He turns to his merchant friend, Antonio, who is forced to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. When Antonio's business falters, repayment becomes impossible--and by the terms of the loan agreement, Shylock is able to demand a pound of Antonio's flesh. Portia cleverly intervenes, and all ends well (except of course for Shylock). 4aDrama 4aJews 4aMoneylenders 4aShylock (Fictitious Character) 4aJuvenile Drama 4aPlays 4aEnglish Literature 4aHistory
