This is one of the greatest work of Shakespeare. it still remains long lasting supremacy of friendship, love, relationship, envy etc. act 1 scene 1 was something too much give Antonio a frowned expression atlast we used to sing those lines.
personally, Shylock is my fav character - he lost everything, his daughter, his money everything.
shylock is the hero not antonio. Shakespeare must have it second part too. Being an icse kid (2020 batch)we studied this whole novel nd one additional textbook too so ive marked meanings of each nd every line.
