What reading level is Aesthetical Essays of Frederich Schiller book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If Laocoon were only a common manhe would better understand his own interests, and, like the rest of theTrojans, he would find safety in rapid flight. But there is a heart inthat breast; the danger to his children holds him back, and decides himto meet his fate. This trait alone renders him worthy of our pity. Atwhatever moment the serpents had assailed him, we should have always beentouched and troubled. But because it happens just at the moment when asfather he shows himself so worthy of resp...ect, his fate appears to us asthe result of having fulfilled his duty as parent, of his tenderdisquietude for his children. It is this which calls forth our sympathyin the highest degree. It appears, in fact, as if he deliberatelydevoted himself to destruction, and his death becomes an act of the will. Thus there are two conditions in every kind of the pathetic: 1st. Suffering, to interest our sensuous nature; 2d. Moral liberty, tointerest our spiritual nature. All portraiture in which the expressionof suffering nature is wanting remains without aesthetic action, and ourheart is untouched.
