What reading level is The Idle Actor in Schylus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is something grotesque in the picture of the queen standing idly by all this time, quite without reason, and the detailed description of the slaughter of Iphigenia is in singularly bad taste if the mother is present. It is more natural to suppose, either that she appears only for a moment (as in the herald-scene), or that she is not present at all until the end, the first address being merely an apostrophe made with lyric freedom. ^s There occurs in this play, however, the most famous cas...e of the idle actor in . ^schylus — the long silence of Cassandra. When Agamemnon makes his triumphal entry on the chariot, Cassandra as his captive naturally rides in another chariot following him. She is unnoticed, however, for 168 Hnes; then Agamemnon mentions her, but she is not addressed for 85 lines more; and then she is obstinately silent for another 37 lines. In all she is silent for 290 lines. In this long interval occur the greeting of the chorus, Agamemnon's speech, the scene with Clytemestra, and a stasimon.
