Which of the following Shakespearean plays features the character Shylock, a moneylender who demands a pound of flesh as collateral for a loan?
- A Hamlet
- B Othello
- C The Merchant of Venice
- D King Lear
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
In The Merchant of Venice, Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, demands a pound of flesh from Antonio, a merchant, as collateral for a loan. This sets in motion a conflict that explores themes of justice, mercy, and prejudice. The play raises questions about the nature of law, the value of human life, and the consequences of revenge.
