The Illusion of Freedom in Miss Julie

The Illusion of Freedom in Miss Julie August Strindberg’s Miss Julie is a naturalistic play which manages the topics of affection, desire, and force battles between social classes and sexes. Being a naturalistic play, Miss Julie manages the childhood of and the earth encompassing the two primary characters, Julie and Jean, and how these components influence their motivations.As with the show in naturalism, the two principle characters would have no genuine authority over their destinies and rather be oppressed to genetic and ecological powers. Julie, being of refined plummet, appeared to have total opportunity. She approached the best of extravagances but could vigorously associate with the hirelings, for example, taking part in their Midsummer Eve festivity and hitting the dance floor with Jean, without extreme outcomes other than some tattle among the servants.However, Julie’s sexual orientation and childhood is by all accounts an incredible disservice and blocks her opportunity. Raised by her mom to act like a man but then scorn men and therefore herself, Julie became what Strindberg alludes to as a â€Å"man-detesting half-woman† (page 60), however this childhood permitted Julie to overlook the normal practices of her time and declare her strength upon male characters (her life partner and Jean), it is likewise liable for her possible self destruction which was suggested toward the finish of the play.The dream of Julie’s assumed opportunity is uncovered all through the play, with Jean holding control over her during a huge segment of the play and her dad, the Count, being a missing, yet all things considered overwhelming nearness all through the play, particularly at long last. Jean is oppositely inverse to Julie in his heredity, being of basic drop and a male, in spite of the fact that Jean is all around voyaged and has a level of modernity in his discourse and manners.He approaches little assets other than his own desire and as surance. Jean dreams dubiously of some time or another opening a lodging and utilizing the benefits and esteem picked up from such an endeavor to buy a title and make the most of himself a like Julie’s father. Regardless of the various force inversions that happened after his enchantment of Julie, he stays oppressed to power all through the play, both to that of Julie and particularly her father.Any token of the Count, for example, his boots, Jean’s second rate garments, and particularly the ringing ringer decreased Jean from a typically persuasive or twisted speaker to a despicable worker. There were numerous elements, other than the alleged love that was proclaimed by the two characters towards one other, which caused Julie and Jean to take part in such a tryst. The Midsummer Eve festivity and its inebriating beverages and enthusiasm initiating moving brought down the hindrances of both characters.The festivity expanded Julie’s desire and her passionate defens elessness from her as of late broken commitment with her life partner made Julie powerless against Jean’s enticement; his story of going gaga for her after looking at her and hence needing to murder himself due to the clearly absence of sentimental relationship that would frame between them was particularly compelling; Julie’s powerlessness to Jean’s temptation could likewise be ascribed to her female sensibilities.Likewise, the festival likely encouraged Jean to continue with his enchantment, with Jean’s extreme objective being utilizing Julie’s riches to fund his fantasies about opening a lodging and turning into a Count. Before Julie’s enchantment by Jean, she had the force or the presence of intensity in the relationship. Jean tended to her deferentially, as befitting a hireling conversing with his fancy woman. Julie could play with Jean and order him to do nearly anything, for example, driving him to hit the dance floor with her or kiss ing her shoes, as she was of a higher class and had authority over Jean, who was a modest servant.However, after Jean’s fruitful enticement of Julie, the class lines that existed between them were separated and they were became social equivalents, in this way their relationship moved concentration to control battles regarding sex. While Julie still abuse Jean in regards to his lower social standing, Jean reacts with injurious comments, for example, calling her a prostitute (page 90) for giving herself wholeheartedly to one with such a lower social standing, which was unfathomable for ladies in her situation at the time.Despite the opposing and sadomasochistic relationship that emerged between them after the enticement, Julie Jean despite everything could utilize each other to profit themselves. Julie was worn out on the social measures that were forced upon her, in this manner she wanted to tumble to Jean’s social level. Though Jean, with his fabulous desire of turning into a Count, tried to ascend in the social stepping stool through Julie’s riches. Julie and Jean had the option to briefly revolt, against the normal practices that compelled them, through engaging in extramarital relations regardless of the tremendous contrast in their social standings.They wanted to assist this insubordination through fleeing together and beginning their own inn. Be that as it may, this extreme arrangement was halted by Christine, who forestalled the sweethearts access to ponies and their break, who epitomized the social dissatisfaction at the impropriety of a tryst between two of such unique class and their arrangement to get away from the outcomes. Julie Jean despite everything could have gotten away by foot yet for the ringing of the chime that flagged the arrival of the Count.The Count, whose nearness plagued all through the story, whose very notice diminished Jean to crying servility, and disgraced and irritated Julie incredibly, at last held control over both the darlings. In spite of never being genuinely present in the play, the Count despite everything deserved extraordinary dread and admiration in both Julie and Jean. He represented the inescapability of social position and the force it directed over its subjects. The most persuading model regarding this is toward the finish of the play, Julie wished to end it all to get away from her disgrace and outrage however came up short on the self discipline to do so.She begged Jean to order to do as such, yet he endured a similar issue and did not have the resolution as well. Just through entrancing himself, by going about as the Count providing him an order, was Jean ready to order Julie to end it all. Just through both Julie and Jean submitting to the social power, spoke to by the Count, was Julie ready to accomplish the end that she wanted. At long last, however Julie and Jean had the option to briefly battle against the ecological powers through their issue and incubating an i ncredible getaway plan for another life, neither of the darlings had the option to get away from their individual childhoods and social classes.One could contend that Julie had the option to defy the social authority through self destruction which discharged its control over her; one should likewise look at that as a blue-blood, for example, her future instilled to abstain from bringing such extraordinary disgrace upon her family through her childhood and general conditions , along these lines the social authority is liable for her self destruction, which is practically obvious or even expected.Likewise, Jean couldn't get away from the social authority it is possible that, he couldn't end it all due to his absence of blue-blooded pride is supplanted with a more noteworthy feeling of self protection, in this manner Jean will endure the full rage of the Count and the social expert for causing Julie’s demise and endeavoring to disturb the social equilibrium.Ultimately, Jean and Julie have been and consistently will be dependent upon the social expert for the total of their lives, any control or opportunity is only a transitory figment which will be broken rapidly and significantly.

