What reading level is The Appreciation of the Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is the third act, in which the wife at her hus- band's instigation visits the man whom they 144 The Material of the Drama both believe to be a libertine, an example of sincerity or insincerity? Has it any elements of being a typical case ? Typical in a general way of the supreme sacrifices which many a good wife makes for a bad husband ? In the play itself is there any antecedent probability that the husband, cur though he is, would sink to such meanness; that the wife would or should submit to... such an outrage? And again, has the conclusion of the scene any bearing what- ever on the moral issues involved ? Does it claim to be, or, in effect, is it, the solution of any moral problem whatsoever? Is it not rather a situation that does not grow out of the action dramatically, but has been thrust into it; a theatrical device, involving a question of morals, but not treated as a moral problem; introduced simply as a telling episode that was bound to make a sensation?
I leave the answer to my readers: but before you decide compare the, at first sight, similar episode in Maeterlinck's Monna Vanna.
