S May 15 1916 was a Ukrainian poet writer social and literary critic journalist interpreter economist political activist doctor of philosophy ethnographer and the author of the first detective novels and modern poetry in the Ukrainian language 1878 Ivan Franko Ukradene shhastja I feel guilty about this rating Ivan Franco is a giant of classic Ukrainian literature not to mention a politician and an activist for the rights and independence of Ukrainians back in the 1900 s He s admired and studied in every school program and his portrait often hangs in every Ukrainian house This story or okay rather felt ok to me It wasn t bad or great or even good It was just ok so despite my itch to up one star just because it s Ivan Franco I ll have to find a way to love with myself and give the story the rating it not its author deserves Characters 3Solid but plain characters We have 3 main ones whom we follow through the entire story s ups and downs In essence a wife a husband she does not love and a ex boyfriend whom she does love No spoilers here we find this out right in the beginning There really is no character development there is no room for it The play is rather on a short end so it follows the plot so then the characters Plot 3Now if you were reading the descriptions of the characters above you might have thought to yourself Well Roman this sounds kind of like a soapy novella You would be right That is exactly what this story is only it does not go on for 56 seasons I don t think they ve invented series back then yet Thankfully Some pretty good emotional twists but once again it moves fast and furious so really not a whole lot of depth Good overall some eyebrow raising moment to be sure but I think the shortness of it took away from the overall effect Maybe it s just me as I am not used to reading plays First play I ve read in just about 5 years maybe Yes I know I knowShakespear blah blah Mindblow I do not like Shakespear Maybe one day I ll grow up widen up and discover greatness I ve been missing all this time For now thoughSetting 4This was the most interesting part of the story for me that kept me reading Since I am a Ukrainian myself it was immensely interesting to read about how my people lived thought communicated back in the early 1900 s The amount of male chauvinism in this work is shocking I had to re read many passage just to be sure I had read it right the first time around Stuff along the lines of needing to beat your wife so that she doesn t turn lazy Yep I bet that raised an eyebrow didn t it One of many I guess that s the cultural background of a rural community back then and a big culture shock for me today Nonetheless makes it even interesting to read since I had no idea what to expect next Overall if you re not a Ukrainian or of Ukrainian heritage I don t see a compelling reason for you to read this play If you re very curious or want to pay your tribute to Franco by all means go ahead it s short and won t take too much time Otherwise I d say move along down your reading list Roman Ragnar 3
