They are proud of their status and look down upon the Smiths and other working-class families in the town. The Smiths, on the other hand, are hardworking and honest people who struggle to make ends meet. The plot of the play revolves around the romance between the Merton's daughter, Lady Edith, and the Smith's son, Tom.
