Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Karkurit" by Aleksis Kivi is a play in five acts written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around a tangled web of relationships and conflicts between various characters, primarily set against the backdrop of 19th century Finnish society. Key characters include Elma and Tykko, who appear to be entangled in a love story disrupted by familial obligations, societal pressures, and rivalries rooted in longstanding animosities between their families. At the start of the play, we meet Elma and Hanna, who are navigating through a forested area, reflecting on their connection to home and expressing concern over Elma's feelings for Tykko, who is absent due to war. The dialogue hints at tensions arising from familial expectations and rivalries, with Elma distressed over her feelings for Tykko and potential suitor Niilo's intentions. The arrival of a mysterious old woman who prophesies Elma’s fortune adds an element of the supernatural, creating anticipation regarding her fate and the fateful decisions that lie ahead. The opening sets up a dramatic exploration of love, duty, and betrayal, leading to a series of conflicts that will unfold as the characters confront their intertwined destinies.
