How to rewrite the Merchant of Venice in a form of comedy?

Question

We have this inter-class competition. And we are supposed to rewrite and portray MOV in the most interesting way or form. My class was assigned act 2 scene 3,4,5,6. It is where Jessica was talking to Lancelot, and then the masque. Please help, thanks!

Answer 1

Well the Merchant of Venice is already a comedy (anything where the main problem is resolved in a positive way is considered a comedy)

But you could always do it in a comedia del arte style with masques portaying each character (i.e. lancelot the fool, jessica the lover)
