About This Novel
"The Merchant of Venice" is Shakespeare's important early work and a highly satirical comedy. Created around 1596-1597. The theme of the script is to praise benevolence, friendship and love. It also reflects the contradiction between the commercial bourgeoisie and the loan sharks in the early stage of capitalism, and expresses the author's humanistic thoughts on issues such as money, law and religion in bourgeois society. An important literary achievement of this play is to create the typical image of Shylock, a profit-seeking, ruthless loan shark.
