Question

1. What was Goldsmith's strength?
2. Whom did Goldsmith attempt to emulate?
3.
What element is brought out in this anecdote?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Oliver Goldsmith has written many quotes about Strength. E.g., Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.

2.Mrs. Hardcastle perhaps speaks to Goldsmith's own concern over the ending when she remarks that "this is all but the whining end of a modern novel." It is clear from both the prologue and his "Essay on the Theatre" that he wishes to write a play that mocks vice rather than praises virtue.

3.Character. This is so important, because unless your reader feels something for the characters, they won't care what happens to them, and they won't read on.
