"Anno 7603: Skuespil i 6 Acter" by Johan Herman Wessel is a play written in the late 18th century. This work exemplifies a mix of comedy and social commentary, showcasing various characters, from noble ladies to soldiers, who navigate themes of love, gender roles, and societal expectations. The main characters, Julie and Leander, find themselves under the influence of a fairy, who proposes transformations that reflect their deepest desires. The opening of the play introduces Julie and Leander, who are in conversation with a fairy about their wishes for each other’s transformation. Julie expresses a desire for Leander to be more refined and affectionate, while Leander wishes for Julie to possess less femininity and more martial courage. As the fairy assures them of her protective care and promises to show them a future shaped by their preferences, she prepares to grant them a glimpse of a society where children are raised according to their ideals. This intriguing premise sets the stage for exploring how their relationship and surroundings might evolve in a world influenced by their wishes and societal norms regarding gender and behavior.
