only see tragedy

I like Shakespeare, but I haven't seen this work.
The impression of this book only comes from a certain textbook in middle school. There is a bad guy who wants to cut a pound of meat from the person who owes the debt. Fortunately, a wise judge made a ruling that he can ask for a pound of meat. There can be no more, no less, and no blood shed, so the bad guys have to give up.
A few days ago, I heard the episode of "The Merchant of Venice" by chance and was moved by it, so I went to watch the movie.
Bad guys aren't bad guys, they're just resentful for so long that they want revenge. Revenge is also an opportunity given by Anthony himself.
"Does the Jew have no eyes? Does the Jew have no senses, no senses, no feelings, no flesh? Does he not eat the same food, the same weapons can hurt him, the same medicine can heal him, and the winter is equally cold, Summer will also be hot, like a Christian? If you stab us with swords, won’t we also bleed?”
This remark was deafening, but the persuaded heard no other reaction, just immediately said to inform Anthony .
What are the factors that separate people from each other? Personality, race, skin color, nationality, religion... Sherlock is just living diligently and living according to the law. If he is not a Jew, how can he suffer from being spat on for no reason, but Jews How is it different from others?
In the end, the judge said that he could ask for a pound of meat, no more, no less, or a drop of blood, otherwise he would have to confiscate his entire property. Sherlock just murmured pitifully, and asked the judge hopelessly, the law is like this required?
I was saddened by Sherlock's tragedy the whole time, but I didn't notice any comedy elements.

    Why can't I keep watching the end every time =_=||| The cast is obviously also very appetizing (Maybe I have an instinctive resistance to Shakespeare OTL)

    When I was in junior high school, I went to Qingcheng Mountain for a spring outing. There was a Chinese intern teacher (a student from Peng County Teachers College) who vividly told us about the Merchant of Venice in the car. From then on, I was fascinated by literature and words. The movie is more faithful to the original, not surprising, but Sherlock is more vivid and full. The English reading of Shakespeare's plays is very good.

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Prince of Morocco: [reading] "All that glistens is not gold. Often have you heard that told."

  • Jessica: I'm glad 'tis night. You do not look on me for I am much ashamed of my disguise. But love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit. For if they could, Cupid himself would blush to see me thus transformed into a boy.
