Summary "Avioelämää 1: Kaksitoista kertomusta avioelämästä" by August Strindberg is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the complexities of marriage and relationships, exploring themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and individual struggles within the institution of marriage. Strindberg presents a realistic portrayal of the lives and thoughts of both men and women, reflecting on their dynamics and conflicts. The opening portion introduces the author and the literary backdrop, where a dialogue takes place between a speaker and the author about the nature of the newly written work. The conversation hints at Strindberg’s reflections on the traditional views of marriage and the evolving woman’s rights, suggesting that the collection will present various narratives on the domestic sphere, focusing on ordinary situations and moral dilemmas faced by couples. There are elements of critique against the romanticized depictions in literature, as Strindberg aims for a more authentic representation of marital life, signifying a departure from idealized notions prevalent in earlier works.
