| Summary |
"Wakefieldin kappalainen" by Oliver Goldsmith is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers around the life of a clergyman and his family living in Wakefield, exploring their daily experiences, relationships, and the challenges they face in their societal and economic environment. Key characters include the clergyman, his devoted wife, and their children, each contributing to the familial and social dynamics that shape their lives. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the Wakefield parson and his thoughts on marriage and family life. He reflects on his contentment with his wife and children, noting their mutual affection and the simplicity of their rural existence. The humble yet fulfilling life of the clergyman is depicted through anecdotes about visiting relatives, the jovial gatherings with neighbors, and the involvement of his children in various activities. However, hints of forthcoming challenges are also present, as the clergyman juggles the expectations placed upon him as a religious leader while navigating the complexities of his family's fortunes and social interactions.
