The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.

Not a fan. What a friend!
评分不喜
评分印象不深瞭。隻有鬥嘴沒感情戲,人傢怎麼記得住。
评分What interest me most are Portia's ordeal for the wooers and Shylock's eloquent speech delivered for the Jews.
评分Possible directions: The hypocrisy of Christian gentlemen; the freedom of Portia (The relationship between gender conflict and racial or religion conflict); Shylock's Jewish characteristics (He's a "Stage Jew" but he's also the one who speaks the truth; law? justice? miserly? puritan? Or does he really convert every thing into money?)
