Tapio Riikonen "Veri on vettä sakeampi: 2-näytöksinen näytelmä" by Martti Wuori is a drama written in the early 20th century. The play revolves around a rural Finnish-Swedish community, exploring themes of national identity, social class, and family loyalty. The central characters include the Nygård family—Johannes, his wife Evelina, and daughter Jenny—along with their Finnish farmhand Aapo, neighboring landowners, and local officials. At the heart of the story is a conflict between Finnish and Swedish-speaking populations, intertwined with questions about love, inheritance, and personal sacrifice. The opening of the play sets the stage with tension between Aapo, the Finnish farmhand, and other members of the rural, Swedish-speaking community. Through lively and pointed dialogue, issues of language, cultural belonging, and social acceptance emerge, particularly regarding the right of Finnish speakers to own land and establish schools. Personal stakes are heightened as Jenny and Aapo share mutual affection, but family pressures and economic dependencies complicate their future. Meanwhile, neighboring landowners and officials—including Veckström and Peldán—actively conspire to maintain Swedish control and resist Finnish advances, using financial leverage and social pressure. The beginning establishes a layered drama where personal relationships collide with larger societal struggles over identity and power in early 20th-century Finland.
