P71.Brief Statements Based on the UnitThe Merchant of Venice is the most outstanding “romantic” comedy written by William Shakespeare, the greatest British playwright and poet of Renaissance. This play is mainly about the process of a story that Shylock, a cruel and greedy moneylender, is punished by Antonio, a merchant of Venice, with the help of his friendsPortia and Bassanio. The central theme of the play is the triumph of love(between Portia and Bassanio)and friendship(between Antonio and Bassanio)over insatiable greed and brutality(as presented by Shylock).A happy ending is brought about when Shylock is punished. Here we can see the true progressive significance of The Merchant of Venice and of its author :consistent hatred for the oppressors and sympathy for the oppressed.

Whats even more, he refuses the Dukes persuasion to have mercy on Antonio. But when the roles are turned around, the Duke shows mercy to Shylock despite the fact that nobody really likes Shylock. What would you do if you had your worst enemy in your power?B: In my opinion, people should be kind and merciful. The punishment on my enemy should depends on the situation. If he tries to correct his fault and is able to get along well with me in future, I will forgive him. After all, a friend is better than an enemy.A: I agree with you. What shouldnt be forgotten is that all the things has a limited line.B: How do you like the play The Merchant of Venice? Have you read any other plays of Shakespeare?A: Its worth reading.
