Inari: Romaani
E-text prepared by Anna Siren and Tapio Riikonen
"Inari: Romaani" by L. Onerva is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Inari, a woman grappling with feelings of loneliness and emotional turmoil, as she awaits the arrival of a man named Porkka, who has a profound impact on her life. It deeply explores themes of love, identity, and the complexities of gender roles, emphasizing Inari's internal struggles as she yearns for connection amid her troubling past. The opening of the novel introduces us to Inari, who is alone in her dimly lit rented room, plagued by a sense of dread as she waits for Porkka, already overcome by feelings of loneliness and anxiety. The atmosphere is eerie, characterized by the sounds of the sea and the howling wind, which mirrors Inari's emotional state. As she reflects on her tumultuous childhood, marked by a volatile home environment, and her longing for a meaningful relationship, the reader gets insight into her character: an imaginative yet uncertain woman who desires love but feels trapped by societal expectations. The tension builds as her thoughts oscillate between hope and despair, setting the stage for the exploration of her complex relationship with Porkka and the impact it will have on her life.
