1 The Merchant of Venice William Shakespeare
2 Unit Opener With your small group, go to one of the small posters around the classroom. Read the statement you find there, and decide whether you agree or disagree. Use a sticky note to explain your group s position on the statement. When you are ready, move to a new poster and repeat this process. When every group has visited every poster, you will be given 1-2 posters and their accompanying sticky notes to synthesize and present to the class.
3 Poster Statements Money can affect my level of happiness. Appearances can be deceiving. Spouses should have the same values. True friends will do anything to support each other. People should always forgive one another. People should keep their promises, no matter what. Parent/child relationships are important in shaping children s characters.
4 Elizabethan England The Merchant of Venice was written between 1596 and 1600 Golden age in English history Queen Elizabeth never married During her reign, England was a Protestant nation Queen Elizabeth was a patron of the arts Period of relative wealth and prosperity Powerful Patriarchy Watch for evidence of male control. Several women will play restricted roles.
5 Anti-Semitism in Elizabethan England Anti-Semitism As you know, Jewish people have suffered terrible persecution throughout history Frequently prevented from owning businesses/land, but allowed to lend money New Testament said usury was sinful, so Christians couldn t lend with interest Jewish people who did were often seen as benefitting from others misfortunes Shakespeare s audiences were well aware of this prejudice against Jews. Officially expelled from England from The Jew of Malta - Christopher Marlowe

7 Literary Terms Allusion Aside Comic Relief Foreshadowing Metaphor Pun Soliloquy Theme Internal Rhyme Irony (verbal, situational, dramatic) Malapropism
8 Characters Antonio - title character, older merchant, good friend Salerio and Solanio - friends of Antonio and Bassanio, comment on play s action Bassanio - young man with expensive taste and rich friends, wants to woo Portia Gratiano - Bassanio s clownish friend, falls in love with Portia s servant Nerissa Lorenzo - Bassanio s friend, falls in love with Shylock s daughter Jessica Portia - intelligent, rich, beautiful noblewoman controlled by her father Nerissa - Portia s handmaid

10 Three Plots Casket Plot Portia s late father helps/hinders her courtship process. Is he taking control, or is he giving her more of a voice that she would have otherwise? Read carefully! Bond Plot Bassanio needs cash, so he turns to his bff Antonio. Antonio s money is at sea, so he sends Bassanio to Shylock. Note the terms of Shylock s loan, and prepare for drama. Ring Plot Rings - those symbols of eternal love - can sure cause trouble...
11 Two Settings Belmont vs. Venice Fairy tale vs. realistic Female vs. male Romantic vs. mercantile Feudal vs. capitalist Folkloric vs. modern Shakespeare likes to set up such dichotomies and then show us their similarities.
