What reading level is The Inward Light: a Drama in Four Acts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But we should allow no man in his dread of death or cowardice of battle to become a Friend, unless he be willing to die every death for the faith which he espouses. Has our Society endured all these years that in this, our supreme test, we should throw a protecting cloak round hypocrisy?
CALEB. Some of these applications may be in good faith.
ISAAC. But I am always suspicious of a sudden change of heart.
JONATHAN. Ay, especially in matters of this kind.
DAVID. The Society of Friends is no place... for shirk ers. Much as I deplore the soldier's occupation, which is avowedly to kill, I cannot but admire the spirit which sends him forth to do as a soldier that which he would never do as a man. His devotion sanctifies him, and makes him call sacrifice that which I call murder. Mis- 96 The Inward Light taken as he may be, he lives for a cause. [Tossing aside the roll. ] What do these fellows live for?
JONATHAN [to DAVID]. What does thee suggest?
DAVID. That we admit no new members until the end of the war.
