This book was written by Shakespeare who was a famous author in England. This book consists of five small tales. I will introduce the first chapter to you which name is The Merchant of Venice. In this chapter, there are six main mankind which name is Antonio, Bassanio, Shylock, Portia. They lived in Venice. Antonio helps his close friend whose name is Bassanio to see his lovely girl-Portia. However Bassanio is a poor man, and he do not have enough money to see Portia. Therefore Antonio loans three thousand dollars from Shylock who is a usurer. Antonia and Shylock has a deal that if Antonia can not return three thousand dollars back, he will cut one pound of meat from Antonia’s body. Finally, Bassanio gets married to his lovely girl, but Antonia will die because he can not find three thousand dollars to Shylock. Shylock is a very bad guy. He does not want any money, he just wants to one pound of meat which comes from Antonio’s body because he wants him to go to the hell. Bassanio’s wife-Portia makes believe to be a lawyer, and she uses her intelligences to disprove Shylock’s opinion. Eventually, she wins. Shylock can not get his three thousand dollars, and he must give his whole wealth to his girl.
In my opinion, Shylock is a wicked person. To me, cutting one pound of meat from human’s body is a incredible affair because it is too bloody. Shylock doest not want to get money back, he just really want to meat. I think that Shylock retaliates Antonio because he opposes him a lot.
