12th Night is not a fave of mine. neither is the Merchant of Venice.
The Merchant of Venice (1600)
In this lively comedy of love and money in sixteenth-century Venice, Bassanio wants to impress the wealthy heiress Portia but lacks the necessary funds. He turns to his merchant friend, Antonio, who is forced to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. When Antonio's business falters, repayment becomes impossible--and by the terms of the loan agreement, Shylock is able to demand a pound of Antonio's flesh. Portia cleverly intervenes, and all ends well (except of course for Shylock).
for Shakespeare to have in The Merchant of Venice supplied the if you prick me do I not bleed that monologue to someone who would have been of a who would have been strongly detested in his time right a Jewish character is evidence enough that Shakespeare struggled with his religion
i've tried reading the merchant of venice once and i just i can't i can't get through it, the stories don't interest me enough and also like the old-fashioned english... i just... i can't really understand it
