The Merchant of Venice



Hello. I am Yuki Zama. I decided the Merchant of Venice as my topic because I read this book last year. Since I read a consideration book of Shakespeare’s script, I came to love Shakespeare. Shakespeare expressed people’s emotion very well. Not only he wrote the leading character’s emotion, he also wrote supporting character’s emotion very well. I thought that is his best point. In Merchant of Venice, Shylock(supporting character) was expressed so humanly, so I could understand his thinking easily. In addition, Shakespeare expressed people evenly. That is his good point too. Shylock was a wicked person, but he was troubled with being Judaist. Antonio(leading character) was a polite parson, but he looked down on Shylock. That is very interesting. I want to consider about Shakespeare’s intention. If you have some idea, let me know! Thank you.
