Finnish Väkinäinen naiminen Produced by Matti Järvinen "Väkinäinen naiminen" by Molière is a comedic play written in the early 17th century, during the period often referred to as the Baroque era. This work is a one-act farce that humorously explores the themes of love, marriage, and social expectations. The play follows the misadventures of Sganarelle, a middle-aged man pursuing marriage with the young and beautiful Dorimena, a setup that leads to a series of misunderstandings and comedic situations. The storyline centers on Sganarelle's enthusiastic decision to marry Dorimena, driven by his desire for companionship and the prospect of having children to continue his lineage. However, his confidence is soon shaken by the doubts and opinions of his friend Jeronymus and his encounters with various characters, including philosophers and gypsies, who each provide their own humorous and contradictory advice regarding marriage. As Sganarelle navigates this comedic chaos, he inadvertently learns more about himself and the institution of marriage, culminating in a twist where circumstances compel him to accept his situation. Ultimately, the play offers a light-hearted critique of societal norms regarding love and marriage, showcasing Molière's wit and keen observation of human follies.
