5、main from Fiorentinos Il Pecorone (The Blockhead), Day 4 Story 1. Its comic elements are now less easy to perceive(感觉) due to well-justified post-World War II distaste for anti-Semitism(反犹太主义). The key figure now rarely seen as purely comic is Shylock, a reprehensible Jewish usurer(高利贷者). In fact, S

6、hakespeare is unlikely to have intended(有意的) him to be the central character of the play at all. The story revolves around two main events: the winning of the beautiful Portia by a test involving gold, silver and lead caskets(首饰盒) and the borrowing of 3000 ducats(硬币) by noble Bassanio from his merch

As such, the evil Shylock demands a pound of flesh from the debtor. Portia, now wedded to Bassanio, dresses up as an advocate and defends Antonio in court by

8、claiming that Shylock may have his pound of flesh but may not legally spill blood in doing so or he will forfeit(丧失) his life. The cunning of Portia and her servant Nerissa is consistently inspired and amusing, while the comeuppance(因果报应) of Shylock is undeniably(不可否认的) just and satisfying. These da

9、ys Shylock can be played as a tragic character rather than a comical devil, but this does little for the play which is clearly designed to be amusing rather than harrowing. The matter continues to provoke debate. - Character Antonio: A Venetian merchant of considerable wealth, he makes his money fro

10、m ventures, or mercantile enterprises using his fleet of ships. Much liked by his friends, Salanio, Gratiano and Salarino, Antonio is owed money by his friend Bassanio. The title of this play is considered to be derived from this character as well as the character of Shylock. Bassanio: The romantic

Her marriage will give him the money he needs to pay off his large debts to friend Antonio and so his courtship of Portia is also an attempt to pay off his debts. Shylock: A successful Jewish moneylender who is much maligned over his

12、religion and the practice of moneylenders such as himself of charging interest. He lends the 3000 ducats Bassanio needs to court Portia and hopefully, pay off his debts to Antonio. There is however a catch; if the debt is not repaid, Antonio as security will forfeit one pound of his flesh. It is Shy

When Polonius, the pompous Lord Chamberlain, suggests that Hamlet may be mad with love for his daughter, Ophelia, Claudius agrees to spy on Hamlet in conversation with the girl.

20、 But though Hamlet certainly seems mad, he does not seem to love Ophelia: he orders her to enter a nunnery and declares that he wishes to ban marriages.

When the moment of the murder arrives in the theater, Claudius leaps up and leaves the room. Hamlet and Horatio agree that this proves his guilt. Hamlet

24、he is immediately dispatched to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. However, Claudiuss plan for Hamlet includes more than banishment, as he has given Rosencrantz and Guildenstern sealed orders for the King of England demanding that Hamlet be put to death. In the aftermath of her fathers death

25、, Ophelia goes mad with grief and drowns in the river. Poloniuss son, Laertes, who has been staying in France, returns to Denmark in a rage. Claudius convinces him that Hamlet is to blame for his fathers and sisters deaths. When Horatio and the king receive letters from Hamlet indicating that the pr

Laertes will fence with Hamlet in innocent sport, but Claudius will poison Laertes blade so that if he draws blood, Hamlet will die. A
