What reading level is Some Textual Difficulties in Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The trouble seems to be that no one has been able to set forth the point of view in a state- ment that is quite convincing. My own point of view is as follows.
The Germans have an expression, "to write it on the town clock," the meaning of which is to advertise a thing in the most public place. I have always seen it used in a spirit Digitized by Google SOME TEXTUAL DIFFICULTIES IN SHAKESPEARE 171 of ridicule, as when a man has been caught in some misdeed and persists in writing and talk- ing pu...blicly in his own defense, thus spreading his disgrace wider. He writes it on the town clock. As this expression is a folk saying which is probably very old, and as it has been caught up and perpetuated till it is virtually a part of the language, it shows that there is nothing strained or unnatural about it. So there would be nothing unnatural in Shake- speare's expressing public disgrace in a similar way.
But Shakespeare carries it a little farther.
Othello feels as if he were the very figure, the symbol, the standard of public reference for marital disgrace.
