The Merchant of VeniceCourier Corporation, 27.03.2012 - 96 Seiten The Merchant of Venice is an intriguing drama of love, greed, and revenge.

At the play's climax, Shylock insists on the enforcement of a binding contract that will cost the life of the merchant Antonio — inciting Portia to mount a memorable defense. |
