（1） 该剧的主题(Themes)
Self—interest versus Love
The main difference between the other characters and Shylock appears to be that characters value human relationships over business, whereas Shylock is only interested in money. His greed outweighs his love and his hatred is much stronger than his greed. Could you find some examples which demonstrate this?
Mercy versus Revenge
The conflict between Shylock and the other characters comes to a head over the law is the issue of mercy. The other characters admit that the law is on Shylock’s side, but they all expect him to show mercy, which he refuses to do. What do you think of Shylock?
（2）文学手法(Motifs)
The Merchant of Venice depends heavily upon laws and rules----THE LAWS of the state of Venice and the rules set in contracts and wills. Laws and rules can be used for cruel purposes, but they are also capable of producing good when carried out by the right people. Give examples to show how the laws are in the play.
（3）象征( Symbols)
The pound of flesh
The pound of flesh that Shylock seeks lends itself to different interpretations. How do you understand it?
9. 结局,让学生学会自己编剧.
10. Sample dialogues:
Love versus Money:
S1:I think this happens a lot.
S2;I think so too. I am not sure about Western countries, but I think there are many parents in China who do not approve of such a marriage.
S3:But can they forbid it? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.
S4:It probably depends on your age. I think your parents can not forbid or refuse to allow a marriage.
S1: Still, I am sure many people want to have a say in the choice of a partner. You shouldn’t forget that in some parts of China even teachers can say something. After all, such decisions are not only up to the couple.
S3:Well, maybe it was like that in the past. But in modern China parents don’t have so much to say about it.
S2:Maybe they can not forbid it, but there are other things you have to see. What should not be forgotten is that parents still have quite a lot of power. After all, you should listen to your parents, and to do something which they don’t approve of is u wise.
S1:But is this particular case of Bassiano, It’s only about money. I think that would be wrong, because if they really loved each other then. |
