which they are more active than man. At the same time, Portia is an independent woman who has attained some measure of financial independence.In this play, there are two main humanists who have been talked about. One is Antonio. As we say, he is a wealth, kindhearted merchant in the beginning period of Capitalist society. Although he has been described as a weak, melancholy and lackluster character in my former paragraph. But we can’t deny that his indeed, actually, can be seemed the action of a real true human in that blood-stained economical system. He is sincere to Bassanio, generous to the needy; and kind to his other friends. All of the ideology showed by him puts him at the platform of humanism. And he stands for the superior capitalist, bourgeois which is against usurer and the feudal barons. The other humanist is Portia. She is the embodiment of wisdom, beauty,
strategy. She is also considered the very one who can represent the liberated woman in Renaissance in Shakespeare’s play. No matter what roles she displayed: rich heritage, tenderness lover, wise and far sighted lawyer and devoted wife. She gets numerous praises. Many people refer her to the intelligent, brave, liberated humanist, but every coin has two sides. At the back of Portia’s radiance exists something that would make us deep in thought. Is she real liberated thoroughly? Utterly the answer is negative. Because she still can’t enter court naturally in her dress but disguises her as a man in black-robe. So, we can get the conclusion that discrimination on gender and sex is still a problem that can’t be solved easily in any period.
An analysis of Shakespeare’s the Merchant of Venice from the perspective of the feminism theory manifests the fact that the Shakespearean heroines do not fall simply into two stereotypes,namely,the good or the bad. Instead,endowed with the modern anti-patriarchal spirit,they are in the center of the stage whereas the men are in a subordinate and marginal position.By doing so,Shakespeare has successfully undermined the patriarchal ideology and facilitated the demonstration of the traditional definition of women by a men-centered society,thereby offering a clear silhouette of his feminist ideas.
In a word, the Merchant of Venice is a comedy play. No matter how sophisticate the character expressed. I think the fundamental of Shakespeare is to punish the evil and praise the good. The main melody of this play is still very light and joyful.
