Alaikäinen: Huvinäytelmä 5:ssä näytöksessä
Translation of: Недоросль [Nedoroslʹ].
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Alaikäinen: Huvinäytelmä 5:ssä näytöksessä" by D. I. Fonvizin is a comedic play written in the late 19th century. The work revolves around the life of the Prostakoff family, focusing on their son Mitrofan and the various family dynamics and societal expectations surrounding marriage and relationships. The humor in the narrative hints at the absurdities and contradictions within the upper classes of Russian society. The opening of the play introduces us to the Prostakoff household, highlighting the character of Mitrofan, who is being fussed over by his mother, Rva Prostakoff, as she criticizes the poorly fitted jacket made for his upcoming engagement. As the dialogue unfolds, it reveals the tensions between family members regarding responsibilities and perceptions of wealth, as well as misunderstandings involving Mitrofan's education and prospects. There is also the introduction of various secondary characters who contribute to the comedic chaos in the family home, hinting at conflicts and romantic entanglements that will likely play a central role throughout the drama. Overall, the beginning sets a lighthearted tone, ultimately leading to potential conflicts over love and family that echo the societal norms of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
