"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, asthe festivities unfold, tension arises, particularly with the appearance of Homsantuu, a troubled young woman who complicates the celebration.
