Animal Imagery in "Miss Julie"

August Strindberg was one of the first naturalist playwriters. Darwinism affects naturalist as a product of blind external forces or biological forces, primarily genetic and environmental forces. By copying the details of the observed environment, artists can give the audience a deeper understanding of the forces acting on the character. Miss Julie showed a naturalistic view that humans are strict products of their power - "free will" and "choice" are both fancy.

She belongs to aristocracy and is superior to her father's servant in society. It began with the beginning of the drama. She tried to make her social position positive. This is through an animal picture of Miss Jury, a glimpse of society, and lack of equality among people of different societies. At the same time, it also reflects that people belonging to the lower level are always rushing to become successful and become a higher-ranking person.

The image of the first animal used by Strindberg is a dog. Jean explained the way that Miss Julie made a former fiancé before Christian, using the image of the dog to Christine. "How can she skip the horse riding, just like teaching to jump to a dog." A dog is a very loyal animal, so a dog is a close friend. Jean Jean compares what Miss Jules did for previous fiancées and those against dogs to prove that Miss Jules is the dominant or master. Stringberg used the image of the dog again when Miss Julie told Jean. Miss Julie considers her social position far beyond his social position and their relationship can be compared with the owner and his dog. The image of the dog in the drama is also used to show the difference of the social class. During the play, Miss Julie's dog, Diana was soaked in the Cabin Guardian Pug. Jean looks down on Miss Julie.

The image of the last animal used in the play is an image of an eagle's animal. Jean explained to Miss Julie the appearance of the underworld. "Do you know what the world looks like from the bottom? You are not like people like Hawks and Falcons, people rarely see their backs, the bottom line is a mistake As Julie is a member of the upper class, she actually shows that he can see the return of Hawks Jean is a member of the lower class, but only the bottom layer is visible Eagle Another sign that is about the course in a story is that they dream of climbing a tree as if they are flying over everyone.To climb this tree It symbolizes the success of Jean in life and is part of the upper class, while Miss Julie is also dreaming "I am dreaming ... I climbed the top of the pillar I fall We sat there without the possibility that. "
