Merchant of Venice
Merchant of Venice
A comedy is a dramatic work that is light and often humorous or satirical in tone and that usually contains a happy resolution of conflict. Merchant of Venice is a classic example of how to write a funny, entertaining and great story. William Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice consisted of many humorous scenes, great acting and happy resolution of a conflict in the end. All of this fits the bill for a great movie to be produced. A few comical scenes consist of Launcelot Gobbo arguing in his conscience with the fiend about if he should flee the service of the Jew or not; and of course he embraced the counsel of the fiend, even though he was being the devil himself. Another funny scene was when Launcelot Gobbo was talking to his father who was blind in front of Shylocks home. In that scene, Launcelot’s father did not know he was talking to his son. His son decided to have some fun and tell his father he should ask for Master Launcelot not his son and he also said that his son was dead.
Portia, is a wealthy heiress from Belmont. Showed the great acting skills she possessed. In Merchant of Venice, Portia played both a woman role and man role. During a scene in the movie, Portia decided to act as a male lawyer. She acted so well that even her own husband to be Bassanio didn’t know it was actually his wife. Also Nerissa, Portia’s confidante, she also acted as she was a lawyer in order to get to Venice. These two parts in the movie showed that the acting by Portia and Nerissa was great because they had to play both a male and female in the Merchant of Venice.
The Merchant of Venice ends with a very funny, hilarious and touching scene. In the end of the movie, Portia plays a joke on Bassanio. It was about the ring he had promised to not give away and to keep it forever as a symbol of their love for one another. Portia already knew that Bassanio has given his ring away because she was the one who had asked for it
