What reading level is Tolstoy On Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

With Shakespeare, thisjealousy is founded entirely on Iago's persistent, successfulmachinations and treacherous words, which Othello blindly believes. Othello's monolog over the sleeping Desdemona, about his desiring herwhen killed to look as she is alive, about his going to love her evendead, and now wishing to smell her "balmy breath, " etc. , is utterlyimpossible. A man who is preparing for the murder of a beloved being, does not utter such phrases, still less after committing the murderwoul...d he speak about the necessity of an eclipse of sun and moon, and ofthe globe yawning; nor can he, negro tho he may be, address devils, inviting them to burn him in hot sulphur and so forth. Lastly, howevereffective may be the suicide, absent in the romance, it completelydestroys the conception of his clearly defined character. If he indeedsuffered from grief and remorse, he would not, intending to killhimself, pronounce phrases about his own services, about the pearl, andabout his eyes dropping tears "_as fast as the Arabian trees theirmedicinal gum_"; and yet less about the Turk's beating an Italian andhow he, Othello, smote him--_thus!_ So that notwithstanding the powerfulexpression of emotion in Othello when, under the influence of Iago'shints, jealousy rises in him, and again in his scenes with Desdemona, one's conception of Othello's character is constantly infringed by hisfalse pathos and the unnatural speeches he pronounces.
