AB  - Attempts to find and unravel allusions to Venetian carnival in Merchant of Venice: for instance, "the masking celebrations around Bassanio's plan to woo Portia and Lorenzo's abduction of Jessica." Contends that the play "suggests how carnival functions . . . as a continuous dissembling of a having and renouncing of the flesh." Relates carnival ideas of flesh to questions of gender, race, and sexuality. English summary, 427.
