Question

Justine mythological belief and illusion used by Shakespeare in Merchant of Venice​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Merchant of Venice is a 16th-century play written by William Shakespeare in which a merchant in Venice named Antonio defaults on a large loan provided by a Jewish moneylender, Shylock. It is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1599.

Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio and sharing certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is most remembered for its dramatic scenes, and it is best known for Shylock and his famous "Hath not a Jew eyes?" speech on humanity. Also notable is Portia's speech about "the quality of mercy".

Answer 2

Answer:

Rings. In The Merchant of Venice rings represent love and commitment between partners. For example, when they agree to marry, Portia gives Bassanio a ring that she says represents their bond of love. She cautions him that if he loses the ring or gives it away, that will represent the destruction of their love.

In The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare uses location and gender to frame point of view, creating a split between male-dominated Venice and woman-controlled Belmont. Venice represents a place where matters of business and law predominate. Belmont, by contrast, represents a place where matters of love and marriage take center stage. The play’s first three acts oscillate between the two locations, alternating between the risky business ventures in Venice and the marriage trials in Belmont. Act IV’s long courtroom scene brings the Venetian plot to a crisis point. The conflict between Shylock and Antonio comes to its head in this scene, and resolution arrives with the judge ultimately deciding in Antonio’s favor. The Belmont-framed plot has a more complicated structure. In one sense, this plot resolves at the end of Act III, when Bassanio chooses the lead casket and wins Portia’s hand. In another sense, however, this plot develops a new complication in Act V, when Bassanio breaks his promise never to relinquish Portia’s ring. The eventual resolution of this secondary complication allows the play to end with a qualified celebration of love in which women hold the ultimate power.
