2,pdng Phy She Stoops To Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith Some of you may remember the "Soup and Sandwich" jingle sung in Campbell's commercialsafew years ago. Actually, the tune goes back even further, originally sung as "love and marriage, love and marriage ... can't have one without the other . . love and marriage go together." Though love and marriage don't always"go together," the concept remains legitimate. Apparently Goldsmith thought so, too. Parental arrangement of marriages for finaicial or social reasons was still being practiced in England. This combined with other factors contributed to an unusually high social acceptance of love outside of marriage. Though certainly not the play's predominant focus, this situation is addressed. The couple embodying the subplot — Hastings and Constance — are willing to marry without the family jewels. Likewise, main characters Kate and Marlowe ultimately decide to "ti the knot" because of what they hay discovered in each other rather tha for name or rank. Marlowe rises to her status when he declares he would giv up the high-class arranged marriage order to marry "the maid." You ca almost hear Goldsmith whistling "can have one without the other . .. by and marriage go together." by Rebecca Bak( The Cast Kate Hardcastle . .. . Robbin D. Dane Young Marlow David S.
