Question 7
OLIVER GOLDSMITH: She Stoops to Conquer
Discuss the view that Tony is to blame for the failure of Hastings’ plan to elope with Constance.
Observation
This was another unpopular question. Candidates’ answers were not detailed as they lacked the ability to express themselves clearly.
The required answers should include:
- Statement of the central theme of love and marriage in a middle/upper class society.
- Character identification.
- The plan to elope.
- The attempt to elope.
- Tony’s remedy.
Candidates’ performance in the question was poor.
