Summary "De Koopman van Venetië: Drama in vijf bedrijven" by William Shakespeare is a classic play written during the late 16th century. The work revolves around complex themes of love, friendship, and justice, highlighted through the interactions of its main characters, including the merchant Antonio, his friend Bassanio, and the Jewish moneylender Shylock. At the start of the play, we meet Antonio, who is feeling inexplicably melancholic despite his successful merchant ventures. His friends, Salarino and Solanio, speculate about the cause of his sadness, suggesting that it must be love-related. Bassanio arrives and reveals his desire to court the wealthy heiress Portia, which he cannot pursue due to his financial problems. To secure the necessary funds for his courtship, Bassanio plans to ask Antonio for a loan, igniting a chain of events that leads to the poignant exploration of friendship, sacrifice, and societal prejudices that permeate the play.
