What reading level is The Daimio's Head book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the second scene Montezuma's envoy returns with word that the strangers, in spite of the royal command, are on the march to Mexico. Montezuma is then persuaded to invite them to come, in spite of the warnings of the High Priest of Huitzil.
In the third scene the action shifts to the great causeway, where Montezuma meets and welcomes Cortez. The Spaniard, through his interpreter, Marina, half-persuades, half compels the King to lodge him and his men in the royal palace.
The fourth scene opens... with the capture of a Spanish sentinel, and his sacrifice upon the war-god's altar. Cortez fights his way to the altar, and his followers tear down the image of Huitzil, setting up the Cross. Cortez refuses to overthrow Quetzal. Cuitlahautzin now appears and demands an interview with Montezuma, which is granted him; he forces the King to give up his crown, the Beak of Huitzil, and Montezuma returns to his captivity. Cuitlahautzin is immediately crowned by the priests and people, and declares war upon the Spaniards.
