Terribly confusing when you're reading it too late in the night, but wildly beautiful too.

Taken as Strindberg intended, this play is a mournful exposition of Strindberg's prejudice against the "new woman." Nevertheless, the play is on the whole well-written and the characters though not greatly sympathetic are intriguing.

Reading this for University... unfortunately online & not as a proper book :/ Okay, bought it! I always prefer having paper copies of the books I read, especially when I want to go back and read bits later and/or like the book. Which I do in this case. At least so far.

I enjoyed the play... but I can't get over Strindberg's misogyny! Looking forward to discussing this in class.
