To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He says that Leonato has too little expression. There can be no dout as to the figure intended for Leonato. Claudio is identified by a very theatrical gesture and by a Mefistofelian Don Juan behind him. The fainting Hero, over whom Beatrice is bending, falls into Benedix' arms. The only other figure, that of an older man, and who therefore cannot be Benedix, is standing in a most theatrical posture with clencht fists, eyes upturnd, rigid and ridiculous. If Tieck ment that this figure should rep...resent Leonato, he has shot wide of the mark in his criticism and displays a most unrefined love of the melodramatic. Figures like this are not often found in the ' 'Gallery. ' ' Ordinarily excess of sentiment and a cheap display of emotion giv way to stiffness and awkwardness. Tieck was dissatisfied with all the reproductions of Lear. They 30 hav all too much of the gigantic, too little of the childish old man. He points out that the face as drawn by Fiiessli expresses nothing but rage; the same exaggeration is found in the drawing of West who sacrifices truth, nature and emotion to a striking first im- pression.
