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.

As the most outstanding master of the English Renaissance, Shakespeare was called "the greatest theatrical genius" by Marx.
talents". His works are usually mainly tragic, and this comedy made me rediscover the vividness of his characters, who all seemed to be standing in front of me as if they were standing in front of me, the ugly Shylock, the honest Antonio, the emotional Bassanio, the beautiful and intelligent Baucia, ......
Baucia's female companion** comes to the courtroom to help Antonio. This article writes the true story of a merchant who lived in Venice at that time, and that family and friendship in the world are more important than anything else! There are three main emotions portrayed here, one is the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, the second is the sympathy and support of the Duke and others for Antonio, and the third is everyone's contempt and spurning for Shylock.
In the face of life and death, I think the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio is really touching. Shylock is a hateful and sympathetic figure, Shylock is the devil in Shakespeare's portrayal, dehumanized, plundering a great deal of wealth, and not satisfied, and he will do whatever it takes to deal with whoever stands in his way. He was mercenary and insatiable, but he was also a discriminated Jew.
I like Baucia even more. She is elegant, noble, full of high intelligence, and dares to devote herself to action with wit and decisiveness.
This article let me know that I should not be vain in doing things, I must be upright, I can't leave no room for people and things, and I must always have a kind and compassionate heart, only in this way will I get more people's hearts!

The Merchant of Venice was a great book that I couldn't put down, and it took me three days to read it. After reading it, I was reluctant to let go for a long time, stroking the book cover, and my heart was full of emotion. The portrayal of the characters in The Merchant of Venice is very stark, Antonio is undoubtedly the kindest, in contrast to Shylock's meanness, and Bohisia is the smartest. The personalities of these characters left an indelible impression on me, but what touched me the most was the intent between Antonio and Basanne. Friends are siblings, and for the sake of friends, you can go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.
And Antonio and Basciany are such a pair of friends, the friendship between them, when Basanne fell and fell to the lowest point in his life, Antonio was still the same as before, or even better. Antonio once said to Basanne: "I will pay you a debt and die without complaint".
The friendship between them, or rather, Antonio's friendship with Basanne, touched me the most. Touched and reminded me of myself. I also have a lot of friends, and my parents encourage me to make more friends.
However, the friendship between me and these friends, and the friendship between Antonio and Basanne, is still far off. I can't treat my friends the way Antonio does, my friends can't have friends like Antonio. Because I didn't fully open up to my friends, my friends had reservations about me.
In this way, I can only make some ordinary friends, and if I want to have a few true friends, it is hopeless to continue like this. After watching The Merchant of Venice, I decided to treat my friends wholeheartedly, with an open heart and a sincere heart.
