you might as well go stand upon the beach and argue with the sea.  p67

if you offered me six times what you have just offered, i would still take my pound of flesh.   p67

shylock, how can you hope for mercy for yourself when you show none?  p67

to do a great right, do a little wrong and in that way we can save antonio.   p68

if shylock cuts deep enough, i’ll pay him back with all my heart.   p68

all he wanted was justice.   p71ⅰ.brief statements based on the unitthe merchant of venice is the most outstanding “romantic” comedy written by william shakespeare, the greatest british playwright and poet of renaissance. this play is mainly about the process of a story that shylock, a cruel and greedy moneylender, is punished by antonio, a merchant of venice, with the help of his friends—portia and bassanio. the central theme of the play is the triumph of love(between portia and bassanio)and friendship(between antonio and bassanio)over insatiable greed and brutality(as presented by shylock).a happy ending is brought about when shylock is punished. here we can see the true progressive significance of the merchant of venice and of its author :consistent hatred for the oppressors and sympathy for the oppressed. meanwhile,it provides us an opportunity to learn some language points as well as revising direct and indirect speech.
