Ispovijed jednog luđaka
In 1875, Strindberg met Baroness Sirri von Essen and fell in love. In two years, the inevitable happens: the baroness divorces the baron and marries Strindberg, accepting a much more uncertain future for the sake of that love.
Their marriage lasted fifteen torturous years, which Strindberg mercilessly describes in the novel Confessions of a Madman. The Baroness's licentiousness and Strindberg's hypersensitive and jealous nature brought the writer to the brink of a nervous breakdown. In this unhealthy marriage, Strindberg confirms and develops his aversion to the female gender based, as is usually the case with misogynists, in the obsessive adoration of a woman and the inability to bring his relationship with her to an imagined ideal of love.
