Answer 1

Answer:

The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

In The Merchant of Venice, when Shylock realizes that he may have the Christian merchant Antonioat a disadvantage—"catch him once upon the hip"—he delights in the idea of being able to retaliate against his rival who loans money at no interest. This practice of Antonio's forces Shylock to charge lower rates of interest on his loans if he has any hope at all of profiting from lending money. Furthermore, Shylock hates Antonio because he is a Christian and a native to Venice, whereas Shylock is a Jew and is disliked and reviled by Antonio and others. (In Venice Jews were made to live in a certain district called the "ghetto." In fact, the word ghetto originated from this name of the Jewish section in Venice, Italy.)

Knowing that Antonio's finances are invested with his ships at sea, Shylock makes the condition of the loan not in money, but in flesh. He is willing to gamble that the three ships on distant and dangerous seas may not all return. Then, if he wins, Antonio will die from having a pound of flesh extracted from his body. With Antonio out of the way, the mercenary Shylock can become a very wealthy man. He will also get his revenge on Antonio if the Venetian loses the bet.
