What the conflict between justice and mercy is as depicted in the merchant of Venice?

I always try to view the difference between justice and mercy as complex as the difference between Shylock and Portia, the Jew and the Christians. It is quite interesting that Mercy is such a central theme in the play because in a way, it is absent. Shylock seeks just with the absence of mercy while Portia seeks Justice with the seasoned or flavoured by mercy. In the end, even Portia discards the mercy that she so advocates. I would say the difference between mercy and justice (especially in the play) is what law people call the difference between equity and justice. Justice is set in stone and wrong and right are easily distinguishable while mercy is more based on compassion and thus is not necessarily justice. For Shylock to be served Justice, he has to deny Antonio mercy. In return, for Portia to be equally just, she chooses to be strictly law abiding with the absence of mercy. Hope this makes sense, Bezi


What did Shakespeare say love is?

He never personally said what love is, only implied through his work. It's a matter of opinion, but one would think by the outcomes he wrote; love is tragedy. Although there are some plays where love leads to the death of both lovers (Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra), the death of one of the lovers (The Two Noble Kinsmen), or the unhappiness of both lovers (Troilus and Cressida), and others where the issue is ambiguous (The Duke and Isabel in Measure for Measure, Helena and Bertram in All's Well, Jessica and Lorenzo in Merchant of Venice, Petruchio and Kate in The Taming of the Shrew ), in most cases love enables the characters to overcome their difficulties and find happiness in the end (The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice (except Jessica and Lorenzo), Cymbeline, A Winter's Tale and The Tempest) for the 2/14 NYT xword puzzle, love is "blind"


Lesson learned in this story merchant of Venice?

It is a dangerous business trying to find "moral lessons" in Shakespeare's plays, because what the characters say and do is what they say and do. Whether it is good or bad is something the audience, the director and the actors bring to the table. In an earlier age, the Merchant of Venice was used by anti-semitic people to say anti-semitism is good. Nowadays, it is much more likely to be used to say that anti-semitism is bad. In fact it says neither; it only says that racism exists, and where it exists it begets more hatred. In an earlier age, Portia and the Duke were looked on as models of mercy and kindness in their treatment of Shylock. Nowadays they are more likely to be seen as smug, self-satisfied hypocrites who are happy to dress their cruel treatment of Shylock up as kindness. Either way, it is clear that Shylock made a tactical error in trusting to the Christian establishment (in the form of the law) to carry out his revenge on the Christians, personified by him in the person of the unfortunate Antonio. In an odd way, the subplot of Merchant of Venice is a revenge story like Hamlet or Titus Andronicus, and has the same kind of result: revenge results in misery and disaster. Unlike the others, Shylock's revenge only brings misery and disaster on himself. But unlike the others, Shylock is seeking revenge not against one person who has wronged him, but against all those who are in power and who have persecuted him and the other Jews. In any case, he would have been better off to have taken the offer of settlement made to him.

Why did the witches made it their mission to kill Macbeth in the play The Merchant of Venice?

If this is perchance from the play The Merchant of Venice by William Snakesbeer, the one in which Howard and Juliet are murdered by Othello, the king of Denmark and his daughters Regan, Goneril and Joyce, then it was as revenge for getting food poisoning from a Big Macbethburger. If, however, you are alluding to the works of William Shakespeare, there are no witches in The Merchant of Venice and the ones in Macbeth don't make it their mission to kill him. You need to find the Snakesbeer version.

Does anyone have information on Marco Polo?

Marco Polo was an adventurer/explorer born in Venice, Italy. He was a Christian merchant whose travels are recorded in "Il Milione," a book which did much to introduce Europeans to Central Asia and China. He learned about trading from talking with his father and uncle, who travelled through Asia and met the famous Kublai Khan. In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Marco for the first time. The three of them embarked on an epic journey to Asia, returning after 24 years to find Venice at war with Genoa; Marco was imprisoned and dictated his stories to a cellmate. He was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married and had three children. He died in 1324, and was buried in San Lorenzo.
