Table of Contents

• Set in 16 century Venice, Shakespeare's timeless comedy follows the fates and fortunes of a group of Christian noblemen and their interactions with the Jewish moneylender Shylock. Antonio borrows money from Shylock to help his young penniless friend Bassanino in his questt to win the hand of the fair Portia. Bitter at Antonio's insults, Shylock stipulates very specific terms if he defaults on the loan: If Antonio defaults on the loan, then Shylock will take a pound of his flesh as payment.
