She Stoops to Conquer: Or, The Mistakes of a Night

“”She Stoops to Conquer”” is a classic comedy by Oliver Goldsmith that humorously addresses the themes of mistaken identity and social class. The play, set in the 18th century, follows Charles Marlow, a young man who is tricked into believing that the house of his potential fiancée is an inn. The ensuing misunderstandings and inappropriate behavior lead to comedic situations, as Marlow falls in love with Kate, thinking she is a maid, while his companion Hastings plans to elope with Constance Neville, a relative of the family. Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was an Anglo-Irish novelist, playwright, and poet, known for his novel “”The Vicar of Wakefield,”” his pastoral poem “”The Deserted Village,”” and his plays “”The Good-Natur’d Man”” and “”She Stoops to Conquer.”” His works are celebrated for their wit, satire, and insightful commentary on social class. —- ISBN: 9798332831782
