    A better title? I like the original :-)

    You could have

    • The Money-Lender of Venice.
    • The Jew of Venice. (but there was a popular play in Shakespeare's day called 'The Jew of Malta' written by Marlowe, so this title is kind of a copy)
    • Niether a Borrower Nor a Lender Be.
    • For a Pound of Flesh
    • For Thy Love and For Thy Money
    • The Revenge of the Jew
    • A Matter of Interest. (ho-ho)

    How about: "Nearest The Heart"

    SHYLOCK: Ay, his breast:
    So says the bond;—doth it not, noble judge?
    Nearest his heart, those are the very words.
