Seuranäytelmiä 304 Tapio Riikonen "Kannaksen lumous : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Kersti Bergroth is a one-act play written in the early 20th century. It explores a young woman’s choice in love against the backdrop of the Karelian Isthmus, setting material ambition and strict “oorninki” (orderly efficiency) against the region’s lyrical, unhurried charm. In a cozy farmhouse, Ulla’s father awaits the wealthy landowner Suvonen, who arrives bragging about his big farm, car, and new piglets, and urges an immediate dash to the parsonage for the banns. Ulla hesitates at this crass haste, while the modest neighbor Pentti—gentle, musical, and poor—embodies the local spirit she secretly cherishes. When Suvonen insults her and storms off, Ulla first panics but then recognizes that she values warmth and poetry over money. Despite the father’s fury at losing a rich match, Ulla declares she will marry Pentti; after grumbling, the father relents. The play closes with the promise that Ulla and her father will teach Pentti “oorninki,” while Pentti brings joy and the Kannas’s enchantment into their home.
