Narayan > The Lost Child - Mulk Raj Anand > A Special Experience - Prem Chand The Merchant of Venice - William Shakespeare The Merchant Of Venis Characters Shylock :- Shylock is a Jew who lends money to his Christian rival Antonio, setting the security at a pound of Antonio's flesh. When a bankrupt Antonio defaults on the loan, Shylock demands the pound of flesh. This decision is fuelled by his sense of revenge, for Antonio had previously insulted, physically assaulted and spat on him in the Rialto (stock exchange of Venice) dozens of times, defiled the "sacred" Jewish religion and had also inflicted massive financial losses on him. Meanwhile, Shylock's daughter, Jessica, falls in love with Antonio's friend Lorenzo and converts to Christianity, leaves Shylock's house and steals vast riches from him, which add to Shylock's rage and harden his resolve for revenge. Bassanio :- He is a spendthrift who wasted all of his money in order to be seen as a respectable man. To regain his fortune, he is determined to marry Portia, a wealthy, intelligent heiress of Belmont. In Act |, Scene |, Bassanio first makes an appearance while Antonio are complaining to his friends that he is sad. Antonio's friends continue to speculate why he is upset, and Antonio asks Bassanio to tell him of the secret love he is hiding. Bassanio explains that he is in love with Portia and needs a loan to show his wealth and power to her. Even though Antonio has no money to give to Bassanio, he still promises to guarantee any loan Bassanio can find. In Act |, Scene Ill, Shylock finally agrees to lend Bassanio three thousand ducats for three months as long as Antonio guarantees the loan. Shylock is skeptical because Bassanio's friend Antonio 's ships are still at sea, and there is uncertainty whether they will return within three months. Portia :- Portia is beautiful, gracious, rich, intelligent, and quick-witted, with luxury lifestyle and high standards for her potential romantic partners. She is bound by the lottery set forth in her father's will, which gives potential suitors the chance to choose between three caskets composed of gold, silver and lead. If they choose the right casket - the casket containing Portia's portrait and a scroll - they win her hand in marriage. If they choose the incorrect casket, they must leave and never seek another woman in marriage. Portia is glad when two suitors, one driven by greed and another by vanity, fail to choose correctly, although she demonstrates tact to the Princes of Morocco and Arragon, who unsuccessfully seek her hand. She favoured Bassanio, a young Venetian noble, but is not allowed to give him any clues to assist in his choice. Later in the play, she disguises herself as a man, then assumes the role of a lawyer's apprentice (named Balthazar) whereby she saves the life of Bassanio's friend, Antonio, in court. Antonio :- The Merchant of Venice in the play is Antonio. The play is called after his because, though not himself the chief actor, he is the source and centre of the action. The battle of the bond story is fought round him. It is his generosity that starts the caskets story. Tubal :- Tubal is a friend of Shylock, a friend with whom he discusses the plan of revenge. Tubal is ready to place himself at the service of Shylock. Shylock mentions him as "Good Tubal". Yet this 'Good Tubal’, while telling Shylock of his search for his runaway daughter, torments him with the account of her extravagance in Genoa. Launcelot Gobbo :- Launcelot Gobbo plays the part of Fool in ‘The Merchant of Venice’. But he combines this with the role of servant and messenger. He is sensible enough to be useful on occasions in a menial role and clownish enough to afford diversion in a dull hour Shylock calls him patch. ("The patch is kind enough"), i.e. the fool who wears motley. Lorenzo :- Lorenzo is a poet with a great deal of the dreamer and artist about him. He has an artist's soul intensely alive to delight in natural beauty and music. This is well exemplified in his speech in the fifth Act : "How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank", etc. His artistic and refined nature draws him to Jessica whose outer beauty is the index of artistic sensibility within. He seems a most suitable lover for a girl of Jessica's type. Gratiano :- Gratiano is a constant companion of Bassanio. He is a big talker and Bassanio tells, not with much truth and definitely with some undindness, that he is the greatest talker of non-sense in entire Venice and that there are two grains (of wisdom) in his two bushels of wheat (talk). But Gratiano is a merry fellow and has a very positive outlook on life. He lays a great store by mirth and cheerfulness. Nerissa :- In Merchant of Venice, Nerissa is still friends with Portia and still her maid in waiting, but in this book, she is more sarcastic, more self-centred, and not as interested in Portia's well-being like in the play, Merchant of Venice. Jessica :- Jessica is the daughter of Shylock, a jewish moneylender, In the play, she elopes with Lorenzo, a penniless Christian, and a chest of her father's money, eventually ending up in Portia and Bassanio's household. In the play's dramatic structure, Jessica is a minor but pivotal role. Her actions motivate Shylock's vengeful insistence on his "pound of flesh" from Antonio; SOME IMPORTANT WORDS Lexical word :- Ua Car esq FaraeapT Ha Ue Ta 3S Ble G1 SE lexical word wed el Example :- Lion, Car, White, Love ellipses :- An ellipsis (plural: ellipses) is a punctuation mark consisting of three dots. > Use an ellipsis when omitting a word, phrase, line, paragraph, or more from a quoted passage.

