A merchant in Venice named Antonio defaults on a large loan on behalf of Bassanio, his dear friend, provided by a Jewish moneylender, Shylock. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio and sharing certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is most remembered for its dramatic scenes, and it is best known for the character Shylock and his famous demand for a "pound of flesh" in retribution. The play contains two famous speeches, that of Shylock, "Hath not a Jew eyes?" on the subject of humanity, and that of Portia on "the quality of mercy". Debate exists on whether the play is anti-Semitic, with Shylock's insistence on his legal right to the pound of flesh being in opposition to Shylock's seemingly universal plea for the rights of all people suffering discrimination.00aShylockc(Fictitious character)vDrama. 0aJewszItalyvDrama. 0aMoneylendersvDrama. 4aTeatro inglés. 4aTragedia inglesa. 0aVenice (Italy)vDrama. 4aVenecia (Italia) vDrama9351541 aWright, Louis Booker,d1899-1984eeditor9344571 aLamar, Virginia A. eeditora935153423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1009/2006018628-d.html  2lcccBK  irmza  c120723d120723  00102lcc40708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2024-02-20l0oPR 2825 S527m 1957p00000174680r2024-02-20 00:00:00t1w2024-02-20yBK
