The Merchant of Venice is a work by Shakespeare that goes like this: Bassanio was a typical lover who fell hopelessly in love with the beautiful Baucia. In order to win her heart, he must possess a fortune.
It is also necessary to solve the dilemma that Baucia's father has set for suitors.
Bassanio wanted to marry Baucia, but he had no money and had no choice but to turn to Antonio for help. Antonio was a successful Venetian merchant with a fleet but a lack of liquidity. In order to help his old friend fulfill his wishes, Antonio borrows money from his nemesis, Sherlock.
Shylock, a Jew who made a living by lending money at high interest rates, was frowned upon in the city.
Antonio was not accustomed to Shylock, and he harshly condemned the evil deeds of the excesses. Sherlock had always held a grudge against Antonio, and he simply agreed to Antonio's loan, demanding that a contract be signed that would require him to cut off a pound of flesh if he failed to repay the loan on time.
Convinced that his old friend would return it on time, Antonio signed the contract. So, Bassanio went to Belmondo with a huge amount of money and proposed to Baucia. But Bassanio didn't expect that Baucia had another rival Narissa by her side, who was not only illustrious but also wealthy, and could solve the problem at any time.
At the same time, Antonio's fleet returned empty-handed. Shylock's daughter, Jessica, also eloped with Bassanio's friend Rorenzo with a large amount of money. Sherlock was annoyed and pressed at Antonio.
Hearing that his old friend was in a critical situation, Bassanio left Belmondo and returned home to find a solution.
Just before Bassanio arrives, Antonio's contract has expired, and Shylock demands that he fulfill his promise to cut off a pound of flesh, and the two go to court for this. In court, Sherlock demanded that his contract with Antonio be fulfilled. Pretending to be a lawyer, Baucia agrees that Shylock will cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh according to the contract, but it must be strictly executed, that is, no more or less cut, not a drop of blood, and no harm to his life.
Sherlock couldn't do it. In this way, Baucia skillfully saved Antonio's life. In the end, the truth is revealed, and Antonio regains his possessions.
In fact, the principle of this book is very simple, it reflects not only the world's view of money, but also the view of everything. In real life, we can't just look at things and evaluate people based on their appearances. The so-called real people don't show their faces, and real talents don't have to be packaged so well.
As long as it's gold, it will shine after all." This requires us to keep our eyes open and distinguish between inner gold and outer gold.
The Merchant of Venice tells us how to see the world, how to do things, and to be realistic and pragmatic is the principle we adhere to.

Shakespeare's famous play The Merchant of Venice explores the age-old and timeless subject of money. Is money the most valuable thing in the world? What is more precious than money?
The touching family story, the eulogy of love and dedication, the witty dialogue, the plot of the twists and turns, the exaggerated and hilarious plot, is full of legends and romance. The world of friendship, love, and family affection is intertwined, leading us to understand what is the important value ...... in lifeThe witty language contains profound connotations.
Not to mention Sherlock's greed to get his head and nothing, but also look at the three boxes of gold, silver, and lead that Baucia's father customized for his precious daughter, which contained the skeleton of a dead man, the portrait of a fool, and the portrait of Baucia.
Written on the outside of the gold box reads: "Whoever chooses me will receive what all desires." "The paper roll inside is:
It's not all the sparkle that shines, and the words of the ancients are not deceiving; How many people in the world have sold their lives, but they have seen my form, maggots occupy gilded graves. If you are bold and intelligent, strong in your hands and feet, and knowledgeable but old, you will not get such an answer: goodbye, I advise you to cool this heart.
Engraved on the outside of the lead box reads: "Whoever chooses me must sacrifice everything he has." "The paper roll inside is:
You chose not to rely on your appearance, and sure enough, you were hit by the heart! Now that victory is in your arms, don't look elsewhere. If you are satisfied with the result, accept your luck, quickly turn your body, and give your love a deep kiss.
Seeing this, we have to applaud the wisdom of Baucia's father. In fact, the box reflects not only the world's view of money, but also the view of all affairs, gold, silver and bronze are just a metaphor, and the paper scroll itself is a good interpretation.
In real life, we don't just look at things and evaluate people based on their appearance. Aren't the oranges outside of the gold and jade still ruined? Some children of rich families can only wear gold and silver, but they don't learn and don't know how to do it.
The so-called real people don't show their faces, and real talents don't have to be packaged into the time, and they don't necessarily talk about it. "It's not all the sparkle that is **", that's true, and I also think of a saying about gold: "As long as it's gold, it will shine after all".
This requires us to keep our eyes open and distinguish between inner gold and outer gold.
In real life, we should not be vain in our actions. One step at a time, real work can be done, the Great Leap Forward, the exaggerated wind is this suffering, high yield is by no means blown out. It's the same with teaching, opportunistic and small actions, and it doesn't seem like a good thing to be in a hurry.
The Merchant of Venice shows me how to see the world, how to do things, and to be realistic and pragmatic is the principle we adhere to.

Antonio was unable to repay the money on time due to a shipwreck, so Sherlock filed a lawsuit to demand that Antonio fulfill the loan agreement.
