Summary "Viimeinen ponnistus" by Matti Kurikka is a drama in four acts written in the late 19th century. Set in Ingria during a time of societal tension, the play explores the struggles of serfs against aristocratic oppression, focusing on the themes of freedom, class conflict, and personal relationships. Key characters include Andrei, a serf seeking acceptance and love, and Roponen, a landowner striving for the rights of his people. The opening of the play introduces the setting, a communal space where various characters, both young and old, gather amid laughter, singing, and light-hearted banter. As they engage in conversations about societal norms and relationships, we meet Anni, the young woman torn between love for Andrei and her father's expectations, highlighting the class distinctions that complicate their romance. Additionally, discussions arise concerning the impending emancipation of serfs, igniting hopes and fears among the community. A mysterious woman, Audotja, enters, hinting at deeper connections and conflicts that will unfold as the story progresses. This opening sets a vibrant and poignant tone, establishing the central conflict of yearning for freedom and the complexities of personal loyalties against a backdrop of societal change.
