Summary "Viinantehtailia" by Theodolinda Hahnsson is a play in two acts written during the late 19th century. This theatrical piece delves into the moral and social implications of alcohol production and consumption within a community, shedding light on the consequences that arise from the protagonist's profession as a distiller. The work explores themes of guilt, responsibility, and the clash between personal gain and societal well-being. The story revolves around Hoikka, a winemaker who relishes his financial success while his family grapples with the societal effects of his trade. The narrative unfolds as Hoikka’s wife expresses concern over the moral aspects of their wealth derived from alcohol, while their son Alfred navigates his own challenges, deeply influenced by his father's profession. As the plot develops, Jukka, a former acquaintance of Hoikka, enters the narrative, serving as a human emblem of the tragic consequences of alcoholism, particularly as he recounts his struggles and losses. Ultimately, the play culminates in a poignant reflection on the damaging impact of the distillery on both individuals and families, culminating in a critical confrontation with the moral responsibilities of those in the alcohol trade.
