This study guide for HSC students provides a study of William Shakespeare's drama, The Merchant of Venice for the NSW Stage 6 English Year 12 Common Module: Texts and Human Experiences. By engaging in close reading of the play, alongside Susan B. Anthony's 'On Women's Right to Vote', Nam Le's 'Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice', Siri Hustvedt's 'Eight Days in a Corset', Linda Burney's 'First Speech to the House of Representatives as Member for Barton', and Peter Carey's 'Report on the Shadow Industry', students will develop their knowledge of how texts provide insight into the emotions, behaviour, and motivations that form the core of human experiences. To help students master the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills the Common Module demands, a variety of analytical, creative, discursive, and reflective activities have been included in this student book. By completing these earnestly and diligently, students' skills and confidence in using disciplinary specific language, literary devices, and textual concepts in response to different texts is guaranteed to improve.
