Question 8


OLIVER GOLDSMITH: She Stoops to Conquer

Discuss the information provided by Act 1, Scene 1 and how it advances the plot of the play.


Observation

 

 

This was not a popular question. Candidates who attempted this question gave very scanty narration and failed to discuss the theme of marriage in a middle/upper class society.

The required answers should include:


  • Statement of the central theme of love and marriage in a middle/upper class society.

  • Introduction of characters and their relationship.

  • Information on the characters.

  • Implication on the advancement of the plot.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
