In the final of three episodes on Shakespeare we ask if The Merchant of Venice really fits the comedy mould. Was the Bard an anti-Semite? What did he want us to make of Antonio and Bassanio’s bromance? And did Portia really walk her quality of mercy talk?
Content Warning: Discussion of antisemitism.
