Synopsis
In The Merchant of Venice , the path to marriage is hazardous. To win Portia, Bassanio must pass a test prescribed by her father's will, choosing correctly among three caskets or chests. If he fails, he may never marry at all. Bassanio and Portia also face a magnificent villain, the moneylender Shylock. In creating Shylock, Shakespeare seems to have shared in a widespread prejudice against Jews. Shylock would have been regarded as a villain because he was a Jew. Yet he gives such powerful expression to his alienation due to the hatred around him that, in many productions, he emerges as the hero. Portia is most remembered for her disguise as a lawyer, Balthazar, especially the speech in which she urges Shylock to show mercy that "droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven."

- e***a (68)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAll books were new and in great condition, there was a small bend on one corner but I’m okay with that as it probably happens during shipping. I bought this set to display on my bookshelf because I love the covers. Shipping was okay, I did place the order on a Saturday so the packing took a little longer but once I got a tracking number the books arrived within a couple of days. Would purchase with this seller again.
- c***e (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI received the books very quickly and in great condition. There was a bit of problem when I received the books because I quickly realized that one of the books was missing. When I contacted the seller, they responded right away and fixed the issue. I am very pleased with my order, and I would definitely order from them again.
