# El Marxant de Venecia

By William Shakespeare.

"El Marxant de Venecia" by William Shakespeare is a play written between 1596 and 1598. When Antonio, a Venetian merchant, defaults on a loan provided by the Jewish moneylender Shylock, he faces fatal consequences: a pound of his own flesh. Though classified as a comedy, the play is best remembered for its dramatic tension and Shylock's famous demand. It features celebrated speeches on humanity and mercy, while sparking enduring debate about prejudice and justice. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
