Part A.the background of this book At this time，the British social contradictions was increasing rapidly：In the countryside, “enclosure movement” was on the progre.A spate of capitalism in the city, the manual factory, the result of the continuous deterioration of the status of the craftsmen and the poor, from 1594 to 1598, and continuous flooding and cold resulted to agricultural crops, soaring prices, farmers and the urban poor are a large number of rebelled against.During this period, the power of the bourgeoisie were more powerful and its temporary alliance with the royal family.Shakespeare's humanism began to feel his contradiction between the ideal and the reality, so after 1596 several comedies, while I was happy optimistic tone, but there have been a growing social satire factors.At this time，the merchant of Venice is the most cynical work in Shakespeare's early comedies.Part B.the introduction of the author William Shakespeare(1564 ~ 1616)is the great playwright in the period of English Renaiance.He is a poet , the European Renaiance humanist literature synthesizer, born in England Warwickshire Stratford town on April 23rd ,1564.There are four representative tragedies “Hamlet” , “Othello”, “King Lear”, “Macbeth”, and four comedies “Twelfth Night”, “A Midsummer Night's Dream,” “The Merchant of Venice”, historical drama “Henry IV,” “Henry V”, “Li Richard II ”and so on.He also wrote 154 sonnets and three or four heads of poetries.He is “the father of the British drama”.Ben Jonson called him “the soul of the era,” and Marx called him “one of humanity's greatest geniuses.” Shakespeare is just an English writer, but he is a world famous writer.Most of his works have been translated into many languages, and his plays are staged in many countries.Part C.the main idea of this book Main characters： Antonio, the merchant of Venice.He is the emerging bourgeoisie busineman.He treasures friendship, for friends borrow money from Shylock and die without hatred;His magnanimity, in the face of Shylock shamele plot, unexpectedly resigned;Faced with the threat of death, he has a Roman hero in a crisis, the death of manhood.In a short, he has a decent, heavy affection, and the quality of urbanity and humanist.Baanio, the friend of Antonio.He is warm, and he has heavy feeling and righteousne, but he do not know the strategy, is relatively weak Shylock, the rich Jewish.He is a representative of the usury capital, is a clam scrooge.He is a real devil.At the same time, he is also a poor man in Christian society.Jeica, the daughter of Shylock.Lorenzo, the lover of Jeica.Portia，the daughter of a gone rich-man.She is well-learned, witty, brave to aid her husband's friend, and has the tutelage of a new era of women.She is a lively, cheerful, generous, humorous and full of wisdom Neria, the maidservant of Portia.Other characters: Morocco and Arragon, the suitors of Portia.Tubal, the friend of Shylock.Launcelot, the servant of Shylock, he acted as a clown.Gobbo, Lancelot’s father.The story: Antonio, the busineman of Venice, in order to help his friend, Baanio, marry Portia, borrowed money to his enemy-Jewish Shylock.If Antonio can not pay back the money as promised, Shylock would cut off one pound of his flesh.Unexpected, Baanio’s ships overturned at sea, so he can’t repay timely, Sherlock was on the court.Steadily abused, Shylock’s daughter Jeica escaped with her lover, Lorenzo, so Sherlock was angry and irritated to go to the Venice Court.He refused to reconciliation definitely and resolutely followed the note clause that he cut a pound of flesh from Antonio.At this time, the story culminates exciting.On the other hand, in the elegant Belmont Manor, the rich and beautiful girl Portia had a deep sigh because her marriage must depend on gold, silver and lead boxes made by his father.Which one can choose the true box was her husband.Portia’s father deprived of her marital autonomy.Fortunately, her affection chose the right box.The above two plots join together in the scene of “court”, Portia dreed as a doctor of law in the moment of thousands of all round shouted 'wait a minute!'and pointed out the pact said that he only desired a pound of flesh, but didn't say that he can get a drop of blood.Shylock naturally can not only cut Antonio's flesh, and not let him bleed.Portia with intellect rescued her husband's friend.After winning this case, Portia pretended not to recognize her husband and wanted his wedding rings as a victory for the home and for pretence blame him, lead to a quarrel of comedy.Finally in an Epiphany baanio, there was a happy ending.The version: The Merchant of Venice has repeatedly been on the big screen, the following is a high-profile version.1914 – A silent film directed by Lois Weber.Ms.Weber was the first American female director of the Merchant of Venice, she also played a role as Portia.1916-A silent British film directed by Walter West.1973-John Sichel

performances Baanio, Lynn Collins performances Portia.There is also a network game Mabinogi Mabinogi adapted the screenplay as the game's main task.Part D.summary Shylock in the merchant of Venice has a deep impreion to me, although he is a miser, and petty revenge-heart heavily who tries his best to revenge all people who have abused him.He even wants to kill the opponents.But I think it's unfair.Because Shakespeare shaped Shylock to be the evil role and incisively and vividly described his sinister and vicious.Antonio is completely beautification: he treasures friendship, for friends borrow money from loan Shylock and die without regret;He manganese, in the face of Shylock shamele plot.Faced with the threat of death, he has in a crisis, the death of manhood like the Roman heroes.In a short, he has a decent, heavy affection, urbane and humanist quality of retting of songs.Even in the 16th century Europe's most powerful and free city Venice, the intolerance of the Jews at the time also can't change the fact.According to law, the Jewish are forced to live in isolation of old factory building wall or slum, the door will be locked after sunset
is guarded by Christians.Any Jews left slum area during the day forced to put on a show that they are “Jew” as to the identity of the red hat.Jews were forbidden to own property, so they can only be usury, and will charge interest on the money borrowed and that is in violation of the law of Christianity.The merchant of Venice they turned a blind eye, but for hostile to the Jewish religious zealots are completely different.They will be beating abuse or even deprived of the rights of Jewish life.And this kind of unfairne is to make Shylock the main reason for abnormal personality.So Shylock is a tragic character.Not he, but the society should be hated, because it’s the sad society that created a tragedy of Shylock.Part E.my feelings
This book shows me many things.After reading this book, I know that the importance of friendship and love.Whenever we feel frustrated, our relatives and friends can help us out.Although money is important, in this world, there are many more important things than money;we shouldn’t be fooled by the phenomenon of surface.In our reality life you can't discriminate against anyone because of his own superiority.At the same time, we should act like Portia because she wasn’t be threatened by the sudden difficulty and face the difficulties bravely.And I think most of us are kindly, but the society can change our characters.In some degree, whether the government is cruel or not can influence the citizens’ characters and thoughts.I do think that Antonio is only used to foil Shylock, a small role.Although Shakespeare satire the Jewish busineman Shylock, he also showed the European government discrimination and exclusion of the Jews.In a word, it strees the point.
