If you are in grade 10 and don’t want to read page after page of boringness in
The Merchant of Venice, I recommend that you check out the graphic novel version. It keeps that same ugly Shakespearian English script found in the original play, so how different can the thing be?
Merchant of Venice is pretty much about this guy named Antonio who makes a deal with this guy that say, “If you can’t pay me back I will have a pound of your flesh… you know… for the lolz.” And of course, Antonio can’t pay him back. This happens because Antonio’s friend likes some girl and he has to pay her money to ask her to marry him, and of course, he has no money because he is dead broke. It is a very interesting concept, and I love the medium that is used. It will be a useful tool to anyone learning the text.
