The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598.A merchant in Venice named Antonio defaults on a large loan taken out on behalf of his dear friend, Bassanio, and provided by a Jewish moneylender, Shylock, with seemingly inevitable fatal consequences.

In contrast to the Merchant of Venice, the person who must make the decision is a woman, not a man, and she makes her decision after God's will "not, as Bassanio does, after having reasoned out his choice in the best Renaissance manner".
