| Summary | "Naimiskauppa: Yksinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä" by Martti Wuori is a one-act play written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around the topic of marriage negotiations, focusing on the challenges and social implications faced by a Finnish family living in Petersburg. The characters navigate complex relationships and societal expectations in their quest for love and compatibility. The story unfolds in the household of Heikki Vasara, a craftsman, as he and his wife, Anna, grapple with their daughter Olga’s romantic choice involving a wealthy yet untrustworthy Russian suitor, Vanja Kulikov. Throughout the play, family dynamics emerge, revealing Heikki's protective nature and Anna’s aspirations for social status through their daughter's marriage. Their conversations and interactions with other characters, including the loyal servant Kalle, highlight themes of love, betrayal, and societal pressures. As tensions rise, revelations about Kulikov’s deceit come to light, ultimately leading to a confrontation that reshapes the relationships within the family. In the end, the play underscores the importance of genuine affection and moral values over mere financial gain in marriage. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
