2. Carnival in Venice. The Carnival of Venice, famous in history, has been restored in 1979 and is now one of the four major carnivals in the world. The freedom one gains by wearing a mask and losing one's identity, the freedom to let loose and indulge, is the reason why many people love the carnival. It is said that during the festival, one says to each other, "Hello, Mr. Mask." Tourists who make it to Mardi Gras at Christmastime are, after all, in the minority, and it's much easier to buy a mask, and it's not a big expense to buy a few small mask souvenirs. There are also tourists who buy a clown's hat and waltz through the streets, enjoying themselves. Since you're in Venice, you might as well let loose.

The theme of the play is to glorify benevolence, friendship and love, and it also reflects the conflicts between the commercial bourgeoisie and usurers in the early capitalist period, and expresses the author's humanist thoughts on the problems of money, law and religion in the bourgeois society. One of the major literary achievements of this play is that it portrays the typical image of Shylock, a profit-oriented and ruthless usurer.
The main plot of The Merchant of Venice is based on ancient legends. The plot unfolds through three threads: one is Portia's choice of a bride and Bassanio's selection of a lead box to marry Portia; one is the love and elopement of Shylock's daughter Jessica and Antonio's friend Lorenzo; and the other is the main thread, which is the Venetian merchant Antonio's borrowing of $3,000 from the usurer Shylock, a Jew, in order to help Bassanio to get married and cause the "cut a pound of flesh" contract dispute. Shylock because Antonio lent money to people without interest, affecting the usury industry, and insulted himself, so hate Antonio, take the opportunity to sign the loan contract to set a trap, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
