| Summary |
"Kuka nyt vävyksi? Kaksinäytöksinen ilveily" by Aukusti Korhonen is a comedy play written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the humorous complications that arise when two suitors vie for the hand of Hanna, the daughter of a newly wealthy blacksmith family. The story explores themes of class, ambition, and romance, set against the backdrop of a society that is evolving from traditional values towards a more modern way of life. The play unfolds in two acts, introducing a range of characters including the ambitious parents, the modest and clever daughter Hanna, and her suitors, Lieutenant Söderhjelm and the scholarly Master Hellman. The Räsänen family’s aspirations for social status bring forth comedic misunderstandings and rivalries. Hanna, caught between social expectations and her feelings, ultimately reveals her affections for Pekka Ihalainen, a simple man from her past, leading to a resolution that favors genuine relationships over pretentious societal roles. Through lively dialogues and interactions, the play critiques the superficiality of social climbing while celebrating authenticity and true love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
