The Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare William)(Paperback) - diskuze

The Merchant of Venice written by William Shakespeare is a drama based in Venice. The story begins with Bassanio's longing to wed Portia, one of the most beautiful and rich women of Belmont. In order to marry her, he needs 3000 ducats. Antonio tells him that he is devoid of the desired money as his ships have not arrived yet. Antonio signs the agreement on seeing that the advance conveys no interest, despite the fact that Bassanio isn't supportive of such an agreement. When it was Bassanio's turn to choose the casket, Nerissa, Portia's maid hints at Bassanio by singing a song as Portia had met him previously and wanted him to win. Bassanio chooses the bronze casket and gets married to Portia. The Duke alludes to the case to Balthazar, a youthful attorney. However, as a matter of fact, that was Portia in disguise. Portia demands Shylock to be benevolent and forgiving. As there was no chance to get out, the court awards consent to Shylock. Shylock was left with no other decision than to acknowledge Bassanio's proposal of cash. Later Antonio gets to know from Portia that his ships have not wrecked and will reach the harbor soon.
