AB  - Reads allusions to the "second Daniel" in Merchant of Venice as key to "the play's comedic-apocalyptic form," which "stages conventional comic types alongside theological questions." Suggests that Merchant of Venice does not portray "Christian transcendence of rivalry and difference," but rather, an economic exchange where "Shylock and Jessica are exchanged into gold."
