Miss Julie

I enjoyed reading this play, and I thought the play was very good at keeping your attention, however, I did not like the characters in this play. I felt like at some point in the play each one of them were annoying, especially Miss Julie. Miss Julie came off as extremely naive throughout the play, and she was always confused with what she wanted. She did not know if she loved Jean or hated him, if she wanted to run away or to face the wrath of the Count, or if she hated men or she hated women. Miss Julie was also weak, because she let Jean order her to most likely commit suicide. Jean was no better because he was conniving and manipulative while he tried to seduce Miss Julie. Overall, I did like the play and it kept my interest throughout, but the main characters were not likable.
