Solution
I enjoyed reading, Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice”. The way the playwright uses the disguise to make the story interesting. The value of friendship is also a highlight here. How each friend helps the other at the time of need and how Portia disguised as a lawyer to save Antonio who had helped them by borrowing money, from Shylock. Shakespeare employs clever argument through Portia who saves Antonio by telling that he could take a pound of flesh from Antonio’s body without shedding a drop of Christian blood. And then Shylock realizes his mistake. That is a good story, which teaches one not to be greedy.
