Much Ado About Nothing, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1907-1958 Productions

Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599, as Shakespeare was approaching the middle of his career. The play was included in the First Folio, published in 1623.

By means of "noting" (which, in Shakespeare's day, sounded similar to "nothing" as in the play's title, and which means gossip, rumour, and overhearing), Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other, and Claudio is tricked into rejecting Hero at the altar on the erroneous belief that she has been unfaithful. At the end, Benedick and Beatrice …

Judgment Against Shylock In The Merchant Of Venice, Thomas Niemeyer

Michigan Law Review

This subject has already received the attention of jurists. In 1872 von Jhering in his famous lecture "The Struggle for Law"' criticised severely the established admiration of the speech of Portia. von Jhering attacked this speech with great vigour and indeed spoke of it as a miserable subterfuge - the rabulous trick of a pettifogger. He finds that through this speech a truly tragic lot befell Shylock; a fate brought about by the usurer's lawful struggle for his rights, and through which the law of Venice was transfigured.

The Merchant of Venice is a 16th-century play by William Shakespeare in which a merchant in Venice must default on a large loan provided by an abused (Jewish) moneylender. It is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1599. Though classified as a comedy in the First Folio and sharing certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps most remembered for its dramatic scenes, and it is best known for Shylock and the famous "Hath not a Jew eyes?" speech. Also notable is Portia's speech about "the quality of mercy".
