| Summary |
"Ulkokullattu: 1-näytöksinen ilveily" by Sakari Ruotsalo is a one-act play written during the early 20th century, specifically published in 1925. The play features a blend of comedic elements and societal commentary, exploring themes of love, ambition, and deception within a rural community. The narrative focuses on the complex relationships between characters as they navigate romantic pursuits and societal expectations. The storyline unfolds primarily in Eeva's tidy room, where the dynamics of love and ambition intertwine among several characters. Kerttu, Eeva's foster daughter, is at the center of romantic interests from Mikko, a handsome farmhand, and Sylvester Suveliini, a merchant and preacher. Eeva's attempts to secure a future for Kerttu complicate matters, especially with a significant testament influencing the characters’ actions. Ultimately, the relationships are tested when hidden motives and true affections surface, culminating in a comedic yet insightful resolution that highlights the farcical nature of social pretense and the genuine connections that emerge from it.
