The only play by the Danish writer Martin Andersen Nexo, "The Daangard People" deals with the peasant issue, previously addressed in some of his short stories and tales. Although certain naturalistic elements can be identified in the play, which the presented family plot leads to, the socialist influence is visible, the play can easily be affiliated with proletarian literature. At the center of the creation is the life of the Danish peasantry, and its struggle against the difficult conditions of existence is outlined by the conflict between Mrs. Bohn and Per-Beggar. The inhabitants of the Daangard farm have the intuition of the changes that are occurring. However, Mrs. Bohn fights for the right of mistress that she considers "eternal and legitimate". In the end, she understands that there is no escape and makes the decision that leads to the end of the drama: she kills her son, then commits suicide.
