Although The Merchant of Venice is technically a comedy, the play is notably remembered for its commentary on humanity and its dramatic scenes. Follow along as Shakespeare weaves a tale of love and money that engages in high antics and drama.

Antonio, a wealthy merchant, begins the play suffering from an unnamed melancholy.  His friend, Bassanio is in desperate need of money in order to court the lovely Portia. While Antonio has the means, he does not have the money available, so he acts as a guarantor for Bassanio’s loan. Should Bassanio not repay the loan in time, the collateral would be a pound of Antonio’s flesh. In the meantime, Portia’s father has created an impossible test that any suitor must pass before he is allowed to court Portia. As Antonio and Bassanio fall deeper into the trouble that the loan has caused, the trials to court Portia become more dramatic.
