  To Appreciate The Famous Book The Merchant of Veni
 

Shakespeare as England's most outstanding Renaissance artist, was hailed as "the greatest dramatic genius" by Marx. Salma Hayek’s DC Shoes Hats , Take a Look and Make a Comment We have been in contact with the works of Shakespeare from the junior high school , and you can say that it is almost a tragic world. For thousands of years, people have been crying for Romeo and Juliet; again, many people are shocked by the poet-like gloom of the happy and irresolute prince in Hamlet. Neverless, his comedies merit a second reading as well.Make an Inventory of the Reasons of the Popularity of christian louboutin shoes

Shakespeare`s famous The Merchant of Venice approaches an old but never outdated topic, money. Is it the most valuable thing in the world? Is there anything more valuable than money? Moving story of affection, eulogization about love and devotion, witty dialogue, waving and jolting gut,and exaggerated and humous plot, they are all full of legend and romantic colour. The world interweaves with friendship, love and family love leads us to recognize what is the important value in life and what is the worthy ideal we should seek throughout our life.

Antonio borrows 3,000 from Shylock, who is lending money with high interests, in order to help Bassanio to meet a rich and beautiful girl Portia, and makes a deal of a pound of fresh if he fails to return the money. Antonio's total capital were "on the sea" and for some reason merchant failed to come back, so Shylock sued him with a piece of paper. Court coordination failed, because the malicious Shylock didnot want Basaniao's three or ten times a borrower's repayment,but a pound of flesh. During the trial, Portia disguises as a male lawyer and entices Shylock to give up cutting off Antoniao's flesh without getting the repayment. Moreover, Shylock's fortune are herited by his "eloping" daughter Jessica and son-in-law Lorenzo. Seen from the perspective of law, the contracting parties enjoy the freedom of contract. The content of the contract is the product and display of the two parties's thoughts. But there is an important premise: the contract should not violate the social order; otherwise, it is invalid. Obviously, when Shylock evilly set Antonio up by designing the malicious punishment to Antonio`s failure of obeying the contract, he also got enmeshed in a web of his own spinning.

Leave aside the fact that Shylock gets nothing because of extreme greed, let's have a look at Portia's father. The gold, silver and lead boxes he prepares for Portia's choose of a husband respectively consist of a human skeleton, a partrait of a fool and a portrait of Portia. Gold box outside the inscribed: "He who chose me, is going to get all people what they want." Scroll inside was: "All is not gold that glitters. The words of the ancients was not deceptive; the number of people in the world betrayed a lifetime, but only saw my appearance and maggots occupied a gilded tomb. If you are both bold and smart, with strong hands and feet and experienced knowledge you won`t got the following respond: goodbye, advise you to cool your mind." Silver case carved outside: [who chooses me would get what he could." The scroll inside wrote: silver in the fire which burnt seven times; that will never be wrong to judge, must be seven else. Such have but a shadows kiss; there be fools alive, iwis, / Silvered o`er, and so was this. /Take what wife you will to bed, / I will ever be your head./ So begone; you are sped." Leak case carved outside: who chooses me should sacrifice all he owns. The scroll inside wrote: you didn`t choose by appearance and you do get the goal! Glory has been yours and you just stop chasing any longer. If you are satisfied with this end, please accept your fortune. Turn back and kiss you love soulfully. Here we see the wisdom of Baoxi Ya's father and have to applaud for it. In fact, the boxes not only reflect the views of money of people, but also the views of all matters. Yellow Gold is only an analogy and inside the scroll itself is a very good interpretation.

We should not judge events and people on their surface and give the conclusion by first impression in reality. Don't you remember that all is not gold that glitters. Have you noticed that many playboys wear brightly and come in and go out from the luxurious clubs, but they are rotten and corrupted inside. Greatest genius often lies concealed. Real talents do not need packaging fashionable and voluble. [All that glitters is not gold" is the truth. It reminds me of another sentence that real gold will glitter truly. We should keep attention to distinguish the gold is real or not. "The Merchant of Venice" tells me how to see the world, how to do things, how to maintain the correct direction in the pursuit of
