Pirun miekka: Runonäytelmä
Tapio Riikonen
"Pirun miekka: Runonäytelmä" by Emil Elenius is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in the summer of 1421 and revolves around various characters in the historic context of Turku and Ruissalo. The main character is Hennekin Kuokkinainen, the mayor of Turku, who is engaged in political and personal conflicts as he navigates his responsibilities and turbulent marital relationship with his wife, Kaarina. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the bustling world of Hennekin's office where he is occupied with official duties, receiving messages about city matters and family connections with merchants. The dialogue presents a lively portrayal of local politics and social dynamics, featuring a clash between the characters who work for Hennekin and the introduction of conflicts among local tradespeople. The tension in Hennekin and Kaarina’s marriage is palpable as they confront issues of emotional neglect and the allure of social gatherings. The opening sets the tone for a rich exploration of historical themes intertwined with personal struggles, laying the groundwork for unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
