Summary: "Saituri: Komedia 5:ssä näytöksessä" by Molière is a comedic play written in the 17th century. The story revolves around the central character Harpagon, a miserly father whose greed affects the lives and loves of his children, Cléante and Élise, as well as their romantic interests. The play explores themes of avarice, love, and the struggles of its characters against Harpagon’s obsession with wealth. The opening of the play introduces a dialogue between Valére and Élise, who express their mutual affection but also their worries about her father’s potential disapproval due to his greed. Cléante, her brother, reveals his love for Mariane, whom their father, Harpagon, has also set his sights on marrying for her wealth. The scene sets up a conflict of desires, as both children are caught between their romantic aspirations and their father's controlling nature. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Harpagon’s extreme miserly behavior will create tension and comedic situations among the characters, all of whom are trying to navigate his oppressive financial concerns while pursuing their own happiness.
