The characters of it are depicted as combinations of many elements. Such as Shylock, he combines cruelty and sympathy,etc.
But I found it difficult to pronounce some names, for I am Chinese. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much!
Graziano, Balthasar, Bellario, Cyriack.
Question... are you sure the names are spelt correctly?
the only name that matches ones in the copy of the play that I've been looking through is Balthazar.
Is Grazanio Gratanio?
Bellario Bassanio?
Cyriack Shylock?

I am sorry that the Word should be Gratiano. But Bellario is the right word for Portia's cousin, the doctor of law. And Cyriack is the name of Milton's pupil and friend, from the poem "To Cyriack Skinner".
