The Merchant of Venice

This new year and semester we have stared reading The Merchant of Venice. In act one it helped us create a better idea of our characters or in other words our character development. With this blog post I plan to point out what character played a big role but not to take away from other characters. The Duke of Venice that big role because of how I interpreted his character and role. I saw him as a judge, in our society the judge has a lot of power, what this did is it related the Duke to power. Power will ultimately give anything a big role in almost every scenario, including this book. The Duke had the power in the courtroom allowing him to make choices, these choices can change in dramatic ways. This is why  the Duke of Venice plays and big role in the story of the book.
