LECTURES ON SHAKESPEARE
Second Of the Series by Prof. How
ard Griggs Well Attended,
''The Merchant of Venice Marks the
Close of One Style of the Great
Poets Famous Writings.

THE Ethical Awakening: The Merchant
Of Venice, was the subject OF the second
OF the Shakespearean lectures given by
Edward Howard Griggs at the Church Of
Our Father last evening.
Mr.. Griggs showed in a systematic way
how Shakespeare different interests in
human life gradually changed as he grew
from youth into manhood Although
the wealth OF beautiful poetry In this
drama" said the lecturer, is the same
as in the Midsummer Nights Dream
and other early efforts, stiH the .Mer-
chant of Venice marks the close of one
style OF his writings and the opening Of
another, with deeper interests in human
nature"
That improbabilities existed in this great
drama of Shakespeare vas shown by Mr..
Griggs. 1t is highly improbable that
ShylOck. the Jew. would have eXtOrted
and demanded such a bond as a pound
OF flesh. or that Portia would have al

types of character which go 10 make il
one Of the best acting plays"
Referring 70 the criticism that Shakes
peare borrowed material for his writings.
Mr.. Griggs said: Even If this fact were
true, IL in no way iessened the originality
with which he clothed his ideas. In the
beginning Shakespeare strikes the key
note OF this play
Describing the difference between the
poetry Of Shakespeare and Dante Mr..
Griggs said that in his pOetical method
Shakespeare was directly opposite 10

poet. portrays all phrases Of life In rela-
ton to law.

The character Of Shyiock. while a

In conclusion the lecturer said: The
Merchant of Venice may be termed the
ethical awakening of Shakespeare. be-
cause. unlike any Of the numerous plays
which he wrote later. the moral motive
was unfulhlled. Shylock. the dominating
character. is dropped out of the play after
the court scene. While the other leading
characters carry out the moral to happy
