The Merchant of Venice

The Merchant of Venice

Sherlock, the Jewish old man, is full of sympathy. Who said that he loves money like his life, and for revenge, for the chance to get revenge at last, and to spit out the evil spirit of being bullied for a long time, he would rather give up the doubled gold coin compensation, which is clearly in pursuit of dignity. The narrow-mindedness and prejudice of Christians can be seen everywhere. At the beginning of the movie, Antonio spats Sherlock for no reason, which is extremely rude and vulgar!

"The Merchant of Venice" is a well-known drama, and it seems to have a standard interpretation. Sherlock has always been a villain, greedy, sinister, vicious, cruel, and people full of "sense of justice" cheered and applauded for his unfortunate ending. However, if we suspend the original concept, I believe that we will read a completely different flavor from this famous play by Shakespeare. A comedy for Antonio and his friends, and a tragedy for Sherlock, the helpless old man tries to win the case with the rules set by the other party, but he is eventually calculated and bullied.

    When I was in junior high school, I went to Qingcheng Mountain for a spring outing. There was a Chinese intern teacher (a student from Peng County Teachers College) who vividly told us about the Merchant of Venice in the car. From then on, I was fascinated by literature and words. The movie is more faithful to the original, not surprising, but Sherlock is more vivid and full. The English reading of Shakespeare's plays is very good.

    The Godfather as Sherlock. . . Very poor. Should be a little darker

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.
