520 _a"Shakespeare's play of the Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare is a play written between 1596 and 1598. When Antonio, a Venetian merchant, defaults on a loan provided by Jewish moneylender Shylock, the consequences threaten to be fatal. The bond's condition allows Shylock to claim a pound of Antonio's flesh. Though classified as a comedy, the play is remembered for its dramatic tension and Shylock's character, raising enduring questions about justice, mercy, and discrimination through two of Shakespeare's most famous speeches.
