Dreams and Aspirations
Lady Julie
Discuss the dreams and aspirations of the characters of Lady Julie. ...
In August Strindberg’s Lady Julie, the dreams and aspirations of the three characters, Lady Julie, Jean and Kristin tell us a great amount about them and their world. From their dreams and aspirations, and the way they act on them we are able to clearly see the conflicts and expectations of the different social classes. ...
Similarly to August who was tossed between two social classes and the traditions of his aristocratic father and the grim reality of the class of his mother, Lady Julie inherits the wild reckless passion of her mother and yet the slightly neurotic aristocratic tendencies of her father. This can be seen in many instances of Lady Julie’s behaviour. ... These characters dreams and aspirations are linked to their social class and status; many of the references made are due to where they stand on the social ladder. ... All Jean wanted was to enter the count’s garden to play with Lady Julie when they were both children, but he was not allowed to because of what social class he was in. ...
As well as the characters aspirations and dreams in a material state ,real dreams such as those we have in our sleep are symbolic as well. On Page 111 Miss Julie says: “I have a dream…I have climbed to the top of a pillar, and I am sitting there without any possibility of getting down.
