Summary "Aarne Kalske: Nelinäytöksinen näytelmä" by T. E. Kivipelto is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Finland during the tumultuous years of 1917-1918, a period characterized by societal unrest and labor struggles, suggesting a focus on class conflicts and the lives of working-class individuals. The story revolves around the titular character, Aarne Kalske, who is depicted as a strong and intelligent machine worker advocating for the rights of his fellow workers, highlighting the struggles between the working class and their employers. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the central characters, including Aarne Kalske, the factory director Ståhle, and Elsie, Ståhle's daughter. The opening scene takes place in Ståhle's office, where Aarne and his colleagues confront the director about their demand for a wage increase due to the financial hardships stemming from the post-war economy. Their interaction reveals the tension between the working class and the capitalist leadership, underscoring the struggle for fair treatment. As the scene unfolds, we also glimpse Elsie's compassion for the struggles of the workers, setting the stage for potential conflicts and alliances that may arise as the story progresses.
