The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.

不喜
評分the ending was blah...extremely anticlimactic
評分What interest me most are Portia's ordeal for the wooers and Shylock's eloquent speech delivered for the Jews.
評分Possible directions: The hypocrisy of Christian gentlemen; the freedom of Portia (The relationship between gender conflict and racial or religion conflict); Shylock's Jewish characteristics (He's a "Stage Jew" but he's also the one who speaks the truth; law? justice? miserly? puritan? Or does he really convert every thing into money?)
評分印象不深瞭。隻有鬥嘴沒感情戲,人傢怎麼記得住。
