What reading level is The Dramatic Action And Motive of King John: book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Immediately after the killing of Austria the old playwright brings Elinor on the stage as the prisoner of Lewis, and there follows a taunting of Elinor by Constance in a vein of exulting spitefulness which shows how different was his conception of Constance from Shake- speare's : — " Constance doth live to tame thy insolence, And on thy head will now avenged be For all the mischiefes hatched in thy brain.
\ 52 THE DRAMATIC ACTION AND My time is now to triumph in thy fall, And thou shalt know th...at Constance will triumph." 1 To a modern ear the spitefulness of the taunt is much emphasized by the position of the accent of the last word, but no difference of orthoepic standard could make the invective mild. After this passage in the old play John rescues Elinor, and Arthur is taken prisoner.
Shakespeare's changes here subserve several dramatic purposes. He avoids the choppiness of this too frequent change of scene, preserves the dignity of the Queen Mother, and forbears interfering with the rush of the dramatic cur- rent, by introducing Arthur as already taken and by narrating in two lines Elinor's capture and her rescue, the rescue, let it be noted, be- ing accomplished not by John, but by Philip.
