Explanation and Analysis—The Prologue :

The prologue of “She Stoops to Conquer” takes the form of a soliloquy, with Mr Woodward, a celebrated actor, entering and directly addressing the audience as he delivers a speech alone on the stage. By starting the play in this way, Goldsmith immediately fosters an intimacy with the audience while also separating the prologue from the rest of the play, with this and the play's epilogues being the only instances of soliloquy. This is fitting, as these are also the only instances where the audience is directly invoked in a breaking of the fourth wall that gives the play a meta-textual (referring to itself) element.
