The Merchant of Venice
The book i would like to talk about is the merchant of venice.The book is a dramatic work which is written by shakespear, an english famous writer.Shakespear is a very famous drama writer in the 16th century, he has written a lot of famous dramatic works, such as romeo and juliet, hamlet,authailo and so on.This book talks about something happens between merchants in venice.The drama begins with antonio helps baanio borrow money from shylock and then brings out other stories.Baanio, a merchant who is poor ,first wants to borrow money from his friend antonio, also a merchant in venice.As all the money of antonio's has been put on the ships which sails abroad, when baanio asks antonio for help,antonio decides to help baanio to borrow money from a jewish rich man, shylock.Shylock is a man who loves his nation very much.He is very rich and always gains profits from people who borrow his money.Baanio and antonio are charistans, and antonio looks down upon shylock, for shylock does not believe christa ,meanwhile, shylock is a little mean and loves money very much.As a man who really hates jewish so much,antonio does many harms to shylock before.This time, to borrow the money for baanio, antonio promises to shylock that he will pay the money back in three months,or he will be willing to do anything that shylock asks him to do.Antonio firmly believes he will pay the money back in time because his ships which contain all his property will come back in a short time.However, the limited time that he promises has already arrived but something unexpected happens, his property is lost, he can not pay the debt back.So shylock tries his best to retaliate antonio.Baanio, who has borrowed the money and has been to belmonte to persue his dream to marry portia, a very beautiful and rich lady.In balmonte, baanio gets the admiion to marry portia with his intelligence.When having achieved his dream, baanio hears the news that antonio is going to be punished by shylock.So he asks his wife for letting him to return to venice to rescue his friend.During the period of rescuing antonio, portia is so brilliant that she helps make antonio safe and make shylock fail completely.Meanwhile, shylock loses most of his money.At the end, baanio and portia have a happy ending.The drama, in my opinion, mainly reflects three aspects, the good friendship between baanio and antonio, the conflicts between jewish and the english people who are against jewish, the intelligence of portia and the romantic relationship between her and baanio.Some of the characters in the drama are worthy to talk about.First, i think, as one of the main characters of the book, shylock has many characteristics that worth discuing.As a jewish, he is very innocent in some ways.At that time, the jewish's position in english people's eyes is really very very low, it is really hard for shylock to live in that environment.He is always reviled and insulted by antonio and other english men.And it is why shylock hates antonio and other english merchants so much.When baanio asks him to borrow some money and invites him to have a meal with them, shylock refuses immediately, and says he could not bear the so-called christan's beliefs.Secondly, shylck is also a man who loves money so much.He gains interests by lending money to other english merchants.He is rich enough, but he is mean to others, no matter it is his daughter or his servant.He always values every opportunity to get profit.He says antonio is a fool, because antonio never asks for extra money when he lends money to others, and he lowers the interests in providing a loan.From some aspects, shylock loves his money more than his daughter jeica.When jeica steals some jewels and money from shylock and leaves with lorenzo, the man that jeica loves.Shylock cries for his jewels first, but not wanting to find his daughter back as soon as he can.When news comes that jeica spends 80 pounds during one night, he is only sad for his money, instead of worrying whether his daughter is alright or not outside.Thirdly, shylock is intelligent in one way.When referring to asking for interests, he uses a literary quotation to illustrate that getting profits by lending money to others is proper.Fourthly, shylock is also a man who will relatiate back when others insult him whenever there's a chance.He has been insulted a lot by antonio before, and when antonio can not pay the money back to him in time, he makes the most of the opportunity to make reprisals to antonio.In fact, from it, it also concludes shylock is a little cruel.When baanio and the duke or other people asks him to excuse antonio, he doesn't agree and is determined to get a pound of man's flesh from antonio, instead of getting his 3,000 pounds back.In the drama,shylock is not good enough, but in the end, he lives a miserable life.While antonio, the merchant of venice, i think he has different opinions to different people.He is very friendly to his friends and other christans.When baanio asks him for borrowing money but has no enough money, he should be will to sacrifice everything to borrow money for him, even his reputation.He never asks for repays when he helps others.When he can't pay the money back for baanio, he is willing to be punished by shylock, and decides not to tell it to baanio.But on the other hand, he looks down upon to jewish, such as shylock.He always considers shylock as a bad man, whenever he sees shylock, he would call him cut-throat dog and misbeliever.Even when he and baanio ask shylock for borrowing money, he is still spurns on him.What's more, i think antonio is a little arrogant, after he seals to the bond with shylock, he tells baanio that he will not forfeit it and he will have thrice times the value of 3,000 pounds in two months.He says it so definitely, he is a little over-confident.As for baanio, he is kind to others and also treats his friends very well.He is also very brilliant when he chooses the chest that can enable him to marry poetia.When he decides to choose one of the three chests,the gold, the silver and the leaden, he says the appearance of objects is always not in keeping with the fact of the objects, most people are usually taken in by the appearance.He doesn't choose the gold and the silver, but the leaden.Absolutely, he wins.To rescue antonio, he is willing to do anything, even loses his life.But, in some aspects, i think he doesn't keep prose.He promises to portia that he will keep the ring no matter what happens.However, he breaks his promise to give the ring to the justice who in fact is portia.Portia, the beautiful and smart lady.In the drama, she pursues for freedom to marry a man who she really loves.She never minds whether baanio is rich or not, she shows her virtuous when baanio decides to return venice to rescue antonio.What's more, she is so brilliant that after baanio leaves for venice, she goes to help in secret.When dealing with the case of shylock and antonio, she drees up as a judge and succeeds in rescuing antonio and makes him sefe without anything.She also makes shylock lose most of his property and fail completely.On the other hand, she is also romantic to her husband, she is so considerate to his husband.Though in the appearance, the book exposes the stingy and ruthle of shylock.In fact, we can also learn something in the deep of these characters.I think the reason why shylock is so bad is that, he is forced to be so.Living in the background which all the people hates the jewish, is a hard job.He is a pathetic man, he is betrayed by his own daughter and his servant, besides, he is forced to lose most of his money, lives painfully and lonely.Though it considers antonio as a kind person, he also shows his bad behaviors, he treats jewish so badly and at the end of the drama, he forces shylock to believe chtistan.The book makes portia nearly a perfect person, but she also has her defect, she shows no forgivene to shylock when judging the case.As a whole, we can learns that no one is perfect enough.He may behave well in some aspects, but he may also have some qualities that are not well.
