Project Gutenberg 1995-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 2149 Goldsmith, Oliver 1774 Goldsmit, Oliver She Stoops to Conquer; Or, The Mistakes of a Night: A Comedy G. R. Young and David Widger "She Stoops to Conquer; Or, The Mistakes of a Night: A Comedy" by Oliver Goldsmith is a comedic play written during the late 18th century. The plot revolves around a series of misunderstandings and mistaken identities, particularly focusing on the interactions between the characters Young Marlow, who is shy around respectable women, and Miss Hardcastle, who finds herself in the midst of a confusing courtship. This comedy of errors also features a variety of humorous and eccentric characters, including the mischievous Tony Lumpkin, who complicates matters with his pranks. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle, who discuss their son Tony and the arrival of a young gentleman, Mr. Marlow, whom they hope will be a suitable match for their daughter, Kate. However, it quickly becomes evident that Marlow's shyness with respectable women is a source of comedy as he approaches interactions awkwardly, unable to communicate properly. Meanwhile, Tony devises a scheme to trick his family and others, setting the stage for a night filled with humorous misunderstandings. As the characters navigate their relationships and the ensuing chaos, the play promises an entertaining exploration of social norms and romantic pursuits in a comedic light.
