Answer 2

Explanation:

➡The Merchant of Venice Summary. Antonio, an antisemitic merchant, takes a loan from the Jew Shylock to help his friend to court Portia. Antonio can't repay the loan, and without mercy, Shylock demands a pound of his flesh. The heiress Portia, now the wife of Antonio's friend, dresses as a lawyer and saves Antonio.

➡The main theme of The Merchant of Venice is the conflict between self interest and love. On the surface level, the major difference between Shylock the Jew and the Christian characters of the play is their level of compassion.

➡As is typical of Shakespeare's characterization, Shylock is neither a black nor a white character, but a mix, as real people are. To some extent, he is both victim and villain. He is a victim of the anti-semitism that runs rampant in Venice
