Are Miss Julie and Jean truly in love with each-other or are they only interested in the sexual part of the matter as they attempt to seduce each-other?

Miss Julie constantly puts across the feeling that she feels threatened by individuals that she interacts with and that it is thus necessary for her to adopt a defensive attitude in an attempt to put across the fact that she is superior. Even with this, she willingly alienates herself from the aristocracy in order to spend most of her time with her servants. This influences servants to be hesitant about connecting with her as they realize that the repercussions can be particularly disturbing. Jean is the only one who appears to understand her and to connect to her to a higher level.

Is Jean solely interested in demonstrating that he is superior and thus feels that he needs to trick Miss Julie as he becomes actively involved in ruining...

The playwright obviously focused on displaying this character's power by focusing on little things, this making his personae even more important and dominant. It is because of his authority that Julie gets the courage to commit suicide and Jean feels petrified.
What did Strindberg intend by constantly emphasizing the influence that the Count's personality had on any person who was inferior to him?
