WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616), dramatist, man of the theatre and poet, was baptized in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. He was the eldest son of John Shakespeare, a glover and dealer in other commodities who played a prominent part in local affairs, becoming bailiff and justice of the peace in 1568, but whose fortunes later declined. John had married Mary Arden, who came from a family of higher social standing. Of their eight children, four sons and one daughter survived childhood. In 1587 an actor of the Queen´s Men died through manslaughter shortly before the company visited Stratford. That Shakespeare may have filled the vacancy is an intriguing speculation. He was a leading member of the Lord Chamberlain´s Men soon after their refoundation in 1594. With them he worked and grew prosperous for the rest of his career as they developed into London´s leading company, occupying the Globe Theatre from 1599. Over 200 years after Shakespeare died, doubts were raised about the authenticity of his works. His play scripts have formed the basis for the English theatrical tradition, and they continue to find realization in reader’s ´imagination and, in richly varied transmutations, on the world´s stages. “The Merchant of Venice”(1600). Bassanio, a noble but poor Venetian, asks his friend Antonio, a rich merchant, for 3.000 ducats to enable him to prosecute fittingly his suit of the rich heiress Portia at Belmont. Antonio undertakes to borrow the sum from Shylock, a Jewish usurer, whom he has been wont to upbraid for his extortions. Shylock consents to lend the money against a bond by which, if the sum is not repaid at the appointed day, Antonio shall forfeit a pound of flesh. By her father´s will Portia is to marry that suitor who selects of three caskets (one of gold, one of silver, one of lead) that which contains her portrait. Bassanio makes the right choice –the leaden casket-. Antonio (The Merchant of Venice) - Wikipedia Antonio is the title character in Shakespeares The Merchant of Venice.
