What reading level is Goethe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The language is conversational prose, realistically shaded to the social status of the speakers and to the nature of the business in hand. So we miss the appeal of noble diction, even as we miss the other lures of the grand style.
And yet, just because the effort to achieve the grand style by imitation had' degenerated in the hands of Ger- THE DRAMATIST 271 man writers into an empty formalism which had no room in it for the red blood of human nature — just for this reason the freshness of ' Got...z von Berlichingen ' proved irresistibly attractive to the public of that day. A bet- ter play from the technical point of view, such a play as the author of ' Emilia Galotti ' might have approved, would inevitably have proved thinner in substance and so have failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the literary insurrectos who now fell into line behind Goethe as their acknowledged leader.
And after all, there was a species of higher wisdom in the general formula of ' Gotz,' for what average spec- tators in the theater demand is to be interested all along in what is going on at the moment — not to be emotion- ally prepared for something that is coming at the end of the fifth act.
