What reading level is Character And Characteristic Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The moral, if moral it have, is that the Amelias of the world, with all their simplicity and ignorance, wiU, in the long run, succeed better than the Becky Sharps, with all their evil knowledge and selfish acuteness. Amelia is evidently as much the favorite of the author's heart as Becky is of his brain, and he has expended nearly as much skill in the delinea- 210 THACKEEAY.
^tion of the one as of the other. The public, how- ever, was prepared for the first, but the second took it by surprise. ...It was the most original female char- acter of its kind that had appeared in contemporary fiction, and the raciness and never-faltering courage with which the character was developed, through all the phases of her career, seemed an insult to the sex. " Cynic ! " cried the ladies. The truth, in this case, was the cause of offence. The Sharps wisely held their tongues, and left the denial of the possi- bility of such a woman to those who had happily never made her acquaintance. Thackeray had evi- dently seen her, and seen also ,the Marquis of Steyne.