The Medias Role in the Escalation of Palmer Raids and the Red Scare in

Papers should give us an unprejudiced verifiable report of significant occasions, yet that isn’t consistently the case.â Newspapers can cause certain occasions to appear to be more significant and more considerable than other events.â This occurred during the Palmer Raids of the mid 1920’s.â Newspapers made the Palmer Raids increasingly predominant and Anti-Communist emotions more grounded among the American open during the 1920’s. To see how the media raised the Red Scare and Palmer Raids it assists with having a short history of them.â After World War I there was a Red Scare among numerous Americans.â There are numerous clarifications for this: wild swelling, an extreme activity advertise, strikes, race riots, and the public’s requirement for a substitute (Duminel 218).â When Attorney General A.

So you want to be a student-athlete

So you want to be a student-athlete Hi everybody, I play ice hockey in the winter and lacrosse in the spring here at MIT and spend a ton of time practicing, cross training and competing in my sports. I want to share my perspective on the pros and cons of playing a sport (or two) here and what type of adjustments being a successful student athlete at MIT requires. Personally, I wouldnt trade my spots on the hockey and lacrosse teams for any other opportunity at MIT. The pros simply outweigh the short list of cons. Yet I have friends who decided not to continue playing their competitive sports after high school or who quit their sports while at MIT because they decided the commitment wasnt worth it. So its a personal choice. Lets take a look at the ups and downs of MIT athletics. Playing hockey and lacrosse keeps me in shape year round. I never have to worry about voluntarily getting to the gym when I dont want to and the freshman 15 was just an abstract concept. If I didnt play sports, I hope I would be in shape but competing interscholastically forces me to stay healthy. Another benefit to competing is the sense of camaraderie and intense leadership training being a member (or being a leader) of a team entails. From aspiring to be voted captain to fulfilling smaller freshman duties, being a part of team builds character and encourages strong relationship building skills. Practice for most sports begins at 5pm and goes for an hour or two until 7pm at the latest. For both my sports, we practice Monday through Friday, and occasionally on Saturdays. We typically dont practice on game days (two games/week in season). Sundays very rarely have commitments. So thats 10-12 hours/week before including travel time or pre/post practice habits (taping up, stretching, bi king, icing, or showering). A lot of time. Combining this schedule with a rather rigorous (understatement much?) academic workload and sprinkling in other social and extra-curricular events becomes a free time cruncher. On the positive side, this constant stream of commitments keeps me focused and disciplined during the semesters. Its worth mentioning that the MIT athletic facilities are amazing. I use the ice rink, the Jack Berry turf field, the Steinbrenner stadium, the athletic training room, the weight/fitness room and various varsity locker rooms. Frequently I have trouble with the laundry system, but other than that Im really pleased with the facilities and management. The big drawbacks of playing a sport at MIT, for me, all relate to a time crunch. This time crunch presents itself in a number of fashions. First, on a day to day basis, athletes have fewer hours to dedicate to psets, studying for exams, and pursuing extracurricular (research, leadership positions on campus, etc) and social (parties, outings to Boston, relaxing with friends) interests. Second, practices (in most cases) are scheduled into the 5p-7p time slot. Most, if not all MIT undergraduate classes play into this schedule well by avoiding scheduling lectures, labs or recitations in these hours. However, if you want to cross-register (at Harvard or Wellesley for example) or if you want to take graduate level classes (most notably any Sloan (course 15) management classes), realize that these classes do not always avoid the 5p-7p time block. There are certain classes that I will not take while here because of this restriction. Bummer. Third, this time crunch also manifests itself on a larger scale Winter sports often compete during IAP (all of January) and spring sports frequently travel or compete during spring break in March. So while I can enroll in IAP classes and participate in research, I cannot leave campus, say, to do an international community service or design project (see D-lab). Its a trade-off. For spring break, I am already committed to a trip to Florida with the lacrosse team. Those are the biggest downsides. MIT has various support systems in place to help student athletes. The sports medicine department has many functions from training and nutritional analysis to injury prevention and treatment. The student athlete advisory committee (SAAC), a student run group, develops and communicates changes in policy and procedure with regards to MIT athletics and athletic facilities. All varsity sports are Division III except for crew (which is D-I). MIT also has over 30 club sport offerings. Lacrosse is D-III, while hockey is a club team. Although this is entirely personal, I love the level of competition. Athletes here care about results, and train hard. But we are not completely oblivious to other uniquely college (or MIT) opportunities as some more intense D-I programs are. I am a brother in a fraternity, I somehow find time to write for this blog, I frequently participate in UROPs and I have a pretty solid social life. So playing a sport at MIT doesnt mean shutting other opportunities out, but it does mean sacrifice. For me, the tradeoff makes sense. Staying healthy and being a member of a team in college is of real importance to me. Is it to you?

