The Tragic Merchant of Venice



      In my opinion the play The Merchant of Venice is a tragic one which is

discised as being comic.   Many factors of this play are derived from the current

voice of situation.   The Merchant of Venice could be looked at as more tragic

because of the negative intents from some of the characters in the play.



      Greed and deception are just a couple of the main features from where

many of the decisions are derived.   For example, revenge was an intent that

Sylock had against for Antonio, only to say the least for, greed...   Antonio is

being a set victim for revenge because of his deception against Shylock, and

also for prior intent to do.



      If The Merchant of Venice was to be looked at as more comic, the

scenarios wouldn't be taken as seriously as they should be.   Infact I believe

that The Merchant of Venice written by William Shakespeare was officially

intended to be so in both comic and tragic.   In depth looking and observing The

Merchant of Venice I have seen a small equivalency in the amount of comicness

and tragedy in the play.



      I have come up with the conclusion that William Shakespeare was a great

playwright and must have been an absolute genius to compose the great and

wonderful things that he did.   The Merchant of Venice is excellent in it's way

of describing the characters.   The emotion is spread out thoroughly like warm

butter on hot toast.   The tragedy in The Merchant of Venice is believable and

almost true in a sense of my opinion in relating to greed, human desire, and

most important let not forget, anguish.



      Throughout The Merchant of Venice there are many strong feelings

displayed through powerful lines of contemporary nature, to be truthful.

William Shakespeare most likely wrote this play The Merchant of Venice to

display how human greed could be so consuming to the soul of a person, which he

did very...
