Question 7

    OLIVER GOLDSMITH: She Stoops to Conquer

    Discuss the significance of night to the play.


Observation

 

A good number of candidates attempted this question. However, a few could not relate the characters using the night effect and why characters behaved in that manner.

The required answers should include:

  • Night not only aspect of time or setting.
  • Significance in the Marlow/Kate relationship.
  • Significance of night in the ensuring attempt to transfer Constance to Aunt Pedigree.
  • Night engendering the other title of the play.

 

Candidates’ performance in the question was good.
