What reading level is Corneille book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Loy- alty to one's husband or one's lover means disloyalty to one's native land.
To avoid needless bloodshed, it is CORNEILLE agreed that the dispute shall be set- tled by a combat between six chosen warriors, three for Rome, three for Albe. The defenders of Rome are Horace and his brothers; the de- fenders of the cause of the mother city- are Curiace and his brothers. There is a notable scene in the second act which shows Curiace and Horace in marked contrast The great Roman warrior has been t...old of his election to the high office of defender of his city.
He questions the wisdom of the choice, but is ravished at the thought that he is held worthy to take into his keeping the destinies of the state.
Flavian then enters, bringing the word to Curiace that he has been chosen to defend the cause of Albe. Curiace shudders at the thought of lifting his ^IIO-l- CORNEILLE hand against the brother of his be- trothed, against his sistefs husband.
To Horace, whose ecstasy of patri- otism has a touch of the barbaric in it, there is a higher virtue and a greater joy in the sacrifice of those whom one holds most dear to the good of the country.