PASSAGE Directions (Q.N. 1- 5) Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follows by selecting the most appropriate option. Antarctica is a icy continent in the South Pole. It is covered by permanently frozen ground, is surrounded by water and is about 1.5 times longer than the United States of America. The world's largest desert is in Antarctica. 98% of the land is covered with a continental ice sheet; the remaining 2% of land is barren rock. Antarctica has about 87% of the world's ice. The South Pole is the coldest, windiest and driest place on Earth. The coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was at the South Pole; it reached as low as -128.6 °F or - 88.0°C. On an average most of the Antarctica, gets less than 2 inches of snow each year. Although scientific expaditions virit Ahtarica, there are no permanent human residents. This is because of the extreme weather, which includes freezing temperature, strong winds and blizzards. There are about 4000 seasonal visitors to Antarctica. Antarctica hasn't always been located at the South pole. It has drifted, like the other continents and has ranged from the Equator during the Cambrian period, about 500 million years ago to the South Pole. During the time of the dinosaurs, Antarctica has more temperate and housed dinosaurs and many other life-forms. Now there is very little indigenous life. 1.

Directions (Q.Nos. 6-10) Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow, by selecting the most appropriate option. The first thing which a scholar should bear in mind is that a book ought not to be read for mere amusement. Half educated persons read for amusement, and are not to be blamed for it, they are incapable of appreciating the deeper qualities that belong to a really great literature. But a young man who has passed through a course of University training should discipline himself at an early day never to read for mere amusement. And once the habit of discipline has been formed, he will find it impossible to read for mere amusement. He will then impatiently throw down any book from which he cannot obtain intellectual food, any book which does not make an appeal to the higher emotions and to his intellect. But on the other side, the habit of treading for amusement becomes with thousands of people exactly the same kind of habit as wine-drinking or opium-smoking; it is like a narcotic, something that helps to pass the time, something that helps to pass the time, something that keeps up a perpetual condition of dreaming, something that eventually results in destroying all capacity for thought, giving exercise only to the surface parts of the mind and leaving the deeper springs of feelings and the higher faculties of perception unemployed. 6.

They can do three things that airplanes cannot do. First, when airplanes move upward, they must also move forward, but helicopters can move straight up without moving ahead. Second, helicopters can fly backward, which airplanes cannot do. Third, helicopters can use their rotors to hover in the air, which is impossible for airplanes. Helicopters can perform actions that airplanes cannot, they are used for different tasks. Since, helicopters can take off without moving forward, they do not need a runway for take off. They are used in congested areas where there is no room for airplanes or in isolated areas, which do not have airports. Because they can hover, they are used on firefighting missions to drop water on fires. They are used in logging operations to lift trees out of forests. Helicopters are used as air ambulances to airlift patients out of situations, which are difficult to reach by conventional ambulances. The police used helicopters to follows suspects on the ground or to search for cars on the ground. Of course, helicopters have military uses because of their design and capabilities. 11.
