Actually, there is no play by Shakespeare called "A Pound of Flesh". The phrase is an important phrase in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. Originally the main characters in this play were Bassanio and Portia, but as time went on, more and more big name actors wanted to play the main character in the subplot, Shylock, to the extent that Shylock is now considered to be the main character (along with Portia). The "Merchant of Venice" himself, a character called Antonio, is not the main character of the play.
