A review by caenerys_
The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

4.0

Honestly just so good. I really enjoyed the themes explored in this play and the way characters interact. It is strange that this was initially written as a comedy and I wonder what that says about Shakespeare. While the play is criticised for being anti-semetic I wonder if its purpose is more to highlight anti-semitism, especially when you look at Shylock's famous speech.
