The Merchant of Venice: A Tragicomedy Patricia Green INTRODUCTION Shakespeare in the High School Classroom The Merchant of Venice‚ by William Shakespeare‚ does not fit the conventional definitions of a tragedy or a comedy. It is categorized as a comedy‚ although one of the two distinct plotlines is a tragedy.

Joe Nagooga Mr. Harris LA 11 May 9‚ 2013 The Merchant of Venice Tragic or Comedy Anti-Semitic or not In my opinion‚ I think the merchant of Venice is more of a tragic play than a comedy. The merchant of Venice is more of a tragic play because of its negative intents from the characters in the play. Greed‚ deception‚ and hatred are couple of negative intents.

Parent-Child Relationship Between Jessica and Shylock in The Merchant of Venice After reading The Merchant of Venice‚ we should ask ourselves if Shylock‚ who many people perceive as tragedy stricken and victimized‚ is in fact so hard done by after all. When it comes to family matters‚ I believe that Shylock is the ultimate cause behind his awful relationship with Jessica. In this play‚ Shakespeare portrays an old fashioned child-parent relationship in which the child feels inferior to the parent
