Abstract
Shakespeare's twisted comedy The Merchant of Venice follows the story of two friends, Antonio and Bassanio, who are willing to risk everything in the pursuit of Bassenio's love for the fair and widely desired Portia. By her father's rule, Portia's suitors must acquire her hand in marriage through riddles and tests of wit, and must be well furnished with ducats to compete for her love. But when the men strike a deal with meticulous moneylender, Shylock, he demands more than just a return of the money they wish to borrow - he asks the men for something 'closer to the heart'.
