Merchant of Venice. Shylock the jew, lived and Venice and was a usurer who made immense fortunes by lending money to Christian merchants at great interest. Bassanio needed money to ask his beloved Portia in the hand of marriage, and Antonio did not ihave it, but he knew his ships would soon arrive from the sea with many treasures. So, he went to Shylock to borrow money. Shylock took this chance to takeiadvantage of Antonio, for they were never on agreeing terms. Shylock made a deal, in sport, Antonio thought, they signed a bond in front of a lawyer saying that if Antonio did not pay Shy- Iock onthe day agreedupon, Shylock could take a pound of flesh from Antonio. On the day Bassanio proposed to Portia, a letter ar- rived saying Antonio's ships had failed to come. Bassanio borrowed money from Portia to pay off Shy- lock. Shylockf refused the money, insisting on the pound of flesh. Their argument was taken to court. Meanwhile Portia, wanting to help her new husband and friend, poses as a lawyer and takes the case. She flatters Shylock and procures the bond. After read- ing carefully, she notes that Shylock has the right to take the pound of flesh, but no blood. She proceeds to say that since he threatened a man's life, he should pay the state with his own. The Duke pardons him under the conditions that he pay half his earnings to the state and the other half to Antonio. Antonio gives his half to Shy- lock's daughter, who has been denounced for marrying a Christian. Portia reveals later that she was, in fact, the lawyer and gave Antonio some letters which contained an account of the ships that had arrived safely in the harbor. The Real Inspector Hound.
