The Merchant of Venice is a comedy/tragedy set in Italy. It is centered around love, money, prejudice, and social injustice. Shylock asks for a pound of flesh as part of a loan contract; Bassonio agrees to it, and Portia saves the day by disguising her identity and pretending to practice the law. No one dies, although Shylock loses his money, his property, and his religion. The Merchant of Venice is a comedy, but it forces us to consider antisemitism and racism then and now. |
