With richly drawn characters like her groom Vihtori and their families, the play offers a nuanced portrayal of relationships and cultural values. Ideal for students and historians, "Elinan häät" serves as a vital exploration of Finnish identity and social change, making it a compelling read for those interested in early 20th-century drama.
