The Merchant of Venice

The Merchant of Venice - Thryft
The Merchant of Venice - Thryft

Shakespeare's controversial comedy on prejudice and intolerance.

This book could be a good read for someone who loves classic literature and is interested in exploring the theme of prejudice and intolerance that is still all too relevant in contemporary times. The play's complex characterisation and Shylock's intensity make it a compelling read that challenges its romantic and comedic elements.

Description

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Professor of English Literature, University of Sussex The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may well 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. He is a character so intense that he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations.
