Question

can anyone pls give the significance of the title "merchant of venice" in long
thanks ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, the title is significant because it is a reference to the protagonist and hero of the play, Antonio. The title tells us who the play is about and also provides the setting. Since Antonio does live in Venice and is a merchant, and most of the events in the play revolve around him, we can confidently assume that the title refers to him. Furthermore, most of the action in the drama plays out in the city of Venice, so the title is also apt in this regard.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Clearly Shakespeare thought that Antonio was a more important character than Shylock. Or Bassanio and Portia for that matter.

• The title is significant because it is a reference to the protagonist and hero of the play, Antonio. The title tells us who the play is about and also provides the setting.
