What reading level is The German Drama of the Nineteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reality must be made beautiful but not too restricted." But where Ludwig further requires that the play must "grow without cessation, seem to have root in Iffland and with its crown touch Shakespeare, and everything be simple, nothing either in character or in situation, affected or curious," then he was not able to satisfy his own demand.
Chief forester Christian Ulrich is a character much like Hebbel's Master Anton. Just as the latter is nar- rowed in his thought by class-consciousness and th...e ideas of right and honor peculiar to the lower classes, so, for the former, reality and its conditions vanish behind the thick green trees of the forest with which his life is bound up. "While he believes he is upholding his rights he commits not only a series of grievous irregularities, but his clear eye also loses the power of sharp discern- ment and thereby he becomes the victim of unfortunate accidents which make him a criminal, the murderer of his daughter. But fate does not govern in this play as in Werner and Mullner, where an unfortunate coin- OTTO LUDWIG 97 cidence of trifling circumstances brings about the pain- ful result, but, on the other hand, these incidents become of significance only because feelings irritated to the highest degree destroy reflection and drive a man pre- viously calm to act rashly and in wild sudden passion.
