초록
This study compares and examines how naturalistic deterministic characteristics are represented through the protagonists of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie and Bernard Shaw’s Heartbreak House. Strindberg’s play emphasizing naturalistic determinism as a result of psychological conflict in the social environment shows the result of personal desires through tragic ruin. Strindberg portrays the moral depravity and sinfulness of human nature in Miss Julie, centering on the ruthless sexual struggle for survival. On the other hand, Shaw’s Heartbreak House emphasizes hopeful despair from a social Darwinian point of view rather than destruction. The play illustrates a naturalistic view of the inevitable choices and consequences for survival in the war caused by the illusion that has devastated mankind. The crossed desire and love of the female protagonists in the two plays symbolizes the religious and social dilemma of a decisive fate.
Abstract
This study compares and examines how naturalistic deterministic characteristics are represented through the protagonists of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie and Bernard Shaw’s Heartbreak House. Strindberg’s play emphasizing naturalistic determinism as a result of psychological conflict in the social environment shows the result of personal desires through tragic ruin. Strindberg portrays the moral depravity and sinfulness of human nature in Miss Julie, centering on the ruthless sexual struggle for survival. On the other hand, Shaw’s Heartbreak House emphasizes hopeful despair from a social Darwinian point of view rather than destruction. The play illustrates a naturalistic view of the inevitable choices and consequences for survival in the war caused by the illusion that has devastated mankind. The crossed desire and love of the female protagonists in the two plays symbolizes the religious and social dilemma of a decisive fate.
