The action takes place in Venice, Italy, and Belmont, the site of Portia’s estate. Shakespeare does not identify the precise location of Belmont, but the stage directions refer to it as being “on the Continent” (Europe). Presumably, Belmont is not far from Venice. Venice (Venezia) is in northeastern Italy on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. In late medieval and early Renaissance times, Venice was one of Europe’s greatest centers of commerce.

No, I'm kidding, it's Shylock.





You really should read it... I agree with the guy above me. It is a really great story!





Rent it even, it is a fantastic film as well! I don't think I have ever seen a bad portrayal.
