I'd like to start my first post , with one of Shakespeare's great works
The merchant of Venice

I'd like to say that it is not only a story , it's great ... and i advice you to read it if you don't read it before.
this story shows how evil was a moneylender and how intelligent was a prince ....

Antonia was a merchant and he sent all his money on trading around the world , his closest friend Bassanio wanted to marriage from a prince that he love Portia and he wanted money to court her but Antonio didn't have money also but he told Bassanio that he can borrow money from Shylock ( a money lender ) for three months. Shylock told Antonia that he will give him the money without interest if they become friends ( Shylock hated Antonio and Antonio hated him , so why ) .
for sure Antonia accepted and Shylock said to show that we are friends we will say that if you don't repay me the money bake i will take a pound of flesh from your body .
Antonio's ships sank and Shylock told him that he have to take his revenge , at last Antonia was saved by Portia ....

i did not mention all the information , but i will later
