Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Merchant of Venice: A Study
The Iliad and Odyssey of Homer tingle with the life that was just vanishing when they were written, and yet they give us so much of the human nature all men have that their interest never passes away. The tragedies of Z - Eschylus were part of the history of their time but they have the thews and limbs of the giant spirit of man in them only a tragic struggle could have produced them but the struggle represented that which must recur as long as the human race is human. The Divine Comedy of Dante is full of the petty strifes and jealousies and hatreds of his day; but round them floats a mist of human tears and a sound as of the sorrows of the whole world his age had in it much of what the future was to be, most of the enduring elements of human tragedy and joy. The Gargantua of Rabelais teems with ephemeral jests that are long dead and gone: but there are in it both mockery and serious thought that will live till man is perfect. The Paradise Lost is saturated with the spirit of Puritanism 5 but it is Puritanism risen to its noblest when it feels it must pass away as a political and social power and retire into the hearts and lives of men; it contains the sublimer elements of the unending struggle between evil and good. The Faust of Goethe expresses the sceptical superiority to common beliefs and partialities that marked his own life and time in Germany but it also embodies the everlasting problem of desire and its nemesis and the passionate detachment from creed that belongs to all revolutionary times it gathers up the universal lessons of the French Revolution and writes them in letters of fire upon the records of human history. All the long-lived books of imagination have thus their roots down through the strata of their own age into those that rest upon the foundations of the world.

Excerpt from The Merchant of Venice: A Study
Others. And early manhood that succeeds has a brusque and unfeeling way Of assuming that all the world has to yield to it or even worship it. Joy too has something intolerant in its nature; it cannot bear to see beyond its own little circle of passion. But Shakespeare happily began with what is held by many to be the greatest misfortune that can occur to youth - social outlawry; he escaped from his native town in disgrace and joined a calling that was classed with vagabondage by all the laws of the time.' He could not have started with more lowly ambitions, and the effect on his nature was to engrain into it modesty and tolerance, two of the first ingredients of wisdom and success he would not be stirred to enter into the jousts of personal controversy and professional malice he held his peace when attacked, knowing that even a fool gets tired of tilting at his own shallow.
