| Summary | "Anna Liisa; Kotoa pois" by Minna Canth is a drama in three acts written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around Anna Liisa, a young woman poised to marry Johannes, but is soon confronted by her troubled past when Mikko, an ex-lover, returns with claims to their former engagement. The narrative explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the weight of past decisions. The opening of the play introduces Anna Liisa as she works on her wedding garment while her fiancé Johannes expresses his eagerness for their upcoming nuptials. Their tender exchanges reveal a relationship filled with affection, but this budding joy is soon disrupted by the intrusion of Husso, who carries unsettling news of Mikko's imminent return. As the banter unfolds, Anna Liisa's anxiety about Mikko's reappearance foreshadows deeper conflicts involving her past choices and their potential to unravel her future plans. The atmosphere shifts from light-hearted anticipation to a palpable tension reflecting Anna Liisa's inner turmoil as she grapples with her emotions against the expectation of her impending marriage.
