Mercadet Book

What did I just read?

Okay, first of all - this was required reading for my course in university. I would have never read this play voluntarily. This was a disaster. I know many authors of the past were misogynic in a subtle or not so subtle way...Sometimes I can ignore it, in cases like this one I cannot. Not with a foreword almost as long as the damned play itself.
After three pages of the foreword the reader gets an insight into the inner-world of Strindberg who was basically a misogynic dumbfuck, repeatedly uses the word "stunted" when talking about women and who incorporates everything he hates about women in the main character Julie.
Right.
Not that her "opponent" is any better. A walking talking insult to all men. If, at least, he was interesting. But he wasn't. Both he an Julie acted like fucking retards. No. Just no.

It is such a waste of time.
