| Summary | "Der Landjunker: Lustspiel in fünf Aufzügen" by Denis Von-Wisin is a comedy written in the late 18th century. The play presents a satirical view of Russian gentry life, exposing the absurdities and flaws in their characters as it unfolds through the everyday occurrences of a rural household. The main characters include Prostakow, his domineering wife Frau Prostakowa, their son Mitrofan, and Starodum, Sophie’s uncle, who becomes pivotal in the unfolding narrative. The opening of the play introduces us to the Prostakow family as they prepare for an engagement, highlighting the dysfunction in their relationships and the struggles of young Mitrofan. Frau Prostakowa berates Trischka, the tailor, for making her son's suit too tight, revealing her overbearing personality, while prostakow struggles to assert himself against her wrath. Amidst the comedic bickering and chaos, we learn about Sophie, a young woman living under the care of the Prostakows, whose situation becomes more complicated with the return of her uncle Starodum, suggesting impending tensions regarding her future. The dialogue showcases the humorous dynamics among the characters, setting the stage for the conflicts and commentary on social norms that will follow in this lively satire of Russian aristocracy.
