The Merchant of Venice revolves around its title merchant, Antonio, but is perhaps most memorable for the Jewish moneylender Shylock and his passionate cries for the famous "pound of flesh" that he insists on collecting for Antonio's debt. Though classified as a comedy, and inevitably love and happiness do prevail, The Merchant of Venice is a complicated play whose intensely dramatic scenes often overshadow the comic ones; it is no wonder why it remains one of Shakespeare's most famous, and controversial, plays.
