Question 7

     

    OLIVER GOLDSMITH: She Stoops to Conquer

    Consider the attitude of Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle towards Tony Lumpkin.


Observation

 

This was a popular question. However, many candidates failed to mention that both Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle  viewed him differently.

The required answers should include:

  • The relationship between husband and wife and their treatment of their step-son and son.
  • The attitude of Mr. Hardcastle towards Tony.
  • The attitude of Mrs. Hardcastle towards Tony.
  • Tony’s contribution towards his treatment by both Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle.
  • The couple’s individual regard for Tony as he is.

 

Candidates’ performance in the question was fair.
