Kun. Ramutis

maleFirst seen chapter 38Last seen chapter 47

Appointed as the successor to Stripaitis in the association, unknown to the klebon and Vasaris. Ramutis imposes a rigorous daily timetable on Vasaris, critiques his erotic poetry and pushes him toward religious subjects. Ramutis is portrayed as a priest with limited ambition, unlikely to receive a parish, and subject to criticism by Pralotas Girvydas. Ramutis observes Vasaris' moral decline and notes his growing inner turmoil. Ramutis dedicates himself to catechizing children, values this mission highly, and had a serious quarrel with Klebonas over the provision of candles for services.
