The Merchant of Venice

Merchant-of-Venice

Bassanio asks the Jewish moneylender, Shylock, for a loan to help him court the wealthy Portia, and does so on behalf of the antisemetic merchant, Antonio. Shylock agrees to the loan, but if within three months the loan hasn’t been paid, Shylock demands a pound of Antonio’s flesh. A story about love, wealth, and revenge, can Bassanio and Portia save Antonio from his fate?
