A Wilderness of Monkeys, Part 3
Yeah. I finally got around to finishing the Merchant of Venice fic, probably long after everyone has forgotten about it. Parts 1 and 2 are here.
All plot points involving quarantines and such are purely invented, and probably bear no relationship whatsoever to actual practices in sixteenth-century Venice. But to the best of my knowledge, nothing in Shakespeare bears any relationship to real-life Venice either, apart from the fact that he seems to have had a vague impression that it was a hyper-modern, cosmopolitan, and extremely capitalist city.
