“She Stoops to Conquer” by Oliver Goldsmith reveals the different ways in which love and marriage were dealt with during the eighteenth century. The literature reflects in an accurate way the social mores and the marriage conventions and romantic love. The play emphasizes that marriage is represented as an institution completely detached from love and seems to pursue more than anything the social and economic gains that come from marriage, as well as the fact that those engaging in marriage are strangers. In the eighteenth century love is often not connected to the institution of marriage. Men in the eighteenth century had much more freedom in the institution of marriage.
