Discuss the view that Tony is to blame for the failure of Hastings’ plan to elope with Constance.
In "She Stoops to Conquer," Tony is responsible for the failure of Hastings' plan to elope with Constance. Tony mistakenly sends Hastings and Marlow to the Hardcastle house, thinking it is an inn, and then lies to them about the true identity of the house. This causes a series of misunderstandings that result in Hastings' plan falling apart. Tony is also responsible for convincing Constance to wear a dress that makes her unrecognizable to Hastings, further complicating the situation. While other characters, such as Mrs. Hardcastle and Marlow, contribute to the confusion, Tony's actions ultimately prevent the elopement from occurring.
