William Shakespeare's 'भेनिसको व्यापारी' (The Merchant of Venice) is a renowned play set in 16th-century Venice. It follows Bassanio, who needs funds to court the wealthy Portia. His friend, the merchant Antonio, secures a loan from the Jewish moneylender Shylock, agreeing to a perilous bond: a pound of his own flesh should the debt go unpaid. When Antonio's fortunes turn, the terms of the bond lead to a dramatic courtroom confrontation, where Portia's intelligence is put to the ultimate test.
