The Merchant of Venice- William Shakespeare

Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice. Shylock the Jew lends a christian a substantial amount of money until the ship he has sponsored returns, and the surety he ask is one pound of flesh (The Xtian thinks it is a joke, but when news arrives of the ships sinking, Shylock demands his pound of flesh. He is ultimately foiled when it is pointed out that he is not entitled to any blood, and is challenged to devise a way to get the flesh without a drop of blood being spilt. I would have argued that I don't want th blood, it could be collected and given back to the Xtian, as long as I get the flesh!)

!It's from a play by William Shakespeare called The Merchant of Venice. I can't remember the entire story but someone has to pay in 'a pound of flesh' if they don't pay in money i think - it was along time ago since i studied the play.
