Tapio Riikonen "Suorin tie paras: Yksinäytöksinen ilveily" by August von Kotzebue is a comedic play written during the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the competition between two clergymen vying for a pastoral position, set against the backdrop of a benevolent and resourceful major's estate. The central theme includes the complexities of love, choice, and community expectations, as the major seeks to arrange a suitable marriage for his ward Amalia while also dealing with the ensuing comedic situations brought about by the clergymen's attempts to win favor. The play begins with Major von Murten contemplating the selection of a new pastor, as two candidates come forward—Elias Krumm, a learned but somewhat pretentious man, and Fredrik Wahl, who harbors a secret love for Amalia, the ward. As Krumm attempts to ingratiate himself with the community and the major, Amalia cleverly devises a scheme to determine which man is more suitable for her. As the story unfolds, misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and humorous exchanges abound, leading to amusing situations where both Krumm and Wahl unwittingly end up entangled in the past and present romances of those around them. Ultimately, through a series of comedic events, both candidates' true natures are revealed, and love triumphs in unexpected ways, culminating in the revelation that the straightforward approach—“the shortest path is the best”—holds true for all involved.
