What reading level is Ethics of Speech in the Plays of William Wycherley book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . there's no difference betwixt a Wife and a Wench.
Flirt. Only in Cohabitation, for the first Article shall be Against Cohabitation; we Mistresses suffer no Cohabi- tation.
Monsieur. Nor Wives neither now.
Flirt. Then separate Maintenance, in case you shou'd take a Wife, or I a new Friend.
Monsieur. How.' that too? then you are every whit as bad as a Wife.
Flirt. Then my House in Town, and yours in the Country if you will.
Monsieur. A meer Wife.
Flirt. Then my Coach apart, as well as my Bed ...apart. (230).
89 Surrounded by such disjunction and disharmony, Gcrrard and Hippolita appear remarkably well matched. Wycherley neatly demon- strates how well they compliment each other in the passages on modesty.
Hippolita is always in danger of seeming "a confident coming piece" (220), although the two prostitutes provide a beneficial qualification to her forwardness, because their exaggerated aggression tempers her appearance of immodesty. Gerrard, however, believes that modesty is only important for the lady, claiming that "modesty in a man is as ill as the want of it in a Woman" (184), and that "Modesty between Lovers is as impertinent as Ceremony between Friends" (204).
