    A wonderful literary work decomposed into motifs and themes.
    It does make it look a bit like a technical exercise, a trade with set rules and so.

    "The Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare is a complex play that explores themes of love, justice, and prejudice. The character of Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, is central to the narrative and invites critical analysis. The play raises questions about societal norms, mercy, and the consequences of revenge.
    Shakespeare cleverly portrays the ambiguity of characters, blurring the lines between hero and villain. The Merchant of Venice prompts reflection on the nature of mercy and the consequences of discrimination. Shylock's demand for a pound of Antonio's flesh is a metaphor for the harshness of justice when fueled by personal vendettas.
    Additionally, the play is notable for its exploration of anti-Semitism. Shylock's character challenges audiences to confront their own biases and consider the humanity behind the stereotypes. The caskets and the bond subplot add layers to the narrative, reflecting on the themes of choice, appearances, and true worth.
    Ultimately, "The Merchant of Venice" stands as a thought-provoking work that invites critical examination of societal norms, justice, and the complexities of human nature.

    Excellent!!! I am deeply impressed by your comments on the hypocrisy of the Christian community.......on the irony of situation. Portia appeals passionately to Shylock to be merciful to Antonio. But she shows little mercy to the old, alienated, helpless and grief- stricken jew. All his wealth.........the source of his livelihood is forfeited. The worst of all, he is forced to renounce his FAITH------- One of the FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS. Thus Portia, however noble, gracious and wise she may appear to be, she commits a heinous crime against HUMANITY. Does Christianity approve of forced conversion? Some critics say that Shakespeare himself is prejudiced against the Jews and towards the Christians. But, that's a misinterpretation. He has always been objective, impartial and unprejudiced. The ending of the TRIAL SCENE is ample proof.

    Why would Shylock being a jew be problematic? That seems like a rather unfortunate statement bordering on being problematic. Why would you think a jew being in finance and banking is "Problematic"? Dont forget that Shylock planned to murder a man and was lucky he was not executed. If Shylock had only changed to Christianity then he would have faced no hatred, he brought his misfortunes on himself by living in a Christian country while refusing to be Christian, if he did not like the way he was treated he could always have moved to Palestine or North Africa. Shylock was NOT limited to living in the Ghetto or working in Banking, he could have left Venice and lived and worked however he wished, or simply converted to Christianity. Shylock CHOSE to live in the Ghetto, he was not forced.

    The flat Tire: 1)
    The Plague is the flat Tyre. The renaissance the replacement allowing the automobile to reach its destination. Unfortunately the inspiration and wisdom of the artistic Renaissance was dismissed & Europe entered the Rothchild experiment, the 17 century becomes the era of correction, bringing the Rothchild experiment to its zenith 1776/1789/ “the creation of Republics” Democratic elections & presidential governments. Industrial revolution slavery & a fast and well deserved technological development. Quality of life became better to most humans comfort a longer life and many other benefits to the many. Climate change viruses deceases COVID 20/22 is the current plague of the 21 century, The coming Renaissance is once again requested. The flat tire needs a replacement to continue the journey with the 4 wheels on the automobile. 2) The actual 21 century ends the Rothchild experiment the Republic & the end of the current presidential Democratic realm. However to continue the journey a replacement must be found, the automobile cannot advance with only 3 wheels, “STAGNATION” we need to replaced with the spare Tire to reach the nearest garage. Replace Tire with the proper one to continue the journey and restructure society to able our human kind to survive the negative damages created the previous years that brought us positive comfort a longer life & better living.
    1) is a deflated pneumatic tire, which can cause the rim of the wheel to ride on the tire tread or the ground potentially resulting in loss of control of the vehicle or irreparable damage to the tire.
    2) Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending the rule over peoples and other countries, for extending political and economic access, power and control, often through employing hard power, especially military force, but also soft power
