In recent years, critics have looked at the novel through the lens of sexuality and what they have found is particularly interesting. This conflict between Miss Brodie and other staff members and some parents is one of the most important conflicts in the novel overall. Her beliefs are unique among teachers at the school who think that she is wrong to praise a dictator, especially in front of young, impressionable students. She has pictures of Mussolini, the Italian fascist dictator, in her classroom and talks about him in only highly positive terms to her students. Miss Brodie is, from the start of the novel, understood to be a great admirer of Fascism. Politics play a key role in ' The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'. This desire for control would not be allowed in a school nowadays but Spark shows us how influential the voice of one adult can be over the lives of children that adult is responsible for. Joyce Emily does as she is told and is later killed in an attack.
For example, she urges one student Joyce Emily to go and fight in Spain on behalf of the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Miss Brodie tries to mould her students into what she wants them to become, often putting pressure on them to behave in the way she wants them to. She is the teacher and, in the classroom, she is in charge. Jean Brodie exerts her influence to a great extent in the novel.
