| Summary | "Kihlajaiskemut" by Robert Kiljander is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around an upper-class family and their social interactions during a significant engagement celebration, involving numerous characters such as the central figure, Assessor Vilander, and his family members, including his wife Amelie and their daughter Bertha. The play appears to explore themes of social status, personal relationships, and the complexities of love and duty within the societal expectations of the time. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the setting of Vilander's elegantly decorated home in Helsinki, where preparations for the engagement party are underway. The opening scenes feature conversations among the household staff and guests, hinting at underlying tensions and relationship troubles, particularly concerning the romantic connections between the younger characters, Miili and Käki, as well as Bertha and Hamari. As Vilander deals with both personal and professional pressures, including financial troubles hinted at through various discussions, the stage is set for the unfolding drama that will combine celebration with the challenges of human emotions and societal expectations.
