bookarino 's review for:

Fröken Julie by August Strindberg
2.0

I feel I cannot rate this play at the moment because despite the fact that it threw me into fits of feminist rage with its awful, misogynistic slut-shaming, it is also a fantastically written play. Strindberg sets the stage and builds the tension of the play deftly which is why I hope against hope that he was just hyperbolizing with his "I am a man and by default better than you, woman" rhetoric.
Usch, talk about unlikeable characters!
