Describe the servant Jean and how he evolved through self-education in the play?
Jean is the thirty-year-old valet of the Count's estate. He is the subject of Miss Julie's advances after her failed engagement. Jean suffers from a profound envy regarding his position in the class system and as a result has a great capacity for cruelty. While initially presenting himself as courteous, he soon reveals his inner sadism. Like Miss Julie, he is somewhat dualistic and simultaneously degrades her while envying her social position.
