There are two main plot strands to The Merchant of Venice for international version , both closely intertwined. The second involves a loan the Jewish moneylender, Shylock makes to Antonio the merchant of the play's title. These two plot lines are connected because Antonio borrows money from Shylock in order to help out his friend, Bassanio, who wishes to finance a trip to Belmont to try his hand at Portia's three caskets' trial. The princes of Morocco and Aragon both choose the wrong caskets, but Bassanio correctly guesses that the lead casket, and the two are engaged.
