Tapio Riikonen "Korpi herää : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Kaarle Halme" is a one-act play written in the early 20th century. It dramatizes the rise of the temperance movement and a broader social awakening in rural Finland, showing how reformist ideas begin to challenge destructive habits and old ways. The action unfolds in the Suokorpi farmhouse, where the family—father Simuna, son Heikki, and daughter Elina—grapple with the ruin brought by drinking. Perttu, a former moonshiner turned book peddler and temperance advocate, arrives with sober counsel just as news spreads that a drunken brawl at Hyyppölä’s dance has left Pohjan Jaska fatally injured. Mikko, Elina’s intended and Heikki’s friend, returns shattered, admits he likely struck the blow, and, in despair, tries to seize a weapon before Elina and the others calm him. He resolves to surrender to the authorities, bids a painful farewell to Elina, and the household, stirred by guilt and love, leans toward reform—signaling that the “forest” is indeed awakening.
