Although Bassanio owes his friend Antonio a great deal of money, he must borrow more to make a good impression when he courts his true love, Portia. However, Antonio is short of cash and must borrow from the lender, Shylock. More problems arise when Antonio’s ships are wrecked, leaving him penniless when Shylock’s loan is due. Bassanio must now find a way to save his friend’s life, but help is on the way from an unexpected source!

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.

The art is dull, occasionally incompetent, and Vindo Kumar......more

La incoherencia entre lo que piensa el humano sobre los demás y lo que realiza el humano al convivir con los demás. Las expectativas de lo que es el mundo chocan con aquello que se desea.......more

Compelling version of this story. Artwork well done, overall understandable dialog make this a great introduction to a classic story. Fun to see the origins of some common phrases... "if you cut me, do I not bleed?"......more

I have to give 4/5 because graphical novel version gets 5/5 but it cannot match the prose of the Bard himself.......more
