Kyttyrä-selkäinen tahi Työn voima: Porvarillinen näytelmä neljässä näytöksessä
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Kyttyrä-selkäinen tahi Työn voima: Porvarillinen näytelmä neljässä näytöksessä" is a dramatic play likely written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the struggles of its characters against social and economic injustices, with a particular focus on Ernst Herbig, a working-class man, who is in love with Emilia, the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer. The play explores themes of class conflict, love, and societal expectations. The opening of the play introduces various characters, including von Mahlow, a wealthy factory owner, and his son Kaarle, who seems to have little interest in work, contrasting sharply with Ernst, whose financial struggles are compounded by caring for his ailing sister, Maria. The tension begins to unfold as Mahlow discusses Ernst's request for assistance with his debts. Kaarle's disdain for the working class is apparent as he speaks of Ernst's love for Emilia, foreshadowing the conflicts that will arise from class distinctions. As the characters interact, underlying themes of ambition, morality, and societal roles start to set the stage for the ensuing drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 53.3 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
