Summary "Syteen taikka saveen" by Santeri Alkio is a play written in the late 19th century. This work features a blend of drama and comedy centered around rural life and domestic relationships, particularly focusing on themes of family, aging, and societal expectations. The script showcases the struggles and humorous challenges of its characters as they navigate emotional complexities. In the storyline, the main character Iisakki Peräkorpi, a widowed farmer, grapples with loneliness and contemplates taking a new wife, which sets off a comedic series of misunderstandings and familial conflicts. His daughter Miina and son Juho have various reactions to this plan, which complicates the household dynamics. Iisakki's attempts to woo his housemaid, Liisa, and the interference of village gossip and potential suitors add to the drama. The interactions among the characters reveal truths about love, responsibility, and the nature of family, ultimately leading to a heartfelt resolution that underscores the importance of understanding and unity.
