Summary "Jumalan kiitos, pöytä on katettu: Huvinäytelmä yhdessä näytöksessä" by Benedix is a theatrical play written during the late 19th century. This comedic one-act play delves into themes of love and marital dynamics, showcasing relationships in a domestic setting. The events unfold during a breakfast gathering, where the characters engage in charming banter, revealing the nuances of romantic relationships and the playful tensions that arise in daily life. The story revolves around a family led by Alfred and his wife Emma, who are hosting breakfast for Emma's parents, Salokangas and Katri. The play begins with Heikki and Liisa preparing the table, which leads to a humorous conflict over the phrase, "Jumalan kiitos, pöytä on katettu" ("Thank God, the table is set"). Heikki insists that Liisa should say this phrase to celebrate their work, while she stubbornly refuses, leading to amusing disputes. The comedic element intensifies as Alfred, after overhearing the argument, playfully challenges Emma to say the phrase as well, igniting a lively debate about obedience and individuality in marriage. Through witty dialogues, the characters explore themes of stubbornness, gender roles, and the nature of affection, culminating in a lighthearted resolution that emphasizes love and reconciliation.
