Summary
Bassanio, a noble but poor Venetian, asks his friend Antonio to help him get three thousand ducats to enable him to prosecute fittingly his suit of the rich heiress Portia. Shylock, a Jewish usurer, consents to lend the money to Antonio against a bond by which, in case the sum is not repaid at the appointed day, Antonio shall forfeit a pound of flesh.
