Summary
In 16th-century Venice, the merchant Antonio borrows money from the Jewish moneylender Shylock to help his friend Bassanio woo the wealthy heiress Portia. When Antonio cannot repay the loan, Shylock demands the agreed-upon penalty: a pound of his flesh. The dispute lands in court, where a disguised Portia intervenes to argue the case.
