Stoops To Conquer Makes The Play
1,681 wordsShe Stoops to Conquer is a comedy play written by Oliver Goldsmith. It has been loved since it was written. When it was first performed, some people did not approve of it as it attacked the normal sort of play style at the time, which was sentimental comedy. Personally I think the play is very whimsical and funny both on stage acted and just the words used. Sentimental comedy involved characters to be very typical, for example, the heroine was shy and romantic, the hero was brave and bold, and r...
