    The hatred between Christians and Jews in Venice in 1596 was so deep. Portia had a peculiar smell, oddly with her two yellow eyebrows. What a man swears to a woman to protect to the death is easily given away. The character of Antonio is inconsistent (he should always be proud, why begging?) so that he loses his independent personality and fails to...

    It will be crazy to watch such a movie if your English is not good. In addition, it is indeed a flood of basic feelings. . ....

    Although it's good, I really don't like this movie. Why can Christians not pay back what they owe, but also take half of other people's property... Naked hatred of...

    The script is too biased, the Jewish businessman is the most pitiful and innocent person, his daughter eloped with someone, and in the end, not only could he not be able to vent a little bit of anger, but he also lost his property, faith, and friends. Those so-called righteous people did too...

    【Shakespeare's tragic view of love and others】


    Seriously speaking, Shakespeare's tragic view of love should probably start from "Romeo and Juliet". The so-called tragedy does not refer to the ending of love, but that love means dedication and even sacrifice. This is also reflected in Portia's mate selection method in "The Merchant of Venice"....

    Love and hatred in Venice


    I haven’t read the original work in its entirety, but I also know a general idea about this familiar story. The texts and the teacher’s analysis of the Chinese language documents in the middle school years, and the professor’s explanations of the legal concepts and thoughts during the university...

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Bassanio: [confirming her love to him] Like one of two contending in a prize That thinks he has done well in people's eyes Hearing applause and universal shout Giddy in spirit, still gazing in a doubt As doubtful whether what I see be true Until confirmed, signed, ratified... by you .

    Portia: You see me, lord Bassanio, where I stand, such as I am. Though for myself alone I would not be ambitious in my wish to wish myself much better, yet for you, I would be treble twenty times myself. A thousand times more fair, ten thousand times more rich, that only to stand high in your account, I might in virtues, beauties, livings, friends, exceed account. But the full sum of me is sum of something which, to term in gross, is an unlessoned girl, unschooled, unpractised. Happy in this, she is not yet so old that she may learn. Happier than this, she is not bred so dull that she may learn. Happiest of all, is that her gentle spirit commits itself to yours to be directed as by her governor, her lord, her king. This house, these servants, and this same myself are yours .

  • Portia: [disguised as Balthasar] Do you confess the bond?

    Antonio: I do.

    Portia: Then must the Jew be merciful.

    Shylock: On what compulsion must I? Tell me that.

    Portia: The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed - it blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mighty. It becomes the throned monarch better than his crown. His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, the attribute to awe and majesty wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings. But mercy is above this sceptred sway. It is enthroned in the heart of kings. It is an attribute to God himself and earthly power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, though justice be your plea, consider this. That in the course of justice, none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much to mitigate the justice of your plea.
