Informazioni su questo ebook
The Merchant of Venice is a play written by William Shakespeare. This comedy is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. In this 16th-century play, Antonio, a merchant in Venice, defaults on a substantial debt made by Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, who without mercy, demands a pound of his flesh. Shylock also wants to get even with Antonio for making anti-Semitic comments. Portia, now the wife of Antonio's friend, Bassanio, finally saves Antonio. Bassanio, the best friend of Antonio, is a spendthrift who wasted all of his money in order to be seen as a respectable man. He is determined to marry Portia, a wealthy and intelligent heiress of Belmont. In the ensuing scenes, Portia’s speech about “the quality of mercy” plays an important part in the drama. Although the play’s main goal is to show the conflict between the right to property and the right to life, it also explains the ensuing minor clash between a parent’s will and a child’s right to choose.
Informazioni sull'autore
William Shakespeare, also known as Bard of Avon, was an English poet, playwright and actor, who is globally considered to be the greatest dramatist of all time. Even today, very few writers can be compared to that of Shakespeare, whose plays, written in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, are now performed and read more often across the globe. His earliest plays include the comedies, Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Much Ado About Nothing, and As You Like It. There are history plays based on the lives of the English kings, including Henry VI, Richard III, and Richard II; and the tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
