Juliette

Product Information

William Shakespeare is introduced by the cast at his first production of Romeo and Juliet, who then welcomes the audience to his newest play ("Larger than Life"). Shakespeare then also introduces his wife, Anne Hathaway, who is visiting from Stratford-upon-Avon to see the play. She suggests he change the ending, wondering what would have happened if Juliet did not kill herself, much to Shakespeare's displeasure ("I Want It That Way"). Nevertheless, Shakespeare allows his wife to explain her idea for the play, which begins with Juliet waking up to find Romeo dead ("...Baby One More Time").

Bloom, Heather (10 May 2022). "& Juliet, to premiere at Melbourne's Regent Theatre in 2023". Australian Stage. The essay ( Excursus II) "Juliette or Enlightenment and Morality" in Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947) analyses Juliette as the embodiment of the philosophy of enlightenment. They write: "she demonises Catholicism as the most-up-to-date mythology -- and along with it, civilisation as a whole. Her comportment is enlightened and efficient as she goes about her work of sacrilege … She favours system and consequence."

Juliette is a novel written by the Marquis de Sade and published 1797–1801, accompanying Sade's 1797 version of his novel Justine. While Justine, Juliette's sister, was a virtuous woman who consequently encountered nothing but despair and abuse, Juliette is an amoral nymphomaniac murderer who is successful and happy. The full title of the novel in the original French is L'Histoire de Juliette ou les Prospérités du vice, and the English title is "Juliette, or Vice Amply Rewarded" (versus "Justine, or Good Conduct Well-Chastised"). As many other of his works, Juliette follows a pattern of violently pornographic scenes followed by long treatises on a broad range of philosophical topics, including theology, morality, aesthetics, naturalism and also Sade's dark, fatalistic view of world metaphy (en)

Andrea Dworkin, who vilified Sade as the archetypal woman-hating pornographer, nevertheless modeled her first novel Ice and Fire ( 1986) on Juliette. a b Wood, Alex (23 August 2021).

L'Éducation de Laure fut le troisième: autre production manquée net, par de fausses considérations. Si l'auteur eût prononcé l'uxoricide, qu'il laisse soupçonner, et l'inceste, autour duquel il tourne sans cesse en ne l'avouant jamais, s'il eût multiplié davantage les scènes luxurieuses... mis en action les goûts cruels dont il ne fait que donner l'idée dans sa préface, l'ouvrage, plein d'imagination, devenait délicieux: mais les trembleurs me désespèrent, et j'aimerais cent fois mieux qu'ils n'écrivissent rien, que de nous donner des moitiés d'idées.Set in the 1770 and 1780s, Juliette starts off as a young girl raised in a nunnery, but later joins a brothel in her teenage years. She becomes the most prestigious, sought-after prostitute among the French Aristocracy, and eventually falls in love with three elites, Saint-Fond, Noirceuil, and Clairwel, who collectively corrupt her into a murderous, nymphomaniacal noblewoman that goes on a decade-long misadventure of debauchery and degeneracy. From Nobody to Nightmare: The story follows Juliette's 20-year journey, where she goes from a young orphan girl in a nunnery to the biggest menace in Europe.
