Kokouksesta palattua : Yksinäytöksinen kuvaus by Väinö Kataja
"Kokouksesta palattua: Yksinäytöksinen kuvaus" by Väinö Kataja is a one-act play written in the early 20th century, likely in the 1900s. This work revolves around the themes of education and societal progress within a rural Finnish community, reflecting the tensions between traditional views and modern ideals. The play showcases the struggle for support of a folk high school, a concept that seeks to uplift the community through education. The story is set
in the home of Valmari, the protagonist, and involves several key characters, including his daughter Hanna, who is deeply invested in the success of the folk high school and supports the ideas of Perälän Ville, a young man advocating for progress. The action unfolds around a town meeting where old-fashioned views clash with the hopes of the younger generation. Hanna's mother, Eeva-Priita, represents the resistance to change, worried about marrying her daughter to a prosperous but conservative farmer, Herralan Kustaa. The play captures the dynamics of familial relationships, generational conflict, and the broader societal implications of education, culminating in Ville's resolution to prove that the ideals he gained from his studies do not alienate him from hard work and community values.
