Observation on The Merchant of Venice

A famous playwright and world's greatest dramatist Willium Shakespeare wrote his famous drama called "The merchant of Venice".Here we can see several characters like Antonio,Bassanio,Lorenzo,Shylock,Jessica,Portia,Nerissa and many more.At the starting of the drama we can see that Antonio is floating in his thought and his friends are trying to solve about the source of the thought.Atlast after many consequences they get a conclusion that Antonio's all thought is about his merchant ship.Then the writer introduced us with Antonio's best friend Bassanio.Bassanio is trying to reach Belmont and he wants to marry Portia.But here comes a twist.Portia's father make a testament where he announces that who make his luck in the casket game,he can achieve Portia to marry with.Bassanio knows about the wealth of Portia.But he has'nt enough money to reach Belmont and participate in the game.So Bassanio along with Antonio have come to a moneylender Shylock to borrow some money.Shylock has an irritation on Christians. After listening an uninteresting speech from Shylock ,at-last they get the chance to lend money.But Antonio has to sign on a petition that in case they will be unwilling to return the lending money,Shylock will cut a pound of flesh from his body.
But here the scenerio of Belmont is something like that.A number of suitors has come to marry Portia - Prince of Morocco,Prince of Arragon etc.But no-one can achieve their goal.Here we can also see that Portia and his maid Nerrisa is talking about Bassanio.so we can say that Portia has an attraction on Bassanio.
Here one incident also occured in Venice.Shylock's daughter Jessica fled with Lorenzo(Antonio and Bassanio's friend) in a masquerade night.Jessica took all the jewellery and the money of Shylock with her.And Shylock became mad for his wealth.He is searching his daughter madly and informed everyone that his daughter fled with a Christian.
After lending money Bassanio started his journey for Belmont with his friend Gratiano. After reaching there Portia aware Bassanio about the casket room .She also getting so nervous about their luck.But after passing the hardle they get married to each other.There is an another marriage which is within Nerissa and Gratiano.
Certainly there is a news of the sailing ship of Antonio which has been sinking and Shylock has come to court with the penalty paper.After hearing the news Bassanio wants to reach Antonio.In the Venice court everyone tries to convince Shylock to mercy Antonio.But Shylock pretend to be deaf and he seriously wants to take the flesh of Antonio.After having some argument between Bassanio and Shylock,Portia has come with Nerissa ,carrying a disguise of a lawyer.Portia claims that if Shylock wants a pound of flesh ,he can,but he has to remind himself that there is no blood comes from the body of Antonio.On this reminder Shylock gets nervous.And the judge has come to a judgement that Shylock has diverted the court so he has to get 50% of his wealth to the Venice government and other 50% to his daughter Jessica and Gratiano.
After winning in the court disguised Portia demands the ring of Bassanio which has given by Portia herself .After crossing a hardle of talking Portia gets it.When Bassanio comes to Belmont ,Portia enquering about the ring. Bassanio has no answer.They have an argument but after that Portia told everybody about her plan and the disguised.
Then they live happily.Here it ends.
