The Merchant of Venice was written by William Shakespeare. It is considered a comedy. The main character is Antonio, the merchant.
Although Shylock is the best-known character from the play, Shylock is not a merchant. He is a usurer-which is the only job Jews were allowed to have in Venice back then. A usurer is a person who lends money and makes money from it by charging interest. The merchant in The Merchant of Venice is Antonio. A merchant sells and trades.
The clown in the Merchant of Venice is Lancelot Gobbo.
