The Merchant of Venice is classed as one of Shakespeare's comedies, but is more often remembered for its dramatic characters and situations. Though the villain of the piece, the Jewish moneylender Shylock is often the most prominent and well-remembered character of the play. As he can be played and directed either sympathetically or wholly villainous, the play remains a highly contentious piece of theater.
This play is well made, and the elements of it are well marshalled. But, of course, to the modern reader the anti-Semitism is repugnant. A man of his time, working in the entertainment business, did what was likely to please, and thus, here it is. There is some lovely poetry. Written in 1598. ( )
Sin duda una de las más famosas y mejores obras de William Shakespeare (1564-1616), "El mercader de Venecia" se estructura en torno a la anécdota del fracaso de un aval y la sanguinaria reclamación del usurero Shylock, y la relación amorosa entre el noble Bassanio y Porcia, rica y hermosa huérfana. Pese a estar teñida del antisemitismo propio de la época, el judío Shylock se revela como uno de los grandes tipos shakespearianos y el personaje de más fuste y vigor de la obra. Y si las tres parejas de amantes que acaban felizmente unidas en el último acto representan el lado amable del drama, para nuestros tiempos -apunta en su prólogo Vicente Molina Foix- son los personajes del arruinado y derrotado Shylock y de Antonio, "el mercader de Venecia", tan desdichado al final con su ganancia como el judío con su pérdida, los auténticos protagonistas del mismo.

This is not my favorite Shakespeare play - at times, its great, but generally, not I found a bit weird, even when accounting for when the play was written in the late 1500's.
I think my biggest issue is how Shylock is treated - Shakepeare gives him this great monologue about how he is human and worth respect, but than at the end, Shylock is forced to convert to Christianity. So, why give Shylock this great speech. As for the rest of the story, its a fairly standard Shakespeare - Cross Dressing, Money problems, innocent maids needing to be saved, etc etc. ( )
This is probably my favorite Shakespeare play. It is light and humorous and features a two strong female characters. The storyline is interesting and lively, drawing the reader in with elopement, courting, risky business ventures, and family disputes. Very enjoyable overall. ( )
Siempre es un placer leer a Shakespeare, pero para mí lo más interesante de las relecturas es fijarme en las diferencias culturales de diferentes épocas. No es que Antonio fuera antisemita; es que su actitud refleja la mentalidad común de ese momento en aquel lugar. Es más probable que el autor deformara a Shylock pasándolo por el tamiz de los estereotipos que sabía iban a tener éxito entre su audiencia, que no que diseñara un personaje antisemita como héroe de la acción.
También el retrato de Portia como moderno héroe femenino (como por otra parte tantos de sus personajes de este sexo) nos invita a reflexionar sobre el imaginado ‘retraso’ en apreciación feminista que en la memoria colectiva existe de esta época. ( )

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd; It droppeth, as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blessed; It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes
When he is best, he is a little worse than a man; and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
My meaning in saying he is a good man, is to have you understand me that he is sufficient.
