To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
24S resembled, in respect of its horrible dilemmas, a play of Sophocles; and the fact that only two or at most three actors took part in the conversations at once, and that a chorus behind the scenes supplied the necessary explana- tions and the emotions proper to the several occasions, made the comparison with the Greek drama the more complete. Two judges, in the costume of the daimios or feudal lords, were seated on a daifs, and (except when one of them delivered a long oration) maintained a ...digni- fied silence. A man, with his wife and child, was brought before them. The man was tried for his life, and con- demned ; but, by the judgment of the court, the woman had it in her power to save her husband by killing her child. She took up a weapon to do so ; but the mother's love was too strong, and, in sentences of anguish so pathetic that it moved the audience to tears, and in which there clearly were touches of real beauty, she threw the weapon from her, and her husband was accordingly handed over to the torturers.
