Seppälä is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. Set in Finland, the play centers around an upper-class family and blends romance and social satire, particularly poking fun at the rigid social hierarchies and eccentric characters of the period. The main plot unfolds around Edvin, a lieutenant, who seeks the hand of Cecilia, facing opposition from her family who are intent on upholding tradition and social standing. The work shows potential readers a blend of romantic intrigue and wit, as well as lively caricatures of both gentry and commoners. The opening of the play introduces the Klingenskjöld family at Pyhäjoki Manor, highlighting the stuffy, tradition-bound atmosphere and the generational divide between the characters. Edvin confides in Arvo about his feelings for Cecilia and his plan to ask for her hand, while Arvo cynically points out the obstacles presented by the family’s social ambitions and internal rivalries. Through witty dialog and comic situations, tension quickly mounts as Edvin’s proposal to Cecilia’s mother is met with misunderstanding and resistance, due both to class prejudices and the mother’s own ambiguous affections. Following this dramatic rejection, the plot shifts to a colorful tavern where Edvin teams up with local characters to plot an elopement, featuring humorous scenes of bickering and scheming among the commoners. The tone is light, with lively banter and sharp characterizations, setting the stage for a farcical romantic rescue.
