Summary "De Koopman van Venetië" by William Shakespeare is a play written in the late 16th century. The narrative revolves around themes of friendship, love, and the complexities of justice and mercy, as seen through the story of Antonio, a merchant in Venice, who borrows money from the Jewish moneylender Shylock to help his friend Bassanio win the hand of the wealthy heiress Portia. The characters navigate a web of relationships and moral dilemmas in a richly layered exploration of societal prejudices. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Antonio, who feels inexplicably melancholic, which his friends suggest may be due to love. They leave him just as his close friend Bassanio arrives, revealing his financial troubles due to his extravagant lifestyle and his desire to court the beautiful Portia. Bassanio asks Antonio for financial support in his pursuit of Portia, claiming he has squandered his wealth on live freely. Antonio, despite having his assets tied up in shipping ventures, agrees to seek a loan from Shylock, setting the stage for the ensuing conflict and drama centered around love, loyalty, and the harsh realities of commerce and contract within a prejudiced society.
