The play is a comedy of errors that follows the story of two young men, Charles Marlow and George Hastings, who are on a journey to meet the wealthy and eligible Miss Hardcastle and her cousin, Kate. However, when they arrive at their destination, they mistake a nearby inn for the Hardcastle estate and hilariously attempt to court the innkeeper's daughter, who they believe is Miss Hardcastle.The play features a range of memorable characters, including the bumbling and comical Tony Lumpkin, who is determined to sabotage his mother's plans for his marriage, and the witty and clever Kate Hardcastle, who takes matters into her own hands to ensure that true love prevails.Throughout the play, Goldsmith uses clever wordplay and situational humor to poke fun at the social conventions and pretensions of his time, making ""She Stoops to Conquer"" a timeless classic that continues to entertain audiences today.MISS HARDCASTLE. (Alone). Lud, this news of papa's puts me all in a flutter. Young, handsome: these he put last; but I put them foremost. Sensible, good-natured; I like all that. But then reserved and sheepish; that's much against him. Yet can't he be cured of his timidity, by being taught to be proud of his wife? Yes, and can't I--But I vow I'm disposing of the husband before I have secured the lover.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