Funny Quotes From the Movie Home Alone

In the 1990 movie Home Alone, 8-year-old Kevin McCallister is accidentally left behind (via a series of unlikely events) while the rest of his family is on vacation in Europe for the Christmas holidays. Kevin believes the situation is due to his wish that his family would disappear, so (for some reason) does not seem alarmed, and doesnt contact the authorities. Unfortunately for Kevin, two bumbling robbers (played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) are casing the neighborhood looking for homes whose occupants are away on vacation. They settle on Kevins house, but he prepares a series of booby traps to keep them from entering. Eventually, Kevins family returns and the bad guys get caught. The movie was a huge box-office success  and launched the acting career of child star Macauley Culkin, who played Kevin. It spawned four sequels, each increasingly more far-fetched (this family cant possibly abandon their child so frequently, after all).   Quotes From Home Alone Kevin: When I grow up and get married Im living alone! Did you hear me? Im living alone! Im living alone! Im living alone! Kevin: I made my family disappear. I made my family disappear! Kevin: Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen. Kevin: This is my house, I have to defend it. Kevin: Hey, Im not afraid anymore! I said Im not afraid anymore! Do you hear me? Im not afraid anymore! Kevin: You guys give up yet? Or are you thirsty for more? Kevin: Down here, you idiots! Come and get me before I call the police! Kevin: Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back. Harry (first burglar): Merry Christmas, little fella! We know that youre in there and that youre all alone. Harry: You bomb me with one more can, kid, and Ill snap off your cajones and boil them in motor oil! Harry: Its too late for you, kid; were already in the house. Were gonna get ya! Marv (second burglar): Yeah, come on, kid, open up. Its Santa Claus... and his elf! Marv: Hes a kid. Kids are stupid. I know I was. Marley (Kevins elderly neighbor): You live down the street from me, right? You know anytime you see me you can always say hello, you dont have to be afraid. A lot of stuff has been said about me... none of its true. Kevin: No offense, arent you too old to be afraid?Marley: You can be too old for a lot of things, but youre never too old to be afraid. Kate McCallister (Kevins mother): This is Christmas, the season of perpetual hope. And I dont care if I have to get out on your runway and hitchhike. If it costs me everything I own, if I have to sell my soul to the devil himself, I am going to get home to my son. Kate McCallister: How could we do this? We forgot him.Peter McCallister (Kevins father): We didnt forget him, we just miscounted.Kate: What kind of a mother am I?Frank: If it makes you feel any better, I forgot my reading glasses.

Essay about The Death Penalty - 1771 Words

The most severe of all sentences: that of death. Also known as the death penalty, capital punishment is the most severe form of corporal punishment as it is requires law enforcement officers to kill the offender. It has been banned in many countries. In the United States, an earlier move to eliminate capital punishment has now been reversed and more and more states are resorting to capital punishment for serious offenses such as murder. In this essay, I will elaborate on capital punishment and on the cases of Joe Guy, Tommy Zeigler, Leroy Orange, and Charles Munsey. The Bible mentions that one should not take another’s life and people have been violating this for centuries. We use it in reference to burglary, adultery, love and many†¦show more content†¦Consider those jurisdictions that eschew capital punishment altogether. What sanction can such jurisdictions really apply to those who have already been sentenced to life in prison without parole? Sentences of this sort may take more lives overall by increasing the number of essentially unpunishable within prison homicides of guards and fellow inmates.53 Many murderers are killed in prison even in states that lack the death penalty.54 And if murderers are eventually paroled into the general population, some of them will kill again. Overall, it is quite possible that the permanent incapacitation of murderers through execution might save lives on net. A finding that capital punishment deters-and deterrence is our focus here-is sufficient but not necessary to find a life-life tradeof f. With this being said capital punishment is serving in a positive way. If capital punishment spectator would look at it this way, and publicize it in a manner to get a message across to the violent offenders these corrupt crime wave would drop dramatically. In the case involving Joe Guy, he was convicted for his role in a 1993 convenience-store robbery in Plainview, TX in which the store owner was killed, and his elderly mother wounded.
