Summary "Свет" by Branislav Nušić is a comedy written in the early 20th century. The play explores the lives of a retired official, Toma Milentijević, his family, and their interactions with friends and acquaintances as they adjust to the societal expectations surrounding them. The focus is on the humorous absurdities faced by Toma and his family as they navigate their mundane, routine life while confronted with societal norms, particularly regarding the marriage prospects of their daughter, Nada. At the start of the play, the scene is set in the living room of Toma's home, filled with ordinary furniture and a vintage clock indicating the passage of time. Toma, who has just woken from a nap, discusses the clock's unreliability with his daughter, Jelkiça, before being joined by Nada and Sima, a family friend. They engage in light banter about politics and leisure activities that retirees should partake in, highlighting Toma's preference for a peaceful life over engaging with the outside world. As this comedic setup unfolds, it becomes clear that Toma is resistant to change, setting the stage for the family's conflicts with societal pressures regarding Nada's future and the entertaining dynamics of family life in that era.
