Basic introduction

Q/R- Q:Quote R:Rhetorical question- a question you don't have to answer.

T-Title: 'The Merchant of Venice'.
A-Author: William Shakespeare.
K-Key argument: Use words from the question. What are you arguing.  A key moment that shocked the reader was when Antonio agreed to forfeit a pound of flesh to Shylock if he didn't repay his bond.
O-outline: the 3 things you are getting to write abut red white and blue. He was wiling to die for money to give Bassanio, Shylock and Antonio hate each other and Shylock doesn't show mercy.

Example paragraph, 
"If you wrong us, shall we not revenge?..." (Shakespeare Shylock) have you ever felt like taking revenge? in William Shakespeare 'The Merchant of Venice' a key moment that shocked the reader was when Antonio agreed to forfeit a pound of flesh to Shylock if he didn't repay his bond. this moment was shocking, outrageous and fascinating.  This moment was important to the text as a whole because Shylock and Antonio didn't like each other but still agreed on the bond, Antonio as willing to risk his life for Bassanio and Shylock did not show mercy in claiming his bond.

Basic body paragraph x3
Point - The moment when Antonio agreed to the bond was shocking because Shylock and Antonio didn't get along.
Evidence - Antonio was a merchant and Shylock mad a living lending people money with interest. While Shylock charged interest, Antonio lent money without interest and scorned Shylock for doing so. He also spat at Shylock and called him "cutthroat dog".
Explain (how the evidence explains the point) - Therefore, the reader is shocked to discover Antonio and Shylock can come to an agreement about money lending. It is also shocking because when shylock calls Antonio out for the way he treats him, Antonio tells Shylock that he will spit on him and call him a dog again. This treatment is not usual between people who make agreements.
Link (link back to my key argument) - With treatment like this from Antonio towards Shylock, and a promise to be just as cruel as in the future, it is shocking that they both agreed to the bond.

Point - Bassanio and Antonio

1. Antonio and Shylock dont get along: paragraph one
2. Antonio is willing to die for bassanio: paragraph two
3. Shylock didnt show mercy: paragraph three

Example paragraph
Antother reason this is shocking is because Antonio is willing to die for Bassanio. Antonio asked for the bond to get moeny for bassanio because they are real good friends and will do anything for each other. He agrees to get the money for Bassanio that he doesn't have right now but Antonio does. Also bassanio cares about antonio so bassanio forces shylock to agree to show mercy....

Mirror conclusion - TAKOL

In William Shakespeare 'The Merchant of Venice' a key moment that shocked the reader was when Antonio agreed to forfeit a bond of a pound of flesh if he couldn't pay back Shylock. This was shocking because Antonio hated Shylock and promised to mistreat him in the future. Antonio was willing to die for Bassanio even though he begged him not to take the risk.

Shylock Character Study #3

Many characters hold anti semitic views, but in places Shakespeare lets Shylock speak from the heart and suddenly we see him as a human, not a stereotype.

• In A1S3 when Shylock offers to lend money without interest some argue that he is being kind, do you agree? Kind because he is offering to give someone money which not much people would do.
• In A3S1 Shylock suffers great losses. Look for suggestions of his sorrow, loneliness and feelings for his dead wife. Tubal says ¨one of them showed me a ring that he had of your daughter for a monkey¨. Shylock replies with ¨out upon her, thou tortures me tubal. it was my turquoise, i had it of Leah when i was a bachelor. i would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys.¨

• In A4S1 when Shylock is sentenced, we again feel pity for him. Why is this an achievement for Shakespeare (consider his audience) Because they want us to feel bad and feel like we are in the strory.
• The Merchant of Venice is considered a comedy, however the character of Shylock makes it feel more of a tragi-comedy. Do you feel he is portrayed more as a villain or victim. Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts with supporting evidence from the play. I think he is a victim because shylock made a choice and antonio agreed.
• It has been argued that the play should be renamed ‘The Jew of Venice’. Why do you think this is? Would it change your initial view of the play? Would it be a more suitable name? Well it is about a jew but not really because the other characters make the story more fun and the title doesn't seem good but the merchant of Venice is a good name.
