This is wonderfully written but it will always be better if the person writing it mentions his/her name.

In reply to rex.

My greetings to you Rex, I completely agree with your points… You did a great comment. That makes the reader to open his mind rather than his eyes. Thanks….

Just like many stories, Dickens, say, and films, there are the bad guys and the good guys. The good guys win and the bad guys come to a sticky end. In Shakespeare terms the above text’s description of a comedy is pretty well-defined in general, the main point being the happy outcome for the good guys. However, in paragraph 4 above, referring to Merchant of Venice, the writer states that poor Shylock, because of one mistake, is punished severely and that the Christians are ‘selfish and shallow and cruel beyond imagination’. The play makes clear why Shylock was universally loathed, and his little mistake was to cheat a young businessman into forfeiting a lump of his flesh against defaulting on a loan that the young man borrows to help his best friend. Shakespeare does allow Shylock to say why he hates everybody so. But in the end, in insisting on his ‘pound of flesh’, and accepting no alternative, including many times the amount of money he lent, Shylock shows himself to be a nasty piece of work. He wants vengeance. The main Christian characters, Antonio, Bassanio, Portia, are all clearly shown to be high-minded, forgiving, selfless people, who, hoping at the trial to persuade Shylock to show mercy, offer generous concessions. But his own stubbornness invites his punishment, in the form of fines. Fines are justified punishments, not cruel – especially considering that he wanted to cut out a piece of a living person’s body to make a point. Part of the money the judge takes from him is intended for Shylock’s intended victim, Antonio. But Antonio foregoes the amount and asks that it be given to Shylock’s daughter, Jessica, who, we must point out to the above writer, ran away from her dominating father to marry another decent Christian, Lorenzo, who was in love with her.
Watch out for careless information. Read the play.Also, remember the saying ‘the past is another country’. We must see the characters as Shakespeare did, in the times he lived in, not through our own eyes, in our own imperfect times.

My cousin is learning about Shakespeare for her GCSE’s and the book she chose to write an essay about was ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and she is really, really enjoying it. She goes on your website to study!
