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.

Shakespeare's play was never called The Jew of Venice. It was always The Merchant of Venice. You may have been thinking of Christopher Marlowe's play, The Jew of Malta.
There is no masked ball in the Merchant of Venice. Sorry. Not in Shakespeare's play, anyway.
