trifles with Jean, she suggests that he may be a “Don Juan” or a “Joseph.” Don Juan was a fictional womanizer in Spanish folk tales who seduced a young woman of Seville and killed her father in a duel.
		Miss Julie, for example, responds partly to her inborn female instinct for male companionship and partly to her environmentally induced hatred of men.

	Untitled Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In the late 1800s, Swedish playwright August Strindberg brought to the stage the story of Miss Julie, a headstrong, young aristocrat whose brief encounter with her family’s footman on the night of a mid-summer festival brings regret and, ultimately, tragedy.
		Miss Julie, portrayed by first-year student Lauren Costanza of Laflin, has an encounter with Jean, the footman, whose social striving and threats of reprisal spell guilt and the fear of exposure for the passionate young woman.
		Miss Julie is not unlike A Streetcar Named Desire’s Blanche DuBois; for Tennesse Williams’ portrayal of human instincts and social tension owe much to his predecessor Strindberg.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Miss Julie" review (1999)
		"Miss Julie" announces its madly pretentious art film intentions with the very first, ear-piercing screech of its cello-raping soundtrack -- scored by director Mike Figgis -- and its gratuitous (and, for a period piece, distractingly inappropriate) hand-held cinematography that jerks around wildly for no reason at all.
		Shot with just two cameras on a single sound stage set and unfolding in real-time, "Miss Julie" is something of an experiment in minimalist filmmaking (save Burrows' disheveled Gibson Girl hair and elaborate costumes, by 1998 Oscar-winner Sandy Powell).
		But even when the discourse isn't so silly and Figgis' technique isn't interfering, Miss Julie and the footman are still a pair of almost insufferable egomaniacs, in some ways made worse by the intensity of the performances.

		Antique though the drama may be, “Miss Julie” was never anything less than a thoroughly modern milestone in the development of theater as we know it.
		When the fiery-yet-fragile Julie (Heather Lea Anderson) opts to spend her Mardi Gras slumming with the servants, looking for a dance with the handsome and proudly confident Jean (Ed Onipede Blunt), there’s little doubt that anything good can befall the characters, given the realities of their time and place.
		Neither Julie nor Jean are precisely what they’ve made themselves out to be; her fine breeding is ultimately as threadbare as his courage.

		Because of their complexity and contradictions, the two key characters in Miss Julie present challenges even seasoned actors may be hard-pressed to meet.
		At no point does her Miss Julie show the supposed influence of her feminist, man-hating mother, who raised her daughters as boys.

		Review: "Miss Julie," one of those designated "classic" plays, is always being performed by one college drama department or another, for a very simple reason.
		And "Miss Julie," though essentially a one-act play, offers a juicy leading-lady role, a decent male role, a marginal supporting female role (she sleeps through most of the action) and a number of run-through extras who at least get to be onstage for five minutes.
		Miss Julie (Saffron Burrows) is a beautiful, impulsive and emotionally troubled aristocrat who, during some midsummer night's festival, decides to see how the other half, i.e., the servants, live.

		The dialogue regularly touches a base line of implications that build up as texture: the pervasive and skewed influence of Julie’s feminist mother; her passionate temperament seeking expression; the social climbing valet’s daydreams of opening and managing a hotel; his coarseness.
		Nor is there much sense of a July 4th party going on off stage corresponding to the midsummer dancing in Strindberg, where masters and servants on the estate mingle freely for a short while.
		Jean’s admission of having watched a young Julie from afar in her white dresses and air of privilege reaches across his motivation.
