Shakespeare: The Merchant of Venice |Analysis |Notes|Shylock

Shakespeare: The Merchant of Venice|introduction |notes|analysis |CIE |IGCSE |Characters
Shakespeare has borrowed the plot of TMof V from this story, spicing it with his own humour 🤣 to end it as a comedy. Yet, the idea of anti-Semitism pervades, as the audience condemns the jew for the inhuman treatment of Ansaldo in the source and Antonio in Shakespeare’s play respectively. For Shakespeare, TMofV is…

Shakespeare: The Merchant of Venice | source |Analysis |Notes
No one who reads the following brief summary of the First Tale of the Fourth Day (it is worked on the Boccaccio-Straparola pattern) will need to seek further for the source of the Merchant of Venice save in excess of that pedantry which is but idleness of the mind. Put in brief, the story comes…

King Lear: Poetic Justice | Shakespeare | A-levels |CIE|Theme |Notes|Analysis
King Lear is full of instances of poetic justice, yet the idea is usually set aside as the villains get their just deserts by the end of the play, while even the good and deserving suffer. Hence, this mixed end leaves a bittersweet taste for the audience. Yet, it is only with the death of…
