Tentang eBook ini

In the vibrant city of Venice, a young merchant named Antonio borrows money from the Jewish moneylender Shylock to help his friend Bassanio court the wealthy heiress Portia. As collateral, Shylock demands a pound of Antonio's flesh if the loan is not repaid on time. Portia, disguised as a male lawyer, then defends Antonio in court against Shylock's merciless pursuit of his bond.

The Merchant of Venice remains one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays, exploring themes of anti-Semitism and justice. Despite its comedic elements, the play's portrayal of Shylock, often seen as a villainous stereotype, has sparked heated debates about prejudice and empathy. Nevertheless, the play's enduring legacy lies in its ability to provoke discussion and challenge audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about society and humanity.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE [1564-1616], born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England, is known as the greatest playwright of all time, with his name attached to a long line of immortal plays, including Othello, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth.
