William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was een Engelse dichter, schrijver en acteur. Hij wordt gezien als een van de meest invloedrijke schrijvers allertijden. Hij groeide op en Stratford-upon-Avon, een stad in het midden van Engeland. Op zijn achttiende trouwde hij met Anne Hathaway waarmee hij drie kinderen kreeg. In april 1953 publiceerde Shakespeare zijn lang verhalende gedicht Venus and Adonis. De uitgave werd met negen herdrukken een groot succes. De bekendste toneelstukken die William Shakespeare schreef zijn Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth en King Lear. Na 1601 schreef hij steeds minder. Mede door een nieuwe generatie schrijvers die een nieuwe stijl introduceerden. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van William Shakespeare.
Samenvatting
In The Merchant of Venice, the path to marriage is hazardous. To win Portia, Bassanio must pass a test prescribed by her fathers will, choosing correctly among three caskets or chests. If he fails, he may never marry at all.
Bassanio and Portia also face a magnificent villain, the moneylender Shylock. In creating Shylock, Shakespeare seems to have shared in a widespread prejudice against Jews. Shylock would have been regarded as a villain because he was a Jew. Yet he gives such powerful expression to his alienation due to the hatred around him that, in many productions, he emerges as the hero.
Portia is most remembered for her disguise as a lawyer, Balthazar, especially the speech in which she urges Shylock to show mercy that droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.
