What reading level is The Genesis of Corneille's Mélite book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is depicted as a sceptic in love- matters who becomes a convert to love through the bewitching beauty of Melite.
Such an identification becomes, however, very doubtful when it is remembered that in the early editions, Tircis was guilty of several indecent expressions and allusions. (41). Why would Corneille have depicted himself in such unfavorable light? Would he really have represented himself as a light- hearted sceptic, frequently indecent in his expressions, who be- trayed his friend in... love? Would he have made the reputation of his beloved Melite who rejected her first suitor, an object of public commentarj^? Yet, whether Corneille intended to em- body his own "self" in Tircis or not, the first audiences of the Melite must have recognized in Tircis a personage with whom they were already very familiar. There had grown up in the sixteenth century even, in reaction against the hero embodying the Platonic love conception which had spread from Italy, a type which served sometimes as a contrast and sometimes as a foil to these conceptions.
