The Merchant of Venice is a tragic comedy by William Shakespeare. Antonio, a wealthy merchant, is approached by his friend Bassanio for funds. He intends to woo Portia, an heiress, who is being kept from marriage by the will of her dead father. Invested abroad, Antonio appeals to Shylock, an abused Jewish moneylender for the loan. Full of bitterness for a man who has personally mistreated him, Shylock accepts the bond but demands a gruesome collateral: a pound of the merchant's flesh. When Antonio defaults on the loan he is faced with the knife and the weight of the law but Shylock is about to find out that a knife can cut both ways.
