The Merchant of Venice
Note- this is a re-write made by me!! It is a lot different so don't expect it to be the same. Each episode is sectioned off. Click the arrow button on the drop down menu and choose which episode you want to read. Also some characters aren't in this one. Thank you.Shylock, a Jewish moneylender walked into the streets, everyone stopped to look and sigh at him. He quickly walked down as the intense feeling of intimidation grew up inside of him.
A man stopped in his way and patted his back. It was Antonio who hated Shylock.
Antonio: (Spits near Shylocks foot) hey there Shylock where you off to?
Shylock: Ey? You dare come and talk to me you Christian fool!
Antonio: ouch that hurt, I only wanted to talk with you my friend.
Shylock: FRIEND! Ey? Not so long ago I was an alien, a foreigner and a dog, now I am your friend. Aye, such a pitiful man. S'cuse me.
Shylock continued to walk, Antonio stopped him once more.
Antonio: excuse me Jew, you do not turn your back on a Christian, I am like your god!!
Shylock: Eh, aye you are, a god of evil you are.
Antonio: I helped you through rough times you know.
Shylock: (Laughs) Ha! Don't you mean I helped you…
Antonio: What?
Shylock: Aye now I got you, yes I helped you and for what you ask? I don't know, but some reason I gave you money and a lot of it, and this is how you repay me, by spitting on me and calling me. Such a fool. Such a fool.
Antonio: if I may recall, isn't giving out money your job?
Shylock: Aye, but I give out money to whom I want, I am a businessman you see, I only make business with men that interest my money buds. And you did very well, but now I regret it.
Antonio: you know what I was like… why help me out then turn your back on me?
Shylock: that will remain unanswered, now move I have things to do.
Antonio: what giving helpless people money… fascinating.
Shylock: aye, and don't you recall you was once one of those helpless people… so think before you speak.
Antonio watches as the Jewish moneylender that outwitted him pass down the streets.
