Title Hanna
Credits Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Hanna" by Minna Canth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young girl named Hanna, dealing with the struggles of her family life, especially influenced by her father's alcoholism and its effects on her mother. The narrative delves into themes of childhood innocence, family dynamics, and the impacts of societal issues on personal lives. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to young Hanna who is experiencing a nightmare about a large black dog while in her dark children's room. Distraught and unable to return to sleep, she worries about her brother Jussi and her father's behavior, illustrating a tense family environment. As Hanna wishes for calmness and comfort from her caring mother, the story unfolds to reveal the implications of her father’s drinking habits, leading to domestic turmoil that Hanna witnesses firsthand. Her innocence clashes with the harsh reality of her home, setting the stage for her emotional journey throughout the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
