520 _a"Määrän päässä : Kolminäytöksinen näytelmä" by Arvi A. Seppälä is a three-act play written in the early 20th century. It follows Dr. Alfred Sanmarck, a brilliant but obsessive chemist on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery, as his devotion to science corrodes his marriage to the restless Hilda, who drifts toward the charming painter Aarne Kartio. Jenny Kautto, a clear‑eyed typist with a past attachment to Kartio, becomes both witness and catalyst. The drama probes the clash between vocation and domestic life, pride and desire, and the peril of public gossip. The opening of the play situates us in Sanmarck’s Helsinki home and laboratory, where he and Dr. Tela work late, exulting over results that challenge the permanence of the elements and hint at eather’s reality. Sanmarck’s mother fusses over his health, while Hilda breezes in from art circles with a newly bought Kartio painting; a cutting argument about the picture exposes their deeper rift—her hunger for society and recognition versus his austere calling. Jenny quietly warns the mother of Hilda’s growing intimacy with Kartio, then confronts both lovers; despite misgivings, Hilda and Kartio go out to a masquerade. Alerted by Jenny and, under pressure, by the maid, Sanmarck follows; at the start of the second act he returns, having seen enough to confirm the betrayal, and speaks with bitter lucidity about being the man one marries—rather than the man one loves.
