What reading level is An Introduction to Dramatic Theory book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We can trace the merging of the one into the other very clearly in the giant person of Falstaff. Falstaff is a comic figure ; but, in Shakespeare's hands, he grows out of his world, and, ceasing to be a type, develops into a formal entity of his own. He is individualized, and so steps out of the bounds of comedy into the bounds of serious drama. It is this that accounts for the dissatisfaction we feel at the close of the second part of Henry IV. Had Falstaff remained a mere type as Pistol and B...ardolph are types, we should have felt no sorrow at his rejection ; but as Shakespeare has made H7 INTRODUCTION TO DRAMATIC THEORY him a personality and has treated him as if he had been a purely comic type we feel the incongruity of the situation, and for once are hardly inclined to accept without a murmur the words and the actions of the dramatist-creator.
