Description

The Merchant of Venice written by William Shakespeare is a drama based in Venice. The story begins with Bassanio's longing to wed Portia, one of the most beautiful and rich women of Belmont. In order to marry her, he needs 3000 ducats. He looks for Antonio's assistance who is a merchant of Venice and furthermore his best friend. Antonio tells him that he is devoid of the desired money as his ships have not arrived yet. Notwithstanding his circumstances, he guarantees Bassanio that he can become a guarantee for him to borrow money. Having been guaranteed by Antonio's assurance, Bassanio takes credit from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. He names Antonio as the underwriter for the credit. Shylock is now annoyed with Antonio as Antonio rents money without interest. Furthermore, is biased towards Jews. Yet, he consents to give an advance to Bassanio without interest but puts a condition that, if Antonio can't pay the credit on the predetermined due date, he will take a pound of Antonio's flesh. Antonio signs the agreement on seeing that the advance conveys no interest, despite the fact that Bassanio isn't supportive of such an agreement.

However, he denies the proposition and demands that he wants a pound of flesh from Antonio. The Duke alludes to the case to Balthazar, a youthful attorney.
