As far as the age of its characters, "She Stoops to Conquer" has a lot to do with coming of age in a legal sense. Constance must come legally of age before she can take over her inheritance; Tony must come of age before he can collect his yearly allowance. Social status was everything, thus, we see Dorothy Hardcastle desperately attempting to retain control over her niece's fortune by marrying the minor into her immediate family.
