Torpparit : 3-näytöksinen näytelmä by Urho Wiljo Walakorpi
"Torpparit : 3-näytöksinen näytelmä by Urho Wiljo Walakorpi" is a three-act social drama written in the early 20th century. It depicts rural tenant farmers facing eviction under a capricious manor owner, focusing on class injustice, precarious tenancy, and the awakening of collective resolve. The play follows two tenant families—Matti and Liisa, and Pekka and Anna—whose modest hopes are shattered when the manor owner Kuusela expels Pekka and then, when Matti seeks a
formal lease, evicts him too. In the manor scene, the clerk Marttila challenges Kuusela’s cruelty and resigns in protest. Back home, the wives wait anxiously; the men return with the worst news, and despair deepens before turning into quiet defiance as Liisa’s hopeful vision of a just future rekindles their spirits. Marttila arrives to encourage them, framing their suffering within a broader struggle for rights and dignity, and the drama ends on a note of solidarity and emerging social consciousness.
