Summary[


edit


]

< br>


Bassanio, a young


Venetian


of noble rank, wishes to woo the beautiful and wealthy


Belmont. Having squandered his estate, he needs 3,000


ducats


to subsidise his expenditures as a


suitor. Bassanio approaches his friend


Antonio


, a wealthy merchant of Venice who has previously


and repeatedly bailed him out. Antonio agrees, but since he is cash-poor



his ships and


are busy at sea



he promises to cover a bond if Bassanio can find a lender, so Bassanio turns to


Jewish moneylender Shylock and names Antonio as the loan's guarantor.


Antonio has already made an enemy of Shylock through his outspoken


antisemitism


, and also


because Antonio's habit of lending money without interest forces Shylock to charge lower rates.


Shylock is at first reluctant to grant the loan, citing abuse he has suffered at Antonio's hand, but


finally agrees to lend the sum to Antonio without interest upon one condition: if Antonio is unable


repay it at the specified date, Shylock may take a


pound


of Antonio's flesh. Bassanio does not want


Antonio to accept such a risky condition; Antonio is surprised by what he sees as the


generosity (no



interest



is asked for), and he signs the contract. With money at hand,


Bassanio leaves for Belmont with his friend Gratiano, who has asked to accompany him. Gratiano


a likeable young man, but is often flippant, overly talkative, and tactless. Bassanio warns his


companion to exercise self-control, and the two leave for Belmont and Portia.


Meanwhile in Belmont, Portia is awash with suitors. Her father left a


will


stipulating each of her


suitors must choose correctly from one of three caskets



one each of gold, silver and lead. If he


picks the right casket, he gets Portia. The first suitor, the luxurious Prince of Morocco, chooses the


gold casket, interpreting its slogan


to Portia. The second suitor, the conceited Prince of Arragon, chooses the silver casket, which


proclaims


merit. Both suitors leave empty-handed, having rejected the lead casket because of the baseness of


its material and the uninviting nature of its slogan:


hath.


Bassanio ponders his choice, members of Portia's household sing a song which says that


(not true love) is


[1]


prompting Bassanio to disregard



At Venice, Antonio's ships are reported lost at sea. This leaves him unable to satisfy the bond.


Shylock is even more determined to exact revenge from Christians after his daughter Jessica had


fled home and eloped with the Christian Lorenzo, taking a substantial amount of Shylock's wealth


with her, as well as a turquoise ring which was a gift to Shylock from his late wife, Leah. Shylock


has Antonio brought before court.


At Belmont, Bassanio receives a letter telling him that Antonio has been unable to return the loan


taken from Shylock. Portia and Bassanio marry, as do Gratiano and Portia's handmaid Nerissa.


Bassanio and Gratiano then leave for


Venice


, with money from Portia, to save Antonio's life by


offering the money to Shylock. Unknown to Bassanio and Gratiano, Portia has disguised herself as


servant, Balthazar, to seek the counsel of Portia's cousin, Bellario, a lawyer, at


Padua


.
