| Summary |
A blend of tragic and comic material, this is one of Shakespeare's most ambiguous plays. The crux of the ambiguity lies in the character of the Jewish moneylender, Shylock. The play's central theme is really the conflict between the world of legislation and the world of mercy. The play has wonderful, contradictory ambiguities |
