Question

Shakespeare has fine balance of love and comedy in merchant of Venice . Justify?

Answer 1

The Merchant of Venice is basically the same thing as a modern day romantic comedy. It's got romantic elements, everybody gets married or close to it at the end, and there are comedic elements throughout. It can be dark at times. Shylock is one nasty guy, but a reader definitely would not call the play a drama. 

Romance first. It is pretty romantic that Bassanio is willing to "risk it all" in order to woo...
