What jewelry is used in Shakespeare's plays?
Rings are important in many Shakespeare plays. In Merchant of Venice, Bassanio and Graziano promise their wives never to take off their wedding rings then promptly give them to Antonio's lawyer and his clerk, who happen to be their wives. A similar pledge ring is given and abused in The Two Gentlemen of Verona and also in All's Well that Ends Well, where Bertram gives his ring away to Diana, thus enabling Helena to get it. In another Verona play, Juliet gives a ring to Romeo. In Twelfth Night, Olivia sends a ring to Viola (disguised as Cesario), pretending that Viola lost it and it is being returned. In Merchant of Venice Jessica, along with her good-for-nothing husband Lorenzo, not only steal her father's turquoise wedding ring, but then on a whim trade it for a monkey. In Cymbeline, Postumus bets his wedding ring that Iachimo can't seduce Postumus' wife Imogen. In Comedy of Errors, Antipholus of Ephesus orders a gold chain which is then delivered to his twin brother. The Ephesian Antipholus gets into big trouble when he refuses to pay for goods he didn't get. In As You Like It, Rosalind gives Orlando a chain when he embarks on the wrestling match. Iachimo in Cymbeline fakes the proof of his having seduced Imogen by stealing her bracelet, which was her wedding gift from her husband. Duncan gives a jewel to Lady Macbeth, not that it does him any good. And of course there are lots of crowns and coronets, if they count. Directors can add jewelery not specifically mentioned in the text. In Polanski's 1971 Macbeth, Macbeth is given a chain as an emblem of his new title as Thane of Cawdor. In Ken Branagh's 1989 Henry V, Brian Blessed as Exeter rips the chains from the necks of the three traitors as they are stripped of their titles and sentenced to death.
Which saying is closest in meaning to Shakespeare's saying All that glitters is not gold?
It means that just because something looks brand new and shiny and looks like it'd be fun doesnt mean that it can bring you true happiness. Or at least that's what I got from it. Generally, just because it looks good on the outside doesn't mean that it is actually any good; appearances can be deceiving. The saying is a misquotation of Shakespeare's "all that glisters is not gold", the message given to the Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice, when he is sure that the gold casket is the right one to choose to get to marry Portia.
How does Shylock react to the abusive treatment he receives at the hands of Christian Venetians?
Badly. Shylock, like many Jews, was forced into moneylending as a way of making money, because it was illegal for Jews to enter into kinds of commerce that involved ownership of substantial assets. At the same time as the Christians used his services, they held him and all the other Jews in contempt. He specifically mentions that Antonio had spit on him and called him a dog, and we see this to be true, as he calls him "devil" as in "the devil can quote Scripture to his own purpose." At the end of the play he is treated abominably. On the pretext that he is a "foreigner" in the city where he has lived his whole life, his money is taken from him and given to his goyische and feckless son-in-law, and he is forced to renounce his religion and practise Christianity. No wonder he leaves on the line "I am not well."
