"Jeppe Niilonpoika eli Talonpojan ihmeelliset seikkailut" by Ludvig Holberg is a five-act comedy written in the early 18th century. The story revolves around Jeppe, a hapless peasant whose life takes a wild turn when he unexpectedly finds himself in the luxurious lifestyle of a baron after a night of drunken escapades. This play explores themes of class, identity, and the social dynamics of Holberg's time, offering both humor and incisive social commentary. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Jeppe, who is primarily characterized by his slothfulness and penchant for drinking. His wife, Nilla, struggles to wake him for market day, highlighting their tumultuous relationship. Jeppe laments his miserable existence filled with beatings and neglect, as he contemplates his fate. The scene transitions to Jeppe's encounter with Jaakko, the cobbler, where he expresses his desire for a drink before embarking on his errand. This opening portion sets the stage for Jeppe's misadventures, laying the groundwork for the subsequent absurdity when he falls asleep only to wake up in the baron's bed, convinced he is a nobleman, and prompting further humorous turmoil among the characters surrounding him.
