THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
The Merchant of Venice is a 16th-century play, one of Shakespeare's most famous -and controversial- plays, for its depictions of anti-Semitism. This is an intriguing drama of love, greed, and revenge. At its heart, the play contrasts the characters of the maddened and vengeful Shylock, a Venetian moneylender, with the gracious, level-headed Portia, a wealthy young woman besieged by suitors. At the play's climax, Shylock insists on the enforcement of a binding contract that will cost the life of the merchant Antonio -inciting Portia to mount a memorable defense.
In this richly plotted drama, Shylock, whom Shakespeare endowed with all the depth and vitality of his most significant characters, is not alone in his villainy. In scene after scene, a large cast of ambitious and scheming characters demonstrates that honesty is a quality often strained when matters of love and money are concerned.
The gravity and suspense of the play's central plot, together with its romance, have made The Merchant of Venice a favorite of audiences and one of the most studied and performed of Shakespeare's plays. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio and sharing certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is most remembered for its dramatic scenes and is best known for Shylock and his famous speech on humanity. Also notable is Portia's speech about the quality of mercy.

SHAKESPEARE WILLIAM
Bautizado el 26 de abril de 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon, - 23 de abril de 1616, Stratford-upon-Avon.
William Shakespeare fue un poeta, dramaturgo y actor inglés, considerado el más grande autor dramático de todos los tiempos. Resulta muy difícil hablar de Shakespeare sin caer en tópicos. A pesar de que sus obras se escribieron a caballo entre los siglos XVI y XVII y se representaron en un teatro modesto, la inmensa mayoría han sobrevivido, se siguen representando en todo el mundo y forman parte del acervo cultural. Paradójicamente, la vida del llamado "cisne de Avon" sigue envuelta de misterio. Por no saber, no se sabe con seguridad ni el día en que nació. De hecho, existen conspiranoicos que aseguran que en realidad las obras no las escribió él, sino que simplemente las firmó, y que el verdadero autor fue Edward de Vere, XVII conde de Oxford, que se escondió tras la figura del actor. En cualquier caso, lo importante es su legado. Shakespeare cultivó con igual acierto drama y comedia. De su vasta obra cabe destacar Hamlet, Macbeth, Otelo, El rey Lear, Mucho ruido y pocas nueces y Romeo y Julieta.
