| Summary | "Pekan naimapuuhat: Pilakuvaus" by Aira is a comedic play written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1910. This work explores themes of love, literacy, and marriage within a rural Finnish community. The narrative centers around the character Pekka, an uneducated laborer who wishes to marry Anni, a servant girl, but faces obstacles due to his lack of reading skills, which is necessary for procuring a marriage license from the pastor. The story unfolds in the pastor's study, where Risto informs the pastor about Pekka and Anni's intentions to marry. Throughout the play, humorous interactions occur as Pekka struggles to read aloud in the presence of the pastor while Anni and Risto attempt to aid him. Despite their efforts, the pastor insists that Pekka must learn to read before he can marry Anni. As the play progresses, Pekka's endearing yet bumbling attempts at literacy highlight both his desire for love and the societal norms of education. Ultimately, the play concludes with the pastor relenting, allowing Pekka and Anni to marry, illustrating the transformative power of love and the value of education.
