The Merchant of Venice -Tragedy or Comedy?
Loading...
Uploaded by zwoxid on Dec 13, 2007
A video I made for my undergraduate English Literature class about William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
I have also written an essay on this subject which can be found at http://robertenderby.webs.com/Shylock2.pdf
The music I used for the Shylock monologue is by Vangelis (Alexander OST 'One Morning at Pella) and the end theme is Nightwish (Dead Boy's Poem). The clips are from Michael Radfords adaptation of the Merchant of Venice, with additional footage from Charlie Rose interviewing Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons.

It's a pity that Shylock didn't have a better understanding of injuries. All he had to do to screw over Portia and Antonio was to ask for a torch with which to burn off the pound of flesh. Burns don't bleed, so no "christian blood" would hit the floor. :P

@WindwardMix Look on google for act 3 scene 1 i think
-
the book show the real picture of the story the film is kind of changed to fit with the director Michael Radford idea (who is a jew) .....

Where can i find this monologue written out?
-
fuck, Pacino played an amazing Jew, I couldnt believe
how authentic he could make the character

Shylock is acting on exactly the same thing that murdered Jesus. PRIDE. When Neil Diamond left his Jewish wife and then married out of his faith, does his own father then dissown him? When Edwina Currie married a gentile did not her father not dissown her? Is my soul not a slave to the vessel that carries it around? How do I escape the commandment that God has ordered?

i would just like to point out that a comedy by definition is not something funny but something with a happy ending
