In The Merchant of Venice, the penniless but attractive Bassanio seeks, and finally wins, the hand of the fabulously wealthy Portia. But even as the play provokes laughter, it also provokes something disturbing, as Bassanio's courtship is actually financed by the magnificent villain Shylock the moneylender -- the focus of anti-Semitic sentiment, and one of the most controversial yet strangely sympathetic of Shakespeare's characters, whose actions and whose treatment in the play are still debated to this day.This simplified retelling of the Shakespearean comedy also includes activities related to the text.

Set in a chilling circus environment, this book invites readers to experience a haunting spectacle filled with eerie performances and unsettling characters. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, as the narrative unfolds around the strange and mysterious happenings that captivate an audience drawn to the macabre. Prepare for an exploration of fear and fascination, where the line between entertainment and terror blurs, promising a gripping adventure for those brave enough to enter.
