In order to win the wealthy Portia's hand in marriage, Bassanio thinks he needs money to impress her. He goes to his friend Antonio for help, but Antonio's money is tied up in ships. Antonio brings him to Shylock, a Jewish moneylender.

This is an unabridged version of playwright William Shakespeare's dark comedy, first published in England in 1600.
