| Summary |
"Tuhkapöperö: Kuvaus 4:ssä Kohtauksessa" by Jacob Fredrik Lagervall is a dramatic work written in the mid-19th century. This play is based on the classic Cinderella tale, reimagining it within a Finnish cultural context. The storyline centers on the themes of social standing, injustice, and the triumph of the underdog. The narrative focuses on the character Pöperö, a servant girl treated poorly by her stepmother and stepsisters, who symbolize the oppressed and marginalized in society. Throughout the play, Pöperö is depicted as persevering under duress, longing for recognition and love. The arrival of Kersko, a charming suitor looking for a bride, adds a layer of romantic tension and conflict, particularly when the stepsisters attempt to win his favor. Ultimately, the play encapsulates the struggle for dignity and the hope for a brighter future, suggesting that true beauty and virtue transcend social hierarchies.
