She Stoops to Conquer
She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith is a celebrated 18th-century comedy of manners that masterfully intertwines romance, humor, and satire. The play revolves around the schemes and misunderstandings that arise when young Charles Marlow, awkward around high-born women but confident with those of lower status, mistakes the home of his intended bride, Kate Hardcastle, for an inn. Taking advantage of the confusion, Kate pretends to be a barmaid to win his affection in her own clever way. With its engaging plot, sharp wit, and commentary on social conventions, the play remains a timeless exploration of love, identity, and the follies of human behavior.-
