The Merchant of Venice

Today's Shakespeare Challenge from chantler63's challenge.

Another one that needed a bit of looking up.

So what has Charlton Athletic got to do with TMoV? As the football (soccer) season draws to a close in the UK, there are many supporters looking for mercy so that their team avoids relegation.

So an extract from Portia's speech on mercy:

"Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice we all must see salvation,
We all do pray for mercy"

has inspired this blip. My husband and his brother have headed off to London to support their team. A win would be good!
