`The Merchant of Venice` is one of Shakespeare`s most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may well seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. He is a character so intense that he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama, both gratifying and troubling. The lovers may eventually rejoice, but there are strange discords before the final harmony is achieved. Though The `Merchant of Venice` offers some of the traditional pleasures of comedy, it also exposes the perennial operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.
