Fireweed London is a very complex place, especially when you are 15 and on your own in the blitz of 1940. Jill Paton Walsh’s novel “Fireweed” shows this when two adolescents “Bill and Julie” who know nothing about each other. They are then thrown into an increasingly complicated relationship which has its ups and downs. At the beginning of the novel their relationship was simply a business partnership, as Julie had money and Bill knew his way about London. When they found out about this they went out for a bite to eat. When Julie and Bill first met they were complete strangers to one another, but because they were on their own, in London during the war they decided that a friend would be a good idea. At the restaurant Bill and Julie learned more about each other. At this point I think in the novel Bill and Julie have no feelings for each other whatsoever, it’s simply just a business partnership. They are both lonely, she has money he doesn’t and he knows his way about London and she doesn’t. At this point in the novel Bill is trying to impress Julie as this is quite normal for an adolescent boy. The first real problem in the relationship occurs when Bill and Julie are at the park having a good time, until Bill spots his dad. This is a major turning point in their relationship as one little problem grows and becomes a crisis when Bill can’t decide if he wants to go get his father or stay with Julie, if he chooses to go see his dad, he will be sent to Wales and she will be sent to Canada ... ... middle of paper ... ...lising he can’t find her he visits every hospital in London asking for a Julie and they all reply no. He then runs until he can run no more. When Bill eventually does get in to see Julie he can’t really talk to her as her Mum and brother are in the room, so he sticks to small talk. Julie’s Brother Robin butts in and says “look pal thanks for everything but if there is anything more than a friendship then beat it”. Bill is about to talk when Julie says “don’t be silly Robin of course there is nothing in it, nothing at all”. After this Bill fells the worst he has ever felt in his life and thinks that the only way out is death. Bill is so hurt by Julie’s comment that he wants to kill himself. Many years later after the war he looks back on his relationship with Julie and thinks to himself what if it was only a cover up and she did have feelings for him.

As the play opens, Miss Julie is immediately shown to intermingle between various social classes. Jean says that, “Miss Julie’s running wild again. She’s gone crazy!” (Strindberg 11) This shows Julie’s tendency to break the barriers of social class. As Jean says “again,” it implies that Julie has broken the barriers multiple times. Jean also states that “As soon as she [Julie] sets eyes on me she rushes over and asks to dance…” (Strindberg 12) This statement clearly depicts Julie’s eagerness and willingness to cross the restrictions put on her. Jean’s surprise at Julie’s actions also shows Julie’s actions are very uncouth in regard to societal expectations. Such expectations are also seen when Kristine says “She [Diana] sneaked out with the gamekeeper’s mutt and got knocked up. Miss Julie just won’t have it!” (Strindberg 14) The dog, Diana, symbolizes Julie, as a person as well as her desires to defect from societal barriers. The dog coupled with a mongrel dog, much as her mistress doesn’t care about the class of others. Yet, this comes off as very hypocritical as Miss ...
Before discovering Janice was pretending to be Romeo, Julie also investigated who the mysterious person on the motorcycle was. This event was considered interesting to the reader due to the fact that when the character is introduced, they have no identity and act in a peculiar way that didn’t reveal who it truly was. This is demonstrated on page 211 and 212 when Julie says “It was indeed my motorcycle stalker, making textbook figure-eights beneath a streetlamp. There was no doubt in my mind that it was the same guy who had followed me twice before…” (Fortier 211-212). This is intriguing due to the reader having to continue reading to discover that the motorcyclist isn't actually Romeo, but is Janice instead. This factor adds complications to the conflict along with Alessandro being the possible intruder at Julie’s hotel room in Verona as expressed on page 235. At this moment in the story, Julie is defending Alessandro, but doesn’t realize that there is a possibility that he is the one who “broke into (Julie’s) hotel room..” ( Fortier
