{"product_id":"the-merchant-of-venice-william-paula-benitez-9781541078710","title":"The Merchant of Venice William Shakespeare","description":"The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio, and while it shares certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps more remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for the character of Shylock. The title character is the merchant Antonio, not the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who is the play's most prominent and more famous villain. Though Shylock is a tormented character, he is also a tormentor, so whether he is to be viewed with disdain or sympathy is up to the audience (as influenced by the interpretation of the play's director and lead actors). As a result, The Merchant of Venice is often classified as one of Shakespeare's problem plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Benitez, William Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541078713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541078710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Paula Benitez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938250129663,"sku":"9781541078710","price":15.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a9b035a7-6a77-4296-b35b-5eb96bc8dd5c.jpg?v=1681434609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-merchant-of-venice-william-paula-benitez-9781541078710","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
