What reading level is The Thirty Six Dramatic Situations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mental diseases, manias of various types, offer power- ful dramatic effects which have not yet been exploited. These furnish, doubtless, but points of departure toward the Situation whose real investiture takes place at the moment of the hero's restoration to reason, -■- which is to say, to suffering. But if it ever happens that these three phases — the etiology of delirium, its access, and the return to a normal condition - are treated with equal strength and vigor, what an admirable work will... result! The first of the three stages, which bears upon the explanations of insanity, has been variously held to be divine (by the Greeks), demoniac (by the Church), and, in our own times, hereditary and pathological. Hypno- tism has recently created another nuance; the hypnotist here forms a substitute, -a sorry one it is true, - for divinity or demon. Drunkenness furnishes us a nuance unfamiliar to Greece; what is today more commonplace, and at the same time more terrible, than the disclosure of an important secret or the committing of a criminal act, while under the influence of drink?
