She Stoops to Conquer by OliverGoldsmith is set in the eighteenth century in an English country mansion called Hardcastle, about sixty miles away from London. The action lasts for a single night and includes several funny and lighthearted mishaps and miscommunications scenes. The title is smart and appropriate, and covers the key concepts of the play. It is a elegant title of the 18th century, with a sense of mystery created when apparently opposite images are balanced and juxtaposed: stooping and conquering. It questions how a person can conquer by stooping and reveals as such that power manifests in various forms. The title may also be' critically justified' to emphasize how much we respond to people as to their external status rather than their inner selves.
Explanation:
- The key theme of this play is appearance versus fact, but as is popular in the literature, it becomes a question of how it can be articulated in She Stoops to Conquer. What Goldsmith is studying in play is how we can not be socially relevant and how detrimental this can be. For example, Marlow, the character that Kate "stoops to conquer, becomes another person based on the social background in which he is engaging. He is embarrassingly passive, incompetent, and clearly ignorant about those who are his equals. However, he is brave and optimistic among the lower class, such as innkeepers and barmaids. This is for laughter: in some cases, we all know someone who is reduced to mass of inarticulate stammering when he or she takes on another role.
- Kate Hardcastle is a woman who knows and understands what she wants. In the way she can alter identities, we find proof of it. When she is with her father she dresses as he wants and obeys him wholeheartedly. However, she can also interact freely with him and surely she does not behave like a timid man worshiping or submissive.
- Marlow, The hero of a play, Ostensibly. A decent boy who comes to Kate Hardcastle's house. Being a strange contradictory persona, he is mortified to speak to some' modest' lady, but he is lively and entertaining to converse with barmaids.
- Kate "stoops to conquer" Marlow by pretending to be a servant. Since he cannot talk to women of his own class, through conversation she cannot get to know him and receive his love. Thus, she wants to pretend to be a maid, and she will know Marlow in that capacity who is very capable to speak to women from the lower classes openly and even vulgarly. She disguises herself and talks to him to win, exposing her true identity only at a later stage. So she "stoops to conquer" to a maid's place, "when she gets his hand in marriage," to "conquer." This disguise is one of the "mistakes of a night" as Marlow "mistakes" Kate for the maid she pretends to be
- She stoops to conquer by Oliver Goldsmith, a comedy of manners, satirizes the hypocrisy and lowliness of the high-class figures. In order to satirize English preoccupation and class differences, Goldsmith specifically used the character of Charles Marlow, son of Mr. Hardcastle's old friend.
