I read ‘Stories from Shakespeare’.
I have written a post about a Shakespeare’s work, but I write about other his works.
The first story is ‘The Merchant of Venice’. This is one of his comedies. The beginning is that Bassanio asks Antonio to lend money to marry Portia. Antonio accepted his needs, but Antonio doesn’t pay back his debt to Shylock because of the lost of his possessions, and he sometimes is nearly killed by him. Bassanio worries about Antonio’s safe and Bassanio, Portia and other pals goes to Venice to help Antonio. Portia pretends she is a lawyer and say to Shylock an unreasonable demand. He gives up giving money from Antonio, what is worse, he must give Antonio a half of his entire fortune. Everything works out peacefully.
After reading this book, I thought this was funny, but the interesting point was that Portia helped Antonio. I was a little disappointed because I had thought there are more interesting points in this story.
The second story is ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. I have written this story once. Good points of this story are the existence of a fairy, magic, and the play played by workmen. It is a funny work.
The third story is ‘Hamlet’. This is one of Shakespeare’s great tragedies. The theme of this story is the revenge by Hamlet on his uncle, the current king. The king plots to kill Hamlet with Laertes. The king uses a poison, but the queen dies by it. Hamlet battles with Laertes, but Lartes is dead and Hamlet finds the fact from him. He kills the king, but he dies by the poison. This is very the tragedy.
After reading these stories, I re-realized the greatness of Shakespeare.
