Funny+Parts?

This play is certainly a true comedy--it makes the readers laugh (at least I found myself chucking at times!) That is probably the reason why I enjoyed reading "She Stoops to Conquer" so much. The characters were dynamic and likeable; I could not help but note some of the witty sayings throughout the play:

Miss Hardcastle: "A reserved lover, it is said, always makes a suspicious husband." (p. 8 of my edition. Sorry the pages are off!) --I found this witty because there is some truth in her statement, I am sure. If a lover is reserved in merely being acquainted with someone, how will spending the rest of your life with that person be? Boring.

(Speaking to Hastings and Marlow) Tony: "The first thing I have to inform you is, that--you have lost your way" (13). --It was obvious that the men had lost their way. I just found it funny that Tony stated the obvious in such a blunt way. It was comical.

Miss Neville: "O lud! he has almost cracked my head." Mrs. Hardcastle: "O, the monster! For shame, Tony. You a man, and behave so!" Tony: "If I'm a man, let me have my fortin" (35). --This dialogue was funny in nature, Tony and Miss Neville bumping heads. I also think Tony's response was quick and witty.

Miss Hardcastle: "O! sir, I must not tell my age. They say women and music should never be dated" (48). --Touche.

Anyways, I immensely enjoyed this play. It was comical and light-hearted. Does anyone else have any particular parts that they found witty/funny? Or any other interpretations of mine? Do share :) 1203171001
