| Summary | "Valtioviisas kannunvalaja: Viisinäytöksinen komedia" by Ludvig Holberg is a comedic play written in the early 18th century. The story revolves around Herman Bremeniläinen, a cannon maker who has aspirations of becoming a member of the political elite in his town. The play explores themes of ambition, social status, and the comedic struggles of its characters, particularly in their interactions regarding courtship and political aspirations. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Antonius, a wheelwright who nervously prepares to ask Herman for his daughter Engelke's hand in marriage. Despite his reluctance and fears of rejection, he is determined to express his feelings directly. Meanwhile, Herman is depicted as overly ambitious and consumed with thoughts of ascending the political ladder, believing that studying political texts and aspiring to higher positions will elevate his status beyond that of a mere craftsman. The comical dynamics among the characters, particularly in their attempts to navigate social interactions and the absurdity of Herman's aspirations, set the tone for the unfolding comedic elements of the play.
