Defeating the enemy, light-heartedness and happy endings for lovers are all elements of a comedy. The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare proves that love conquers all and that you can always defeat the enemy. Even if a pound of flesh is the difference between life and death, or if the wrong person chooses the coffin that will decide your fate. For example, the merchant of Venice, Antonio, not only survives the fate of having a pound of flesh taken from his body due to his friend being unable to repay his relationship with a man seen as the devil, but he gets three times the his money back and the bad guy is eliminated. Not to mention that Antonio's best friend, Bassanio, not only repays the bond and pays off the debt to help his friend, but also marries a rich wife. In contrast, Portia, who had been bound by her dead father to marry a man she could never love, cheated her fate and married the man she truly loved. What makes this a comedy is clearly evident; the villain is defeated and destroyed, and a happy ending is given to those who deserve it such as Christians. Antonio is melancholy at first although he doesn't know much about why. It turned out that he could not keep his closest friend, Bassanio, debt-free because he had no money at the time, and was watching Bassanio leave him to look for love. Bassanio wants to appear rich to Portia, so they go to Venice in search of money for Bassanio. They end up making a deal with Shylock, a Jew. Shylock isn't all that cooperative due to bullying from Christians, like Bassanio and Antonio. For the audience, this is funny because they see that they are hurting Jews with their words. While it turns......middle of the sheet......n. Furthermore, Antonio's closest companion, Bassanio, not only repays the bail and escapes his obligation to help his companion, but also marries a rich wife. Interestingly, Portia, who was forced by her dead father to marry a man she could never love, cheated her fate and married the man she rightfully adored. If there are evil devils in your way it is possible to overcome them, with love in your heart. This brings lightheartedness to the show; no one is discouraged, and people rejoice at the result: that love conquers all, and Christians emerge victorious. A 16th century comedy has to do this because otherwise it wouldn't be a comedy. Many times in life we ​​find ourselves faced with people or obstacles to overcome, but if you enter not with ignorance and arrogance, but with love, you manage to defeat it: emerging victorious.
