Now About Borrowing Money

{Recently I've: been: teaching
jthat perennial favorite, The
{Merchant of Venice, by one
¢Will Shakespeare. It’s a
flight, romantic comedy, but
.ithrough the pretty. speeches,

fand comic . complications ~~

‘runs an iron and ‘an irony
jthat almost steals the play
jevery time it is read or per-
;formed: the story of Shylock
jthe money-lender and his in-
ssistence on his pound’ of
‘flesh.

That word and that phrase
shave become part of our
‘language. You may have
‘heard someone say, “‘He’s a
regular Shylock,” or, “He
always wants his pound of
flesh. ”’ They are synonyms
tof a merciless greed, hatred,
sand desire for revenge.

For those who have for-
‘gotten the plot, or haven't
tread or seen the play, I'll give
‘a nocket synopsis.

A rich merchant is ap-
Proached by his best friend, a
young’-man’ who has
squandered alll his money, in-

Bill Smiley:

‘the money, interest-free, Pro-

vided the merchant will sign
a bond: that if the money is
Not repaid by a certain date,
Shylock may take a pound of
flesh ‘from any part of the,
merchant's body, :

Te’s all a: joke, of course.
As Shylock points out, a
pound of human flesh is not
worth as much as a pound of
veal, or even a pound of
hamburger. (This was before
inflation, I wouldn't bet on it
nowadays.)

The rich merchant agrees,
airily. After all, his ships will,
be in with their rich cargoes a
whole month before the bond
is-due. And nobody would
take a pound of flesh. :

(Shhh! We in the audience

Smart young lawyer to the
rescue, Shylock may take his
pound of flesh,‘ but not one
drop of blood, not one ninth
of an ounce more or less that’.
pound, or his own life,-and_
all his property,: is forfeit. :
Try that one on the next pig
youkill.

Now Shylock” was
stumped. “(An_.old cricket
term, chaps.) And that Will
Shakespeare knew his law.
He was continually involved
in litigation, like many a,
playwright. A great (to me).
line in.one of his plays goes,

. “Let's hang all the lawyers.””

Anyway. The whole thing
got me thinking ‘of usury.
This was once an honest term

they'do. They advertise it in
ail the media.

They run all the way from
our banks, among our most
respected institutions, down
to our finance companies; so

pected institutions, all the
way to the hood in Montreal

100 per cent interest, and
break-your knees with a base-
ball bat if you don’t ‘pay up.

for a Canadian bank, with

no Interest. Her look, would

. Shrivel your gizzard. Try bor-
rowing from a “financecom- *
pany” without pledging your _

grandmother’s bones for fer-
