What reading level is A book of Plays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To come, behind the horses of delight, Not to Achilles — but to grief and horror!
And now beside this melancholy sea I live my days — lonely, no love, no friends, Wife of no man and "mother of no child.
I know no home. I sing no Argive song With Argive women to the Queen of Heaven.
I weave upon the whirring loom no tale Of Pallas routing Titans . . . O, instead, I see an altar stained with bloody death.
I hear the cry for pity and the moans Of men — a woe too hideous to be told.
Yet even that i...s little to me now — Now that a throne is empty and his eyes Are past all weeping, as I wish mine were.
For I who loved Orestes all those years Shall never see him now but as I left him, A little baby at his mother's breast — I who had thought to see him as a King.
The Second Maiden.
Look ! — from the beach a herdsman comes to thee, Comes like a man with news!
Herdsman.
(Arriving breathless) O daughter of the house of Agamemnon, l8o IPHIGENIA IN TAURIS I- have a thing to tell !
Iphigenia.
