Renowned British poet and writer Shakespeare’s work should be perused in the relevant literature discourse, but I believe it should also be examined legally to develop the legal mind and logic. Before dipping into the legal aspect of Merchant of Venice, it would be appropriate to paraphrase the play. Aside from a couple of exceptions, Latin comedies revolve around a young boy’s troubles in love affairs. In Latin comedies, the young lover has a companion, apart from the trusted crafty slave, who helps him in romance or any straits he experiences.
