In part, certainly. The story of Bassanio and Portia's courtship is exclusively romantic, and the episode of the rings is clearly romantic comedy. At one time, this was considered to be the main plot of the play, but now the Shylock plot, which was formerly a subplot, is considered to have much more dramatic potential and is viewed as the main plot. Even within that subplot, there is a romantic sub-sub plot, if you will, which is the story of Lorenzo and Jessica.
