"Kun uusi viini kukkii" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson is a play written in the early 20th century. The work centers on the lives and interpersonal relationships of a modern, intellectually active family and their circle during a summer at their country estate, with particular focus on themes such as marriage, women's independence, generational gaps, and evolving social mores. The main characters include Pastor Hall, his spirited daughters, and their wider family and acquaintances, whose dialogues explore changing attitudes toward love, authority, and individual choice in the context of both tradition and modernity. The opening of the play introduces the setting—a pair of family houses surrounded by a lush summer landscape—and quickly draws the reader into lively interactions among the characters. Pastor Hall returns from a bicycle ride and is soon playfully interrogated by a group of young women, including his nieces and daughters, about his recent sermon on marriage and the writings of Paul the Apostle. The discussion becomes a spirited debate on the roles of authority, obedience, and gender equality in marriage, highlighting the younger generation’s progressive views and the older generation’s attempts to reconcile tradition with new ideals. Interwoven are personal subplots: romantic interests, generational misunderstandings, and the restlessness of youth seeking autonomy. Subtle humor, rapid dialogue, and complex emotional undercurrents set the tone for a thoughtful but engaging examination of family, love, and the spirit of the times.
