What reading level is Beaumarchais And Plautus the Sources of the Barbier De Seville book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" B. S. , III-4.
The most striking verbal resemblance between the two plays, however, is that of the 'left eye. 7 The lover of Philocomasium has entered the soldier's house in the disguise of a ship master to carry the girl home to her mother. The soldier notices that the pre- tended sailor has a bandage over the left eye and asks him sud- denly, "Quid factum tuo oculof at laevum dico?" — M. G. , IV-7. In the Barbier de Seville, Figaro, in order to keep Bartholo from seeing the two lovers as th
...ey talk together, pretends that he has something in his eye and calls upon Bartholo to help him remove it.
Bartholo — Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Figaro — Je ne sais ce qui m'est entre dans l'oeil.
Bartholo — Ne frottez done pas.
Figaro— C'est le gauche. — B. S. , 111-12.
It is certainly a striking coincidence that the 'left eye' should be mentioned in both plays and under similar circumstances. There seems to be no especial significance attached to the use of the expres- sion in the Barbier, it may then be simply a reminiscence of Plautus.
