| Summary | "Työmiehen vaimo" by Minna Canth is a play written in the late 19th century. The drama explores themes of marriage, gender roles, and social class through the experiences of its central character, Johanna, who navigates the challenges of her new life as a wife amidst societal expectations and personal conflicts. At the start of the play, Johanna is preparing for her wedding alongside friends and family, highlighting the celebratory atmosphere. However, as the festivities unfold, tension arises, particularly with the appearance of Homsantuu, a troubled young woman who complicates the celebration. Risto, Johanna's husband, is drawn into a confrontation with Homsantuu, exposing his character flaws and the underlying issues in his relationship with Johanna. The opening scenes set the stage for a conflict that suggests deeper societal critiques, drawing attention to the struggles of women in a patriarchy while foreshadowing the rocky dynamics of Johanna's marriage.
