What reading level is Euripides And Shaw With Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Euripides' tendency is to take over such characters and mortise them into the plot : a comparison of Pylades in the Choephoroe of jEschylus with Pylades in the Euripidean Orestes is most instructive. The third great use of economy is in dialogue. Here as elsewhere an important distinction holds between romantic and classic drama. In the ideal classic play there would not be a single word which gave no help to the development of the plot ; in the ideal romantic play, dialogue would be often expa...nded, not perhaps for the sake merely of a " purple patch " (the OF DRAMA 171 question which we discussed above), but to impress upon us more vividly the mo- mentary situation (e. G. The poverty of Romeo's Mantuan apothecary), and so less directly than in the classical type to further the action. So much is true in theory, but there is no ideal instance of either form. Sophocles, on the whole the most " classical " of all playwrights, does develop speeches, if not conversations, for the sake of " roman- tic " momentary vividness, as CEdipus shows in the Colwneus and Teucer in Ajax, since (to be pedantic) the defence of CEdipus and the praises of Ajax could have been put effectively in fewer words.
