The Merchant of Venice is a comedy play by William Shakespeare. The play features multiple different story lines and how they are connected together. The Play is mainly about a Christian merchant named Antonio who has a friend named Bassanio who wants to head to Belmont to earn the favour of the wealthy heiress Portia and marry her. Bassanio asks Antonio for money for the trip but Antonio says he does not have right now but will get a loan from someone else. Antonio contacts the Jewish merchant named shylock who hates Christians and asks him for a loan, shylock agrees but says if it is not paid back then Antonio must pay in his own flesh. Overall the plot of the play was very interesting to read and funny because of how the characters interacted with each other and one problem led to another. I would definitely recommend you to read this play in both the new and old English language.
