A young nobleman named Bassanio seeks to woo the lovely Portia, but lacks the money to travel to her estate. He seeks support from his friend, the merchant Antonio; Antonio’s fortune is tied up in sea ventures, so the merchant offers to borrow money from a Jewish moneylender, Shylock. But Shylock holds a grudge against Antonio, who has routinely treated the Jew with contempt, and demands that if the debt is not repaid in three months, the price will be a pound of Antonio’s flesh. This memorable Shakespeare comedy touches on such important themes as love, mercy, gender, anti-Semitism and sexuality.
