The book "Don Ranudo de Colibrados eli Köyhyys ja Ylpeys: A Comedy in Five Acts" by Ludwig Holberg is a play that poignantly and humorously reflects the issues of social status, pride and self-confidence. The action takes place in the conditions of a twisted world, where the main character, deprived of material goods, tries to remain confident in his own importance and high status. The author masterfully uses irony and satire, revealing the flaws and absurdity of the hero. Through lively dialogue and interesting vicissitudes, the play reveals important moral lessons to the reader and allows a critical look at social stereotypes.
