Venetian kauppias by William Shakespeare
QR code
"Venetian kauppias" by William Shakespeare is a play written between 1596 and 1598. When a Venetian merchant defaults on a loan provided by a Jewish moneylender, the deadly terms of their contract come due: a pound of flesh. What begins as a tale of friendship and borrowed money transforms into a courtroom drama exploring mercy, justice, and revenge. The play features complex questions about prejudice and humanity, centered on the moneylender Shylock
and his infamous demand. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
