| adam_text | What may words
wy...?*:
A Reading of The Merchant of Venice contains, in a form
resembling a running commentary, a comprehensive and, in many respects, uncon¬
ventional interpretation of The Merchant of Venice. The play s development of ideas is
unfolded in a literary analysis that focuses on the poet s words in their philological,
historical, and philosophical contexts. What the words say is that the play is domi¬
nated by the three Delphic maxims: Know thyself, Nothing too much, and Give surety and
harm
«
at hand. Within the intellectual and ethical compass of these tenets, the two-
stranded action of the play is developed, and the question of why Shakespeare added
the story of the caskets to the story of the bond is answered by the words aw and
choice, which are as closely connected semantically as the two stories are interrelated
in the dramatic structure. The self-knowledge achieved in the musical cadence of the
play is everyone s seeing God s image in the other person, and the law finally chosen
is forgiveness.
