Summary "Mestarin nuuskarasia" by Robert Kiljander is a one-act comedic play first published in the late 19th century. The play revolves around the lives of a few central characters, primarily focusing on the interactions between a young merchant named Vilho, his fiancée Mari, and her uncle Blom, a shoemaker. The narrative explores themes of honesty, deception, and the complications of human relationships, particularly concerning Vilho's struggle with his addiction to snuff, represented by the titular snuffbox. In the play, Vilho aims to establish a romantic relationship with Mari while secretly grappling with his addiction to snuff, which he has promised to abandon for her sake. However, despite his best intentions, he succumbs to temptation and is caught by Janne, a mischievous apprentice, who threatens to expose him. This leads to a series of misunderstandings and jealousy, particularly when Mari becomes suspicious of Vilho's fidelity. Ultimately, the story culminates in a comical resolution, as Vilho's secret is revealed in an unexpected way, leading to both tension and reconciliation between the characters, highlighting the foolishness of jealousy and the complexities of love.
