| Summary | "Umpisolmu : eli Asarias Pölläsen avioliitto" by Martti Wuori is a three-act play written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the young farmer Asarias Pöllänen and his struggles within his marriage, highlighting the complexities of love, familial pressure, and societal expectations. The play's main character, Asarias, is particularly conflicted as he navigates his responsibilities and desires, questioning the decisions that led to his current situation. The opening of the play introduces us to Asarias at home, deeply frustrated with the state of his marriage to Kaisa, who he feels does not fulfill his hopes for starting a family. Conversations with his mother, Heta, and their neighbor Ville reveal Asarias's desire for children and his growing resentment towards Kaisa for their childlessness. Ville suggests a humorous yet serious idea of "switching wives," playing into Asarias's feelings. Throughout the dialogue, we see the tension and comedic elements emerge between the characters, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of marital dynamics and personal longing as the story progresses.
