The main title of the play, which is She Stoops to Conquer, refers to the trick of its heroine to conquer
her lover by stooping to play the role of a barmaid and after that the role of a poor relation to the
Hradcastle's family. 'She' in the title refers to the heroine, Kate, who is a daughter of a rich man from the
upper-middle class. Here she is stooping by playing the role of a barmaid. Actually, 'Stoops' is the main
action in the play that the heroine stoops to win the hero over emotionally and to gain his heart and his
love to make his love her.

playing the two roles: a barmaid and a poor relative to the family. Actually, she succeeds at the end of
the play to conquer the hero's heart by doing so. In fact, there is a real need to stooping here because
Marlow, the hero, has a problem in his personality that he is shy in front of ladies of higher classes.

courageous to talk to her as a lady. In this way, she gams his love and, at the same time, she helps him
to overcome his personality problem.
