William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice
eBook
(Prabhat Prakashan Aug. 5, 2016)
The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies; but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly; in performance; it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock; though vanquished in the law-court; often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play; challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama.
Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy; it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary
