"The Merchant of Venice" is a renowned play written by the legendary English playwright William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1599. It is classified as one of Shakespeare's comedies, but it also delves into themes of love, justice, and prejudice.
The play is set in Venice and revolves around several intertwined plots. The central character is Antonio, a wealthy merchant who borrows money from a Jewish moneylender named Shylock to help his friend Bassanio woo the wealthy heiress Portia. As collateral for the loan, Shylock demands a pound of Antonio's flesh if the loan is not repaid on time.
Meanwhile, Portia, disguised as a male lawyer, intervenes in the trial of Antonio to save his life. Using legal cunning and wit, she argues that Shylock is entitled to the debt owed by Antonio but cannot extract the pound of flesh without spilling any blood, thus rendering the contract void. In the end, Shylock's cruelty is turned against him, and he is forced to convert to Christianity.
"The Merchant of Venice" is celebrated for its complex characters, intricate plot, and rich language. However, it has also sparked controversy and debate due to its portrayal of Shylock, which has been criticized as anti-Semitic. Despite this, the play remains one of Shakespeare's most enduring works, with its exploration of themes such as mercy, justice, and the nature of prejudice continuing to resonate with audiences around the world.

The war of my reading time
This felt like the longest short book I've ever read. It took me weeks to get through - and I don't even know why. Okay, the language is dusty, the story slow and the ending anticlimactic. But I somehow still enjoyed it - and even here I don't know why...
