Narrative Supposing Books The Merchant of Venice

In this lively comedy of love and money in sixteenth-century Venice, Bassanio wants to impress the wealthy heiress Portia but lacks the necessary funds. He turns to his merchant friend, Antonio, who is forced to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. When Antonio's business falters, repayment becomes impossible--and by the terms of the loan agreement, Shylock is able to demand a pound of Antonio's flesh. Portia cleverly intervenes, and all ends well (except of course for Shylock).

Write-Up Out Of Books The Merchant of Venice

It has been debated whether Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice is anti-semitic or whether he is trying to call attention to their plight in his time. Many modern readers lean toward the latter pointing to Shylock's profound speech in the trial scene (do I not bleed when you cut me?). It's up to the reader to form their own opinion because it's hard to know what Shakespeare was thinking 400 years after the fact.From a pure readability standpoint, I thought the play was very good, one of

Book Review 3 of 5 stars to The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. My review is an excerpt from a paper I wrote on appearance versus reality in Shakespeare's plays. In many of William Shakespeares famous plays, reality was not quite what it appeared to be. Instead, it was a rather warped appearance that someone molded in a specific way for a particular reason. Reality has been altered in Shakespeares plays often by characters who have been known to lie, scheme, and create facades,

Exceptional play by Shakespeare, Godfather of plays.I loved it more because, I had acted in my schooling.Even remember some of dialogues of mine, I was Sherlock.Straight kind of writing and direct influencing subject.Great.

Probably my favourite Shakespeares 'comedy'....

*reread nov 2015*Definitely one of my favourites.

The villainy you teach me I Will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.-Shylock (act 3, scene 1)Let's not beat around the bush: The Merchant of Venice is an antisemitic play. This isn't even an arguable contention as far as I'm concerned; I don't believe any modern reader who wasn't already determined to vindicate Shakespeare could read the play and conclude differently. It's true that Shylock, as a character, is more

Maybe I'm being slightly harsh with my rating. I read this play and immediately thought I'll rate it 5 stars. But I rescinded this idea. Hear me out. I realized that it was an outdated model of storytelling.I also realized that there's not many adaptations of this story of Shakespeare. We get lots of Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, even the ambitious Othello or Midsummer Night's Dream.The Merchant of Venice is at heart a simplistic story with people in love but it's not a love story.
