What reading level is Nero book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here's what I feared!
TIGELLINUS. His eyes now! Yet how calm! So steals the panther, stirring not a leaf!
[_Exeunt slowly_ SENECA, TIGELLINUS, _and_ BURRUS. NERO _walks to and fro, constructing the scene in pantomime to himself_. LOCUSTA _enters down, right_.
NERO. You are Locusta, and your trade is poison.
[_She makes obeisance. _ [_Uneasily. _] Is poison but a trade with you, or art? Surely to slay is the supreme of arts; And with no ugly wound or hideous blow, But beautifully to exti...nguish life. Have you some rare drug that kills suddenly? As I have planned it, I can have no pause-- Death must be sudden--silent. And my guests Must not be wearied with a pang prolonged, And there must be no cry. That understand.
[LOCUSTA, _grovelling at his feet_.
LOCUSTA. O Caesar, such a drug is known to me, -- But I will not reveal it.
NERO. Die then.
LOCUSTA. Die? O, I love life, but this I'll not reveal.
NERO. Ah, you must live--you are an artist too.
