Overview
The Merchant of Venice is Perhaps Most Associated Not With Its Titular Hero, Antonio, but With the Complex Figure of the Money Lender, Shylock. the Play Was Described As a Comedy in the First Folio but Its Modern Audiences Find It More Problematic to Categorise. the Vilification of Shylock 'The Jew' Can Be Very Uncomfortable for a Post-Holocaust Audience and Debates Continue As to Whether Shakespeare's Portrayal of This Complex Man is Sympathetic or Anti-Semitic. John Drakakis' Comprehensive Introduction Traces the Stage History of the Figure of the Jew and Looks Boldly at Twenty-First Century Issues Surrounding It. He Also Explores Other Themes of the Play Such As Father/Daughter Relations, the Power of Money and the Forceful Character of Portia, to Offer Readers an Energetic, Original and Revelatory Reading of This Challenging Play.
