Seven Brothers (Finnish: Seitsemän veljestä) is a 1870 novel by Aleksis Kivi, a story about the seven brothers of Jukola, a house near the fictional village of Toukola in 19th century Finland.The story begins as the brothers, their parents now dead, decide to try and become proper people and take responsibility of their lives to their own hands. They face difficulties in the society, and when finally fed up, they build a new home in Impivaara, in the middle of the wilderness, to live in isolation. During the ten years there, however, the brothers find that peaceful and sustainable life still evades them. Eventually they try to fix their ways again with renewed motivation. Through hard work they repair their social standing and reputation and learn to read. Six of the seven get married and some achieve respectable public positions, and all proceed to lead mostly stable, peaceful lives.The main characters, the seven brothers, have individual traits which can be described by the following tropes: Juhani: The Leader, naturally since he is the eldest brother, but also agreed upon explicitly. Hair-Trigger Temper, but fortunately lends an ear to his more level-headed brothers, particularly Aapo. Aapo: The Smart Guy, often The Face, and also The Storyteller. Tuomas: The Big Guy, although all brothers are strong build. Simeoni: Token Religious Teammate. While all brothers are Christian, Simeoni takes it more seriously. Timo: The Ditz of the group, Literal-Minded. Lauri: The Quiet One, preferring solitary activities and sticking to his decisions. Eero: The Gadfly who likes to tease his older brothers.The work is regarded as the first novel in Finnish language, and it paved way for Finnish literature and realistic portrayal of Finnish people. As an important piece of national identity, the novel is still required school reading in Finnish secondary level education. It is now a public domain work, and various translations are currently available here.Unrelated to the movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. | |

Proverbial Wisdom | |
| Seven Brothers / int_111f14e | comment |
Proverbial Wisdom: Inverted. Timo tends to use lots of proverbs, but their relevancy and helpfulness is questionable at best. The Narrator describes a drunken argument where Timo enrages Juhani by arguing persistently with "proverbs, Bible verses, and lame parables". | |

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: After the brothers have begun farming, and making their own spirits from the grain (and drinking it), Simeoni and Eero are sent to the city to sell rye and spirits and buy high-quality food and drink so that the brothers can properly celebrate Michaelmas. They return over a week later, empty-handed, with all the money wasted on more liquor and pastries in the city, and with their horse suffering from lack of food. | |

Real Dreams are Weirder: Juhani recalls a dream he had, about seven eggs in a nest. The cock and hen died, the nest was attacked by rodents and the eggs were broken... and then the brothers themselves made scrambled eggs of the mess and ate it with pleasure, at which point Simeoni stops trying to interpret the dream. | |

Repeat After Me: When the excited brothers believe they're being stalked by a real troll in the nightly woods, they want to banish it, and Simeoni whispers some exorcising words into Juhani's ear to shout. When Simeoni says that the troll shows no reaction, Juhani repeats that too, though stops halfway as he catches on. | |

In the short childhood Flashback, where the brothers hide from punishment in the forest for days, sustained by stolen food, there are some efficient introductions: Juhani is carefree and enjoys the moment, though he knows what's coming at them, and dominates the discussion. Aapo is shown to be conciliatory and thinking ahead. Lauri, meanwhile, is quietly doing his own thing while the others chat. | |

Beware the Quiet Ones: Lauri. In the last brawl with Toukola men toward the end of the story, Lauri is described as the most fierce fighter, "pale as an angel of death", that no one can stand up to. Later, his wife also experiences that while the man can take a lot of nagging, his patience can give out, and then it is better to hide. | |

Aapo is shown to be conciliatory and thinking ahead. Lauri, meanwhile, is quietly doing his own thing while the others chat. The first Disproportionate Retribution example for Juhani. Tuomas ultimately shows his lawfulness in that he is ready to throw the drunken Lauri down to the bulls, once Juhani says the word. Even Juhani himself is immediately shocked and joins the struggle to save Lauri. Tuomas is also one brother that Lauri actually said he likes in his drunken rant, so it's nothing personal, though Tuomas is clearly annoyed by Lauri's behaviour in general. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Juhani cites a legend which says that eating a certain legendary snake under the right conditions will allow a man to know his future. Eero adds that a variation of the ritual allows a man to know his past. Juhani dismisses this as childish and stupid, since that knowledge is obvious to anyone. Aapo notes that, although Eero was probably only jesting again, there is actually wisdom in there. | |

Didn't Think This Through: When the brothers fell forest and burn it to make new farmland, they decide to do it on their own, without informing any owners of the neighboring lands. The fire gets out of control, and they have their hands full in preventing a full-blown forest fire. Timo finds a wolf caught in the brothers' trap pit, and decides to surprise the others with the catch. Timo puts ladders in the pit, and standing on them tries to club the wolf to death. However, the wolf evades him, and he has to fetch the others to help. The armed brothers arrive, but find no wolf in the pit, only the ladders left by Timo. | |

Forgiveness | |
| Seven Brothers / int_b75b35ac | comment |
Forgiveness: Part of how the major conflicts are eventually solved. The local lay judge ensures that no court case is raised of the great fight at the auction, knowing the brothers are not solely at fault. The vicar, who initially was stern to get the brothers literate, eventually decides not to bother the brothers anymore, realizing it is a wasted and harmful effort, which leads the brothers to happily take the learning into their own hands. The church warden helps the brothers make peace with the Toukola men, ending their Cycle of Revenge. | |

In the epilogue part of the story, when rain starts pouring down on Juhani working in the field, he shouts upwards whether they're only now spreading dung in heaven's fields when he's already harvesting the crop. | |

Nested Story: Aapo is often asked to tell stories to the others, and these are then told by The Narrator. The tales are often chilling in nature. | |

TakingAThirdOption | |
| Seven Brothers / int_c222dde4 | comment |
Taking a Third Option: When cornered on the rock by the angry bulls of Viertola estate, the brothers gradually lose their hope, since the bulls won't leave, and their cries for help are not heard. They face death by starvation if they stay on the rock, or death by mauling if they try to climb down. Finally it occurs to the brothers that they possess enough ammunition to kill every one of the animals. | |

Settling the Frontier: Although the brothers' new Impivaara home is situated on Jukola property and not too far from civilization, they effectively live separated from others. Toward the end of the story, they turn vast areas of forest into farmland around the house. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Seven Brothers / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: In the beginning, The Narrator tells that prior to the book's events, when the lands were redistributed in the great partition, the farsighted founder of the Jukola farm had agreed to take a burnt-down forest, and this way had received more land than others. Seven times more, to be exact. The land is normal forest again when the brothers' story begins. | |

Just Following Orders: Several cases, when Juhani as The Leader commands. Tuomas is ready to kill Lauri for raising trouble on the brothers' narrow rock refuge. Timo's defence for heating the sauna so hot that it burns down during the night. Eero uses this justification for casting some ale onto the hot stones in the sauna, although Aapo and especially Tuomas are against it. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Timo wonders how can the others believe Aapo's story about a fox and a bear, because animals can't talk. Juhani then explains to him that the story originates from an older time, when animals still could. When Simeoni shares his alcohol-induced revelation, which includes reading the Devil's personal greetings on a piece of leather, Juhani in particular gets anxious about this story, but Timo comments on that Simeoni has learned to read during the journey. | |
